Oven Light

The oven light comes on

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent behind the grille (see Features of Your Oven section).

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. Doing so may cause oven failure or fire.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with

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

Your oven temperature is controlled

very accurately using an electronic control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see Adjusting Oven Thermostat section.

Your new range allows you to set temperatures as low as 150° but these low temperatures are intended to be used after cooking to keep the hot food warm. Low temperatures will not kill all bacteria and therefore are not recommended for use until bacteria have been killed by higher temperatures.

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct

heat from above the food. Most

fish and tender cuts of meat can be

broiled. Follow these steps to keep

spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed

during broiling. Step 1:

near edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8” thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise

juices may become hot enough

to catch fire.

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

Without the slits, the foil 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.

oven door closed.

● Use tongs to turn meat

pierced meat loses juices.

● Steaks and chops should be at

least 1 inch thick for best broiling results. Pan broil thinner

● Always use 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.

● After placing food on the

shelves may be left in oven. Note: Shelves will discolor after the self-clean cycle.)

Step 2: Wipe up heavy soil on the

oven bottom.

B. Oven Front Frame C. Openings in Door D. Oven Door Gasket E. Oven Light

Step 3: Clean spatters or soil under the front edge of the oven vent (A), on the oven front frame (B), the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1“ into the oven). Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture. This brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

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

Remove the broiler pan,

openings in the top of the door (C). To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

Clean the door gasket (D) using a clean sponge to soak the soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated soaking may be needed depending on the amount of soil. Frequent cleaning will prevent excessive soil buildup. Do not rub the door gasket—the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to

abrasion. If you notice the

gasket becoming worn, frayed or

damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should replace it.

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

Step 4: Close the oven door.

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 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 temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important: The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

After a Clean Cycle

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to 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,

the cycle may be

repeated.

Timer uses the clock to start and stop the cycle.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not wipe the oven absolutely clean, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the Woven

Gasket around the oven door? A. Yes, but carefully, and only

with a clean sponge to soak the peroxide. See Self-Cleaning

Instructions.

except for a delayed clean

soiled area with hydrogen

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

This is caused by excessive soil. Press the CLEAWOFF pad. Open windows to rid room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled

(about 20-30 minutes) and the word LOCK is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset

the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” sound I

hear during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the

metal heating and cooling during

both the cooking and cleaning

functions.

Q. Should there be any odor

during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor

during the first few cleanings.

Failure to wipe out excessive soil

might also cause a strong odor

when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface

of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition,

resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide

easily. What is the matter? A.

After many cleanings, oven

shelves may become so clean they

do not slide easily. If you wish

shelves to slide more easily, dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves may lose some luster

and discolor to a deep gray color.

You Can Make

Adjusting Oven

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time

given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory

setting, and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. You may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly; however, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it

yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

To adjust thermostat:

1. Push BAKE pad.

2. Select an oven temperature between pressing immediately press BAKE again and hold for 4 seconds.
