STATEOFCALIFORNIA PROPOSITION65 WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

l,_ WARN I NG iThis product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide,

during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

IA WARNING I GENERALSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance

with the provided installation instructions.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended

in this manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician.

Before performing any service, disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel

by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

Do not leave children alone--children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where

an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

A CAUTION. Do not store items of

interest to children in cabinets above an oven

- children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.

Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around

the oven door.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard.

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of

180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do

not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst

of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

[ WARNING j OVEN SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

::_ Stand away from the oven when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.

::_ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

::_ Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks

or the extension rack to its fully open position is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

::_ Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

::: Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to

IA WARNING ISELF-CLEANINGOVENSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these

instructions may cause burns.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny silver colored oven racks (on some models), the

probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan, grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated oven racks may be left in the oven.

Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the

oven.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film

with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the

first time. To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from

packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a

soft cloth and allow to soak. NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It

cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Oven Racksand RackPositions

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

Oven Racks Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional

flat racks. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired

position before you turn the oven on.

ExtensionRacks

Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install

feature is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position, when placing or removing cookware.

If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your

oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite

lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the

rack several times to distribute the lubricant. To order additional graphite lubricant, read the

Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

Oven Racksand Rack Positions (cont.)

Traditional Flat Racks

The racks have stops so that when placed correctly on the supports they will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out until it stops. To Remove a Rack

Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To Replace a Rack

Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the stop-locks) and lower it into position. Push the rack all the way in.

If fiat racks are difficult to slide and/or remove, place some cooking oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the sides of the rack and each rack support.

Locoting

A CAUTION: Use caution when removing a rack from lowest position as door may be hot.

A CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, aluminum foil, pizza or baking stones, or any other items

on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier

than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25° F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies

and custards. Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom

browning. Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
