WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
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.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the oven. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with
hot surfaces or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.
■ 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.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the oven.
■ Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off.
■ Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door
and turning the oven off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ 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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include oven
vent openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
■ Never place cooking utensils 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.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your oven.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ 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.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■ 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 use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ After broiling, always take any broiler
pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire next
time you use the pan.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottoms. Improper installation
of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.

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.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
■ 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. Residue from
oven cleaners will damage the inside of the
oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
probe and any broiler pan, grid and other
cookware.
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.

NOTE: Do not extend the rack quickly. Food
may slide off the front of the rack.
To remove the rack:
Make sure the rack is pushed all the
way into the oven.
Pull both release levers toward the
front of the rack, hold them and
slide the rack toward you to the
bump (stop position) on the rack
support.
Firmly grasp both sides of the rack
frame and the sliding rack, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
NOTE: When handling the extension rack,
do not allow the sliding portion to fall open.
This can damage the slides.
To replace the rack:
Firmly grasp both sides of the rack
frame and the sliding rack.
Place the curved end of the rack
(stop-locks) onto the oven supports,
tilt up the front of the rack and
push it in as far as it will go.
CAUTION:Never use the rack
when its frame is not fully inserted in the oven
and locked into position.
■ When the rack is properly installed and locked
into position, the locking side paddles on the
rack frame will click-lock into place on the oven
supports. If the side paddles did not click-lock
into position, repeat the steps above and make
sure the side paddles have been correctly
cleaned and lubricated. See Extension Rack

Using the oven.
Aluminum Foil
Pan Placement
Baking Pan/Sheets
Preheating
Oven Airflow
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch a spillover by placing it
on a lower rack several inches below the food.
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 11⁄2″ space between
pans as well as between pans and oven walls.
NOTE: For convection baking of cookies, see
the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section.
Use the proper baking pan. The type of
finish on the pan determines the amount
of browning that will occur.
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate
browning. Cakes and cookies require this
type of pan or sheet.
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.
Use this type for pies.
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.
When baking in glass baking dishes, the
temperature may need to be reduced
by 25°F.
Allow the oven to preheat before placing food
in the oven. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The convection fan will turn on during preheating. The
control will signal when the oven is preheated—this
will take approximately 10 minutes. The screen will
show the set temperature.
When the control signals, foods should be placed in
the oven.
An internal cooling fan operates during all
oven modes. The warm air from inside the
oven will be exhausted out through vents
located at the bottom of the oven door.
Intake air will be pulled into the oven
through vents located between the door
and the control panel.
Do not allow this airflow to be obstructed
by blocking the vents at the bottom of the
door, or at the top of the door by draping
kitchen towels over the front of the oven
in undercounter applications.

The Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking Performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high- moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Using the probe.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in
damage to the probe.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing them from
the meat and outlet.
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug
the probe from the outlet until the oven
has cooled.
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
After preparing the food, follow these
directions for proper probe placement:
■ The tip of the probe should rest in the
center of the food and should not
touch bone, fat or gristle.
■ For roasts with no bone – insert the
probe into the meatiest part of the
roast.
■ For bone-in ham or lamb – insert the
probe into the center of the lowest,
largest muscle or joint.
■ For meat loaf or casseroles – insert the
probe into the center of the food so
that as much as possible of the metal
shaft is covered.
■ For fish – insert the probe from just
above the gill into the meatiest area
parallel to the backbone.
■ For a whole turkey – insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the inner
thigh from below and parallel to
the leg.
■ For a turkey breast – insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the breast
meat.

Broiling.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Close the door. Always broil with the door
closed.
Touch BROIL.
Place the food on a broiler grid in a
broiler pan.
For double oven models only,
touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN
to select the desired oven.
Follow suggested rack positions in
the Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature
and your preference for doneness will affect
broiling times. This guide is based on meats at
refrigerator temperature.
Touch HIGH BROIL or
LOW BROIL.
Touch START.
NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and
the fan may continue to run even after the oven
is turned off.
The broiler does not need to be
preheated for most broiling. However,
foods that cook quickly, such as thin
strips of meat or fish may require a short
preheating period of 2 to 3 minutes to
allow the food surface to brown in the
same time the food takes to be cooked
throughout.
Turn the food only once during broiling.
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in. Never leave your probe inside
the oven during a broil cycle.
To set the second oven, select PRESS
TO MAKE LOWER OVEN SELECTIONS or
PRESS TO MAKE UPPER OVEN SELECTIONS
as needed and follow the above steps.
The set temperature may be changed by
touching CHANGE TIME-TEMP.
The settings may be cancelled by
touching CANCEL.
The timer can be set by touching

Using the convection oven.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F or activate the Auto
Recipe™Conversion feature. See Auto
Recipe™Conversion in the Options–Settings
section.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off
while cooking to best distribute hot air in the
oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven
door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for
long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of the
convection heating element.
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are more evenly cooked and browned—often
in less time with convection heat.
■ Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple racks.
■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls
and bread.
When convection baking with only 1 rack,
follow the rack positions recommended in
the Using the oven section.
Because heated air is circulated
throughout the oven, foods can be
successfully baked using multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall
result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits and other quickbreads give very
good results with multi-rack baking.
For two-rack baking, place one rack
in the second (B) rack position. Place
the other rack in the fourth (D) rack
position.
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (B) position, one
in the fourth (D) position and one in
the sixth (F) position.
For best results when baking multiple
racks of cookies in Multi-Rack
Convection Bake mode, line up the front
of the cookie sheets with the front edge
of the racks.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them, and be sure the
pans do not touch the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F
can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease
spatters.
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Roasting when Using the Probe
Place the rack in the lowest position (A).
Insert the probe into the meat.
See the
Using the probe section.
Plug the probe into the outlet in the
oven. Make sure it is pushed all the way
in. Close the oven door.
Touch PROBE.
For double oven models only, touch
UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN to select
the desired oven.
Touch OK.
Touch the numbers to set the
desired internal meat temperature.
(The maximum internal temperature
for the food that you can set is 200°F.)
Touch ENTER.
Touch CONVECTION ROAST.
Touch the numbers to set the desired
oven temperature.
Touch ENTER.
Touch START.
The oven will turn on immediately and stay
on until the oven is turned off.
The convection fan will turn on (after a short
delay) and 100°F will appear in the screen.
(The temperature display will start to change
once the internal temperature of the meat
reaches 100°F.)
After the internal temperature of the
meat reaches 100°F, the changing internal
temperature will be shown in the display.
When the internal temperature of the
meat reaches the number you have set,
the probe and the oven turn off and the
oven control signals. To stop the signal,
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads
to remove the probe from the food. Do
not use tongs to pull on it—they might
damage it.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible
burns, do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
the oven has cooled. Do not store the probe in the oven.
NOTE:
■ If the probe is removed from the food before the
final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and
the screen will prompt until the probe is removed
from the oven.
■ You will hear a fan while cooking with this feature.
The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the
heat will not turn off.
■ You can use the timer even though you cannot use
timed oven operations.
■ On double oven models, you will not be able to
use the probe in the upper oven during timed oven
operations. This is because, with the probe, you are
cooking by temperature rather than time.
For best results when roasting large
turkeys and roasts, we recommend
using the probe included in the
convection oven.
To change the oven temperature
during the Convection Roast cycle,
touch CONVECTION ROAST and
then touch the numbers to set the
new desired temperature.

Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during
the first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
The oven racks may remain in the oven
during the self-cleaning cycle without
being damaged.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover
is in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of
any oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
NOTE: Self-Clean will not work if the
temperature probe is plugged in or if the Sabbath
feature is set.
■ On double oven models, you can
set a clean cycle in both ovens at the
same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the
end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
■ On double oven models, you can
use timed baking in one oven and
self-clean in the other at the same
time.
CAUTION:Never place cooking
utensils 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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and
water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
■ You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
unlock.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch CLOCK to display the time of day.
To return to the clean countdown, touch
SELF CLEAN.
Standard Racks
If they become hard to slide, wipe their side
edges and the oven rack supports with
cooking oil.
Extension Rack
If it becomes difficult to slide or if the
release levers become difficult to use,
see Extension Rack in the Care and cleaning
section. Do not spray extension rack with
cooking spray or other lubricant sprays.
If it becomes hard to remove or replace,
wipe the oven rack supports with cooking
oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.
NOTE: After the first self-clean cycle, the gray
stainless steel surfaces will change color. This is
normal.

■ Leave them uncovered.
■ Preheat on LOW setting.
■ Check crispness after 45 minutes.
Add time as needed.
CAUTION:Do not keep food in
the warming mode for more than 2 hours.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe serving
dish.
■ Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic pans
may need a higher thermostat setting as
compared to food in metal pans.
■ For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
■ Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
■ Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
■ Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
■ With large loads it may be necessary to use a
higher thermostat setting and cover some of
the cooked food items.
■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
■ Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.
CAUTION:Plastic containers, lids
or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven.
Melted plastic may not be removable and is not
covered under your warranty.
To Warm Serving Bowl and Plates
To warm serving bowls and plates, set the
control on LOW.
■ Use only heat-safe dishes.
■ Place the empty dishes on the rack.
If you want hotter dishes or want to
heat fine china, please check with the
manufacturer of the dishes for their
maximum heat tolerance.
■ The empty serving dish will heat while
the oven is preheating.
■ When holding hot, cooked foods and
warming empty serving dishes at the
same time, place the serving dishes on
a higher rack position and the food on
a lower rack position.
CAUTION:Dishes may be
hot. Use pot holders or mitts when removing
hot dishes.
