How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on the oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Before using your oven, read this guide carefully.

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

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 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.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this guide.

• 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 guide. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified technician.

• 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.

• Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the oven.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, 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.

• 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 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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.

• 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, stand or hang on the 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 allow anyone to climb, sit,

stand or hang on the oven door.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother fire or flame or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

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 foamtype fire extinguisher.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven.

• For your safety, 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.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent

opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

• Stand away from the oven when opening the door. The 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 ducts unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holders contact the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf 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 your 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 the broiler pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in

the broiler pan can catch on fire next time you use the pan.

• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom, except as suggested in this guide. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the oven 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 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.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to

set them properly.

2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.

Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,

especially during the first weeks of using your new oven.

3. Press BROIL again. The display will

NOTE:

• You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with the convection feature. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

• 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.

show “C” (Centigrade).

4. Press START.

Cookie Sheets

As an added convenience for you when using your new convection oven, we have provided three cookie sheets. The cookie sheets provide uniform

baking. They are dishwasher safe. They have an easy grip lip. They are durable and will not warp or rust.

Insulated cookie sheets are made of two layers of aluminum with an insulating layer of air. Aluminum is an oven baking metal. It is not however, a non-stick surface. If your recipe recommends greasing, spray lightly with a non-stick vegetable coating; wipe off the excess. If preferred, put a light film of shortening on the cookie sheet.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that, when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Cookies should cool at least 2 minutes before removing them from the sheet.

Your insulated cookie sheets can be used for convection baking or regular baking. However, if

you choose not to use Convection Bake for baking cookies and are baking on the insulated cookie sheets, you may find that the recommended baking time needs to be increased 3 to 5 minutes.

To remove the shelf

Bump

from the oven, pull the shelf toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has seven shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E, F and G (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Convection Cooking, Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

What is Convection?

CONVECTION COOKING

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 evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

Because food is heated faster in a convection oven when using the convection modes, many types of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than those suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe books often give times and temperatures for cooking in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible to reduce the temperature by 25°F.

CAUTION: 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.

When should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

In convection bake, heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

In regular or traditional baking, the bottom heating element heats the air in the oven which then cooks the food.

Convection Bake

• Ideal for baked foods cooked on multiple shelves. (Additional shelves may be ordered. Pub No. 3-A014).

• Good for large quantities of baked foods.

• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Traditional Bake

• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top crust when not baked with convection heat.

In convection roast, heat comes from the top heating element. 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. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Convection Roast

• Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

• Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement around food.

Traditional Roast

• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook a long time in liquid to become tender.

• Cooking bag

• Foil tent

• Covered dish

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.

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.

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 heatresistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.
