Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
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 technician 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 referred to a qualified technician.
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the oven 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 sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand
or hang on the oven door. They could damage the oven, or cause severe personal injury.
Be sure the oven is securely installed
in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.
Never leave the oven door open when
you are not watching the oven.
Always keep combustible wall covering,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from your oven.
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the oven.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not store flammable materials
in an oven.
CAUTION: Items of interest
to children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.

Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
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
and door may be hot when the door is opened.
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 rack to the stop-lock 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, except as suggested in this manual. 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.

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.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
NOTE: Failure to fully insert the probe into the meat may result in poor cooking performance because the probe will sense the oven air vs. the food temperature.
Never leave your probe inside the oven
during a self-cleaning or broil cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
CAUTION: To prevent
possible burns, use an oven mitt to unplug the probe from the oven outlet.
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 large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
NOTE: Self-clean and Broil settings will not work if the temperature probe is plugged in.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35ºF hotter or (-) 35ºF cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15ºF, touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
Adjust the upper or lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
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 affects 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.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results 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.
To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI.
For multi-rack baking, place the flat rack in the highest (C) position and the offset rack in the middle (B) position.

1 Rack Convection Baking
The convection oven comes with two convection baking modes: Multi and 1 Rack:
MULTI—for convection cooking on more than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad and then the 2 pad. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.
1 RACK—for convection cooking on one rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad and then the 1 pad. See the 1 Rack Convection Baking section below.
Introduction
Convection Fan Operation
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. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.
The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.
When convection baking, the Auto Recipe
Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe
Conversion in the Special Features section.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

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. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. 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.
How to Set the Lower Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

Grid
Broiler pan
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.

Slow Cook Guide
Guideline Tips
The slow cook program uses a complex series
of temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this reason, it is recommended that the slow cook program be allowed to run without cancelling or restarting. Restarting the slow cook feature while it is in progress may result in overcooked meat.
For juicy and tender meat, choose cuts
of meat such as chuck roast or a boneless blade roast. Leaner cuts of meat, such as top round, are drier and may need additional liquid.
Use only glass and ceramic dishes.
Metal pots and pans tend to transfer the heat into the foods too quickly.
Match the quantity of food to the size pan.
Fill the pan about 3/4 full for best results. Too large a pot allows the steam to escape, causing foods to dry out.
Always cover the pot with a lid
or aluminum foil.
A wide range of recipes may be used
in the slow cook feature. For best results some adjustments may need to be made. For smaller sized recipes, begin checking at minimum time. For large recipes or when doubling recipes, foods may be cooked for longer periods of time.
When the slow cook feature completes,
the oven will automatically switch to “warm” mode. If additional slow cook time is desired, this warm mode may be used to obtain the extra time.

the desired length of cooking time. Touch the WARMor
the WARM/PROOF pad once. Touch the START pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
For best results, place the food items
in a single layer. Do not stack.
Leave them uncovered.
Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
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 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.

How to Set the Lower Oven for Proofing
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
Place the covered dough in the oven on rack B or C.
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic may need to be anchored underneath the container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Touch the WARM/PROOF pad twice.
The display will read PrF (proof). The oven interior light turns on
and remains on during proofing. The proofing feature automatically
provides the optimum temperature for the proofing process, and therefore does not have a temperature adjustment.

When proofing is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily.
Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature to keep hot food warm.
Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. “HOT” will show in the display.

How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad once for a 5-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 5 hours is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The upper and lower oven doors lock automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven doors until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and LOCKED goes off in the control display.
When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to open the doors.
The word LOCKED will flash and
the word door will display if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven doors.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When LOCKED goes off, indicating the ovens have cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the doors.
You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time; however, they will not self-clean at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
When either oven is set to self-clean, both oven doors will lock. The ovens cannot be used when one of the ovens is set to self-clean.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the heating
element. Doing so could damage the element.
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.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the oven and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
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.
Using the self-cleaning upper and lower ovens.
