Oven Light

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or
when the control panel light switch is turned on.

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
above the door or between door and air grille.

The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and

good baking results. Do not block this vent.

Oven Fan

This unit is equipped with a fan which automatically
turns on whenever the oven is set for cooking or
cleaning. The fan will automatically turn off when the
unit has cooled.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and
will not tilt when you are removing food from them
or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you,

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right
temperature when you are baking or roasting, you
can reset the thermostat yourself.

over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of
the oven, on either the second or third shelf from the

bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat

means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set
the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a
higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens

without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10
minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

25°F.

and use the recommended cooking time in the
recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies
or casseroles.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1 to 1

Y2

inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If
you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 is not directly
above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for best results.

Cookies

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at
a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet
or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted
uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven
controls are set for BAKE. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating
the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these directions:

A or B position.
No preheating is
necessary.

2. Check the weight of
the meat, and place,
fat-side-up, or poultry
breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan.
The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as
close to the size of the meat as possible. (The
broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line
the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using pan
for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid
spilling these materials inside the oven door.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to
to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove
the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to

NOTE:

● You may wish to use Timed Baking to turn the oven

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with

a meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at

the completion of cooking time is recommended.

Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For
roasts over 8 pounds, check with thermometer at
hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut
across the grain of the meat.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in
it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining

to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.

If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use

a rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown

as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat
for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with

food in oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.
Turn food only once during broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a
vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

1. Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes

with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.

2. The oven door should be left open to the broil

stop position for all food.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around

outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5
to 10 minutes only.

5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges,
which could soil oven with fat dripping, hang over
the sides.

6. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to

in~rease

browning,

preheat if desired.

7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning
the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and
increasing cooking time given in this guide

1 X times per side.

8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
positioning the oven shelf 1 position higher.

3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),
and only that area on the oven door that is outside
the gasket. Do not clean the gasket. Use detergent
and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad,
then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.
This will help prevent a brown residue from
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth. Never use a commercial oven
cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.

Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with
soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven
cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (D) is in place.

Do not let water run down through openings (C)
in the top of the door. To help prevent water
from getting in these slots when cleaning, open
the door as far as it will go.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and
fitting oven door gasket is essential for
efficient oven operation and good baking results.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or
damaged in any way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it replaced.

4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D)
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb
to burn out immediately.

The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves

slide more easily.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A
combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.

The oven door is removable

help removing and replacing
the door.

To remove the door, open

straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the

spring hinge and the oven frame as the spring hinge
could snap back and pinch your fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

“out” position. Position the slots in the bottom of the
door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door
slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

(Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by

hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.

●

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Do
not let water run down through openings in the top
of the door. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.

●

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
