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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires

businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning 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.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

Energ-Sating Tips

● Preheat oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, listen for the beep, and put food in oven promptly after the oven is preheated.

● Always turn oven off before

removing food.

● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as

short a time as possible if it

is opened.

● Cook complete oven meals

instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature and in approximately the same time.

● Use residual heat in the oven

whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

Using

Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Electronic Controls so you understand how to use them.

2. Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run

at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this book handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of getting acquainted with your oven.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with

stop-locks so that when placed

correctly

on the shelf supports, they (a) will stop before coming completely from the oven, and (b)

will not tilt

when removing food

from or placing food on them.

remove

shelf from the oven, pull forward to stop-locks and lift front of shelf. Be certain that shelf is cool before touching.

To replace

shelf in oven, tilt

shelf up at front and slide curved

extension of shelf under stop-lock

on shelf support. Then slide shelf all the way into oven.

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.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf

supports—

A (bottom), B, C and

(top).

Shelf positions for cooking food

are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

Oven

I.ight

The light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the pad on the control panel to turn

the light on and off when the door is closed. On double-oven models, both lights come on when you open either door or touch the oven light pad.

Page 9

Baking

See Baking Guide.

NOTE: Double

oven models have controls for upper oven and lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the

left

side of panel are for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of panel are for the lower oven. The TIMER

ON/0~,

COOK TIME, and STOP TIME pads can be used for either oven.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an electronic control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven 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 Temperature section.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Step 1:

Position the shelf or shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time,

place

shelves on alternate shelf supports and stagger food on them.

Step

2: Close the oven door.

Step

Touch BAKE pad. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.)

The word “ON”

and

the changing temperature will be displayed as the oven heats up. When the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone will sound.

To change oven temperature during Bake cycle, touch

BA~

pad and then INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get new temperature.

Step

5: Touch

CLEAWOFF

pad when baking is finished and then remove food from oven.

How to Time Bake

Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. However, food left in the oven will continue to cook from heat remaining in the oven.

Foods that are highly perishable such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

To set the clock, first touch the CLOCK pad. “SET TIME” will show in the display. Press INCREASE or DECREASE pad until correct time of day is displayed.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time the oven will turn off automatically.

Step 1:

Position the shelf or shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time, place shelves on alternate shelf supports and stagger food on them.

Step

2: Close the oven door.

2:00

and the Cook Time is 3 hours. Adding 3 hours to the time of day equals

5:00.

Step 8:

Change Stop Time

from

5:00

by pressing

INCREASE pad until

“7:00” and

Stop Time appear in the display. The words “DELAY TIMED BAKE” and the temperature you have set appear on display.

the oven will turn on automatically and cook for the programmed 3 hours.

For best cooking results, remove the food from the oven immediately after the Stop Time is reached.

Foods that are highly perishable

such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,

poultry and pork should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the

g~owth

of harmful bacteria. NOTE: Be sure that oven light is

off because heat from the bulb will

speed harmful bacteria growth.

Baking Guide

Aluminum pans conduct heat

quic~y.

For most conventional baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they help prevent

overbrowning.

For best results, we recommend dull bottom surfaces for cake pans and pie plates.

2. Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware generally absorb

heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat

25°F.

lighter crusts

are

desired. Rapid browning of some foods can be achieved by preheating cast iron cookware.

40 minutes. For food with short cooking times, preheating gives

best appearance and crispness. Although preheating is not necessary with meats, it is preferred for baked goods.

3. Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for foods which cook longer than 30 to

4. Open the oven door to check food as little as possible to prevent uneven heating and to save energy.

NOTE: Double oven models have controls for upper oven and lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the left side of panel are for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of panel are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,

COOK TIME, and STOP TIME pads can be used for either oven.

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. When roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat.

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 steps:

Step 1:

Check weight of meat, and

place,

fat

side up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line

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 on oven liner or door.

Step 2:

Place in oven on shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

Step 3:

Touch BAKE pad.

Bake, as described in the Baking section.

For Frozen Roasts

● Frozen roasts of beef, pork,

lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

● Thaw most frozen poultry before

roasting to ensure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

Questions and Answers

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.

Q. Do I need to preheat my

oven each time I cook a roast

or poultry?

is unnecessary to preheat

your oven. Q.

When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes.

Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible, or buy rolled roasts.

Can I seal the sides of my foil

“tent” when roasting a turkey?

Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

the Probe

See Roasting Guide.

Correct Placement of the

Temperature Probe

Double oven models have a probe

in the upper oven only. 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

cookin~

foods to the exact

doneness you want. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.

The temperature probe has a

skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into

– a receptacle on the oven wall. Use

nandles

of the probe and plug when inserting and removing from meat and wall receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the probe—they might damage it. TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE,

MAKE SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED

BEFORE INSERTING.

After preparing meat and placing it on roasting pan rack, follow these

steps for proper probe placement.

Step

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger

Broiting

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil unit in the oven. You can broil in upper or lower oven on double oven models. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Step 1:

If meat has fat or gristle 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. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices-may become hot enough to catch fire.

Step 3: Position shelf on recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide.

Step

4: Leave door ajar at stop.

The door stays open by itself,

yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Step

5: Touch the BROIL pad.

NOTE: If BROIL pad does not

work, probe might be connected.

Remove probe.

—

Step 6:

Touch INCREASE pad for HI broil or touch DECREASE pad for LO broil.

Note: Chicken and ham are broiled at LO broil in order to cook food without

overbrowning it.

Step

7: Turn food only once during broiling. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

Turn food, then use times given for second side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 8:

When finished broiling,

touch the

CLEAWOFF pad. Serve

food immediately, and

l~ave

pan

outside oven to

cool

during meal

for easiest cleaning.

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 & 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. Should I salt the meat before

broiling?

A. No.

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the oven maybe low. In these cases, preheat the broil

unit 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.

Page 16

Broiling Guide

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.

2. Oven door should be ajar for all foods. There is a special position on door which holds door open correctly.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat

evenly

around outside edges of

meat.

Care and Cleating

Proper care and cleaning are important

your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your oven to assure safe and proper maintenance.

White Surfaces

For best results, clean the white surfaces of your oven immediately after

spills

and spatters occur. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to help prevent permanent staining. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.

Oven Shelves

Oven shelves may be cleaned with a mild abrasive cleanser following manufacturer’s directions. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil,

—.

soapy metal pads may be used following manufacturer’s directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. Note: Shelves will discolor during the self-cleaning cycle.

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler rack and carefully pour off the grease. Wash and rinse the pan and rack in hot, soapy water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack while hot with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a dish

cloth.

That way, burned-on

foods will soak loose while the

meal is being served. Do not store a soiled broiler pan

and rack in the oven. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

Oven Light Bulb

The light bulb is located on the back

wall

of the oven. Before

replacing the bulb, disconnect

electric power to the oven at the

main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely

before

removing

it. Do not touch a

hot bulb with

a~amp

cloth. If you

do, the bulb will break.

The oven lamp (bulb) is covered with a removable glass cover which is held in place with a

bail-

shaped wire. Remove oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

●

Hold

hand under cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of same hand, firmly push back wire bail until it clears cover. Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

● Replace bulb with 40-watt home

appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

● Place it into groove of lamp

receptacle. Pull wire bail forward to center of cover until it snaps into place. When in place, wire holds cover firmly. Be certain wire

bail

is in depression in center of

cover.

● Connect electric power to oven.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to

make the interior more accessible.

To remove the door,

open it a few

inches to the

s~ecial stop ~osition

that will hold

~he

door

o’p~n.

Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Note: Be careful not to place hands between the spring hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges are in the special stop 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. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

Page 18

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

NOTE: Double oven models have controls for upper oven and lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on

the left side of panel are for the

upper

oven. Pads on the right side of panel are for the lower oven. The

T~ER

ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and STOP TIME pads can be used for either oven.

Programmed Cleaning Time: 3 hours

Prepare

the Oven Before

Setting the Controls

Step 1:

Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven. (Oven shelves may be left in the oven. NOTE: Shelves will discolor

during the self-cleaning cycle.)

Step

Wipe up heavy soil on oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning

to prevent staining.

A. Oven Front Frame B. Openings in Door

C. Oven Door Gasket

D. Oven Light Bulb Cover

E. Air Grille

Step 3:

●

Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame (A), under the front edge of the oven vent, 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 will help prevent a 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. Also, clean under the air grille (E)

above the oven with soap and

water. Do not use abrasives or

oven cleaners.

Do not let water run down

through openings in the top of

the door (B). To help prevent

water from getting in these slots

when cleaning, open the door as

far as it will go.

Clean the door gasket (C) 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.

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 replace it.

Llake sure the oven light bulb

cover (D) is in place.

Step

Close the oven door and make

sure the oven light is off. Door latches

automatically.

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.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven time of day clock is not correct, can I still self-clean

my oven? A.

If the clock is not working then the entire control is not working. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able

to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

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 soiled area with hydrogen peroxide.

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

A. 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). Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean

cycle. Don’t wait too long between

cleanings. Q. Can I clean both ovens at the

same time (double oven models)?

A. No. There is too much heat. The

control only allows one oven to clean at a time.

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 may be 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?

A. Some types of soil will leave

a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

My oven shelves do not slide

easily. What is the matter? A.

After many cleanings, oven

shelves may become so clean they

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.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your 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 apt 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 temperature, set the oven temperature

25°F.

higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the temperature

should be changed.

To adjust the temperature, follow –

the steps below.

Note: In

double-

oven models, the thermostats in the upper and lower ovens need to be adjusted separately.

Touch BAKE pad.

2. Select an oven temperature between

500°F.

and

550°F.

3. Immediately, before “ON” appears, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The time display will change to the oven

adjustment display.

Note: This adjustment will not affect Broil or Clean temperatures. It will be retained

in memory after a power failure.

The oven temperature can be

adjusted up to

(+) 35°F.

hotter or

(-)

OUTSIDE OF DOOR: Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door.

Allow to cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water will prolong the time between self-cleaning cycles. Be sure to rinse thoroughly

to avoid additional stains. See Self-Clean section for more information.

Shelves can be cleaned with the self-cleaning function in the oven. For heavy soil, clean by hand and rinse thoroughly.

Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any soil will burn off when the unit is heated. NOTE: The bake unit can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If

spillover,

residue, or ash accumulates around the bake unit, gently wipe around the unit with warm water.

Cool before cleaning.

DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.

Scour stubborn spots with

soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

DO NOT STORE IN OVEN.

*Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be

immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of oven. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
