IMPORTANT

SA~TYNOTICE

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-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.

●

Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out.

●

Always turn oven OFF before removing food.

●

During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible.

●

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before self-cleaning operation.

●

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 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.

Automatic

~mer

and Clock

The Automatic Timer and Clock on your oven are helpful devices that serve several purposes.

To Set the Clock

Push in the center knob of the

Minute Timer and turn knob in either direction to set the Digital Clock numerals to the correct time.

(After setting the Clock, let the knob out, and turn the Minute Timer pointer to OFF.)

To Set the Minute Timer

The Minute Timer is the large dial to the left of the Digital Clock. Use it to time all your precise cooking operations. This dial also sets or changes the Digital Clock.

TO SET THE MINUTE TIMER, turn the center knob clockwise,

without pushing in,

until pointer reaches number of minutes you wish to time (up to 60).

Time Bake Uses Automatic Timer

Using Automatic Timer, you can TIME BAKE with the oven starting immediately and turning off at the Stop Time set or you can set both DELAYED START (some models say START) and STOP dials to automatically start and stop oven at a later time of day. It takes the worry out of not being home to start or stop the oven.

Setting the dials for TIME BAKE is explained in detail on page 10.

Self-Clean Uses Automatic Timer

The self-cleaning function on your oven uses the Automatic Timer to set the length of time needed to clean whether you wish to clean immediately or delay the cleaning until low energy times such as during the night. See page 20.

Questions and Answers

Q. How can I use my Minute

~mer

to make

surface

cooking easier? A.

Your Minute Timer will help time total cooking which includes time to boil food and change temperatures. Do not judge

cooting

time by visible steam only. Food

will

cook in covered containers even though you can’t see any steam.

Q. Must the

Clock

be set on correct time of day when I wish to use the Automatic Timer for baking?

A. Yes,

if you wish to set the

DELAYED START or

S~P

dials to turn on and off at set times during

timed

finctions.

Q. Can I use the Minute Timer

during oven cooking? A. The Minute Timer can be

used during any cooking function. The Automatic Timers (DELAYED START and

S~P

dials) are used with TIME BAKE and self-clean functions.

Q. Can I

change

the Clock while

I’m

~me

Cooking in the oven?

A. No.

The Clock cannot be changed during any program that uses the oven timer. You must either stop those programs or wait until they are finished before changing time.

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 Automatic Oven Timer so you understand its use with the controls.

2. Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

Read over information and tips

that follow.

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

Oven Controls

The controls for the oven(s) are marked OVEN SET and OVEN

TEMR OVEN SET has settings for

BAKE, TIME BAKE (on models so

equipped), BROIL, CLEAN and OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper heating units are then activated for that operation.

OVEN

TEMP

maintains the temperature you set, from WARM

(150°F.)

to BROIL

(550°F.)

and

also at CLEAN

(880°F.

The Oven Cycling Light

glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature settings, is speedy —rarely more than about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light and put food in the oven promptly after light goes out.

Oven Interior 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.

~ ~MO~

shelves from the

oven, lift up

rear

of shelf, pull

forward with stop-locks along

top

of shelf supports. Be certain that

shelf is cool before touching.

REPLACE shelves in oven, insert shelf with stop-locks resting on shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear of oven; it will fall into place. When shelf is in proper

position,

stop-locks on shelf

will

run under shelf support when shelf is pulled forward.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports

marked A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking

food are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically when the door is

opend.

On a model with oven window(s), use the

switch(es)

on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.
