do not touch or let clothing or flammable material contact the

zones or hot surfaces until they

have had time to cool Other surfaces near the oven vent

openings, oven door and window,

and cooktop surfaces may also be hot enough to cause burns

• NEVER LEAVE cooking zones unattended at high settings Boifovers result in smoking or

greasy spitls which could catch fire

• NEVER cook on a broken cooktop; cleaning solutions and spillage could

penetrate it and create the risk of electrical shock or fire Contact a

qualified technician for repairs.

• ALWAYS TURN utensil handles inward and away from other cooking

zones to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact, and

spillage.

• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods under the vent hood, turn the fan on.

• ONLY certain kinds of glass or ceramic cookware can be used for

cooktop cooking. Make sure the cookware you choose to use is designed for cooktop cooking without breaking due to the sudden temperature change.

° ALWAYS USE care when touching

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 customers 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.

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_

Smother the flame with a tightly fitting lid, use baking soda, or use a dry chemical, foam, or

haion-type extinguisher

OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan!

1. Close the oven door and turn

controls off,

If fire continues, carefully open the door, throw baking soda on the fire, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher.

Oven Cooking 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,

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 spillovers, you may place

a piece of aluminum foil or a cookie

sheet on the rack below the food which may spill over

Opening the door often to check foods will cause heat loss and poor

baking results

Preheating is bringing the oven temperature up to the temperature you will be using during baking Let the oven preheat when recipes call for preheating.

To prolong the tife of your oven light

bulb, follow this helpful tip: Always turn the light off when the oven is not

in use or during a clean cycle. If your oven iight is left on for an extended

period of time, the oven will be warm when

the door is opened due to the heat generated from the oven light bulb

The oven vent is located behind the

right rear cooking zone. This area could become hot during oven use. It is

normal for steam to come out of the

vent and/or collect moisture underneath when oven is in use The vent is

important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent,

Oven Vent

Location

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 least 70%

vegetable oil

OPERATION OvenCookingTips(cont.)

Baking results win be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as

much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 11/2"of air

space around it_ If baking four cake

layers at the same time, place two layers on rack 2 and two layers on rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other

_L._J _ L._ _

The Oven Temperature Sensor continuously senses and controls the temperature inside the oven. To keep a constant set temperature, the

elements will cycle (turn on and off during cooking).

The oven racks are designed with stops, a convenience as well as a safety precaution The guides have a bump to prevent the racks from tilting when they

are pulled out of the oven This design allows the racks to be inserted in only

one way.

Bump in J_ tll

FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides, allow air to circulate all around

the cookies for even browning.

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 absorbs heat and can be used for

yeast breads, pie crust, or foods that need a brown crust. The oven

temperature should be reduced

by 25°F.

Your oven has six (6) rack positions The top position is only a guide It

cannot be used as a rack position.

Always place oven racks in the proper position while oven is cool.

CAUTION: When you are using the rack in the lowest position (1), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using

two pothoiders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low

and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and

pull all the way ouL Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest position (1)

OPERATION OvenCookingTips(cont.)

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_ If you feel your oven is too hot or too cool for your cooking preference, see Do-It- Yourself Adjustment in the back of this manual to make the adjustment,

NOTE: On some models the Oven

Control Knob must be pushed in

before turning.

Your oven control has a selector knob for setting Bake, Broil, or Clean

Simply turn the knob to the bake temperature setting you want to use

or to BROIL or CLEAN.

should remain opened 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.

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 outsider Using this positioning, cook side t 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 and/or broil foods longer.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of

the doneness of the meat will affect

nickel oven racks, they should be removed, tf your oven is equipped

with gray porcelain-coated oven

racks, they may stay in the oven during the self-clean cycle,

3. Soil on the front frame and outside

or around any part of the oven 4, Wipe up any heavy spillovers on

the oven bottom.

Do not clean the 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 or

frayed, it should be replaced

The gasket is designed to have a

5"-6 ° gap at the bottom of the door.

Nickel oven racks may be cleaned during the self-clean cycle, but will 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.

Gray porcelain-coated oven

racks may safely be cleaned in

the oven during a self-clean

cycle. It will be necessary to grease the edges of the oven

rack with a light coating of vegetable oil after a clean cycle. This will help maintain the ease

of sliding the racks in and out of the oven.

For the first clean cycle, vent the

room with an opened window or

hood vent. This will reduce the

odor when heating new parts.
