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 their cus- tomers of potential exposure to
such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in a self-cleaning oven will give off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle, Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open door or window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any range,
Move birds to another well- ventilated room,
_ AUTION: Never line
the drip bowls with aluminum foil. Foil can
block the normal heat flow and damage the range.
Always use cookware and woks that are flat on the bottom and the same size as
the cooking element being
used. Cookware should not
extend more than 1" beyond the edge of the cooking element.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS iNFORMATiON NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire. Never use water on a grease fire; it will only spread the flames,
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: Never pick up a flaming pan.,.
1. Turn off the surface elements
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid Use baking soda or a dry
chemical, foam, or halon type extinguisher
OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan!

OvenCooking Tips
It is normal to have some odor when using your oven for the first time. To help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by opening a window or using a vent hood
in the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube This is a heat sensor that maintains the temperature of the
oven Never move or bend this tube
Temperature Sensor
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and may damage the oven finish. To prevent staining from spiltovers, you may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet on the rack below the food which may spill over
To prolong the life of your oven light bulb, follow these helpful tips: Always turn the light off when the oven is not in use or during a self-clean cycle If your appliance does not have a window in the door, you will need to open the door to make sure the oven light is off If your oven light is left on for an extended period of time, the oven wilt be warm when the door is opened due to the heat generated from the oven light bulb.
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element This area could
become very hot during oven use.
Never block this vent.
Oven Vent
Location
Preheating is bringing the oven temperature up to the temperature you will be using during baking
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat by weight - the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine")
You will get poor results if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads Low-fat spreads contain less fat and more water The
high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of favorite baked recipes The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become To ensure best results, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at Feast70% vegetable oil

The oven racks are designed with stop locks, a convenience as well as a safety precaution The guides have a bump to prevent the racks from tilting when racks are pulled out of
the oven.
Your oven has four (4) rack positions
The area above the top guide cannot
be used for rack placement

FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around the cookies for even browning
Always place oven racks in
the proper position while oven
is cool.
SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads that need a light brown crust
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE,
absorb heat and can be used for yeast breads, pie crust or foods that need a brown crust The oven temperature when using these pans should be reduced by 25°F

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide See Do It Yourself Temperature
Adjustment in the back of this manual
to make the adjustment if you feel
your oven is too hot or too cool for
your cooking preference
Your oven control has a selector knob for choosing BAKE, BROIL, or
CLEAN There are also three
indicator lights.
OFF
o PREHEATED Indicator Light
-- turns on and stays on when oven has reached selected bake
temperature
o OVEN ON Indicator Light --
turns on and stays on when bake,
broil, or clean function has been
chosen
CLEAN Indicator Light -- turns on and stays on for self-clean if the CLEAN Indicator Light flashes, you should check for one of the following:
1, The door handle is latched during
a baking or broiling function
2, The door handle is not latched
during a self-clean function
Your new range is equipped with a
hide-away-handle (used for self-clean
only) that can be hidden under the
maintop when it is in the unlocked position
1, Be sure the handle is in the
unlocked position and raise the cooktop
2, Push the handle into the latch
cover until it stops
3, Lower the cooktop
i
Never latch the oven door during baking or broiling.

OPERATION
Baking
1. Turn the OVEN CONTROL KNOB to selected temperature
from WM to 550°F
2. The "OVEN ON" indicator light will glow
3. When the oven has reached the selected temperature, a series of
short tones will sound, and the "PREHEATED" and "OVEN
ON" indicator lights wiJI glow
4. The "PREHEATED" and
"OVEN ON" indicator lights will remain on until baking is complete
and the control knob is turned to the OFF position
1. With the control knob in the off position, press and hold the MIN UP and DOWN arrow pad,
at the same time, until "ON" or "OFF" shows in the display
2. Holding the MIN UP and DOWN arrow pads, at the same
time, again will alternate be- tween 12 hour shut-off on or Offr
The Oven Temperature Sensor continuously senses and controls the temperature inside the oven. To
keep a constant set temperature, the elements wilt cycle or turn on and off during cooking
14
OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the upper element. The oven door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven when broiling Use the broiler pan and grid that came with your range Both are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids.
_11,,.__11ululu.................... r,,,,-_
If foil is used it must
be molded tightly to the grid and slits cut
into the foil to match
those of the grid. This allows fats and liquids to drain into the broiler pan, preventing fire and
excessive smoke. Always remove the pan and
grid from the oven. Storing or forgetting a soiled broiler pan in the oven is a potential smoke or
fire hazard.
IL ,,, , , #
The U S Department of Agriculture
recommends to cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an iNTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects
against food-borne illness
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink in the center
Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2 If your oven is connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a higher rack position andtor broil foods longer,
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect broiling This chart is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature

Clean these areas with hot water, soap-fiNed steel woof pads or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub ®to
remove any soil Rinse well with clean
water and dry,
3. Wipe up any heavy spiltovers on the oven bottom.
4. Do not clean the door gasket The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact If you notice it becoming worn, frayed or displaced on the door, it should be replaced
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5-6" gap at the bottom of the door
This allows for proper air circulation
Door paneU Gasket

Utensils should never
be left in the oven
during a self-clean
cycle.
The oven racks may be cleaned during the self- clean cycle, but wild lose
their luster and become hard to slide. If you choose to
leave them in during the cycle, wiping them down with vegetable oil after the cycle will help them slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent the room with an
opened window or hood vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new parts.

results, follow
the steps in
PREPARING YOUR OVEN
2. If your handle
is hidden, lift the cooktop and pull
the handle out as far as it will go
3. Slide the handle to the right Do not force the handle If it does not
slide easily, you have not pulled it out from the latch cover as far as it
will go Repeat Step 2
4. Turn the oven control knob to
"CLEAN", The "CLEAN" and "OVEN ON" indicator lights will glow
5. The handle will lock when high
temperatures inside the oven are reached
6. The clean cycle lasts 4 hours and
20 mfnutes; this includes cool down time. The "OVEN ON" and
"CLEAN" indicator lights will blink at the end of the clean cycle
Turn the oven control knob to the off
position You will need to wait for the
oven temperature to drop below the
lock temperature (approx 1hour) before attempting to open the door
The indicator light wilt not blink if the cycle is interrupted
After the cycle, you may notice some
white ash in the oven Just wipe it
up with a damp cloth or sponge
If white spots remain, scrub them with a soap-filled steel wool pad Be sure to rinse thoroughly These are usually
deposits of salt that cannot be removed during the cycle.
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the cleaning results, just repeat the cycle.
