tip forward.
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on
the door or drawers of an oven can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Wear proper apparel. Loosefitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using this appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials come
into contact with hot surfaces.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
When heating fat or grease,
watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it
becomes too hot.
Do not use water or flour on
grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover
the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.
Use dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.
Do not touch heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements
may be hot and can cause burns even though
they are dark in color and appear to have
cooled. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns such as
oven vent openings, oven doors, and windows
of oven doors.
Read and follow the below
instructions and precautions for unpacking,
installing, and servicing your appliance:
• Remove all tape and packaging before
using the oven. Destroy the carton and
plastic bags after unpacking the oven.

fire extinguisher available, visible, and
easily located near the appliance.
• Proper installation—Be sure your
appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition
and local electrical code requirements. In
Canada, install in accordance with CSA
Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical
code, Part 1, and local electrical code
requirements. Install only per installation
instructions provided in the literature
package for this oven.
• User servicing—Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All
other servicing should be done only by a
qualified technician. This reduces the risk
of personal injury and damage to the
oven.
• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified
technician and an authorized repair
service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the oven at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in case of an emergency.
• Never modify or alter the construction of
an oven by removing the leveling legs,
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/
screws, or any other part of the oven.
• Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails,
always turn off the oven. If the oven is not
turned off and the power resumes, the
oven will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and
oven function.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using this appliance
for the first time, or when the appliance

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Use care when opening oven door. Stand
to the side of the oven when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
in hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any
part of the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS (some models)
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
• 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.
• Do not clean door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum
foil or any other materials to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self clean cycle
of any oven. Move birds to another wellventilated room.
Save these instructions for future reference.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (Figure 1).
When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture
may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 1: Oven vent location
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks
To ar rang e - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool.
To re mov e - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of
rack and slide out.
To re plac e - fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of
oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward and slide the rack
back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.
Type of Oven Racks
at handle
oven rack
• To maximize oven cooking space place the oven rack in the
lowest rack position for roasting large cuts of meat.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any
other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter
heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean
temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, and oven
racks will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important: Remove all racks and accessories from the oven
before starting a cleaning cycle.
