drippings in your oven, ALWAYS KEEP the oven and surface

unit areas free from things that will burn Food, wooden utensils, and

grease buildup could catch fire Plastic utensils could melt and

canned foods could explode. Your appliance should never be used as a

storage area.

ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear of things that will burn (gasoline and

other flammable vapors or liquids). NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes, and wet cloths or sponges

couid cause steam burns. NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing

when using your appliance.

NEVER USE a towel or other bulky

cloth as a potholder, Make sure the

potholder is dry. Moist potholders and wet cloths or sponges could cause steam burns. DO NOT let potholders touch hot heating elements.

IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT touch cooking zones, surfaces near them, or interior oven

surfaces, These may be hot enough

to cause burns even though they are

dark in color During and after use, 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 Boilovers result in smoking or greasy spills 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 cooking zones. They wil! retain heat

after the range has been turned off,

. NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent

behind the right rear cooktop cooking zone,

• COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be flat on the bottom and large enough to cover the heating zone being used. Under- sized utensils expose the heating zone and may result in direct

contact or ignition of clothing. The proper size utensil will also improve efficiency.

PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is

cool, If racks must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pothotder

contact the hot oven element.

• AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler pan and grid out of the oven and clean them. Leftover grease in the broiler pan could catch fire the

next time you use your oven,

• ALWAYS USE care when opening the oven door. Let hot air and steam

escape before moving foods.

° NEVER USE aluminum foil to line

the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire, or electrical

shock could result

IMPORTANTSAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

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.

• CLEAN ONLY the parts listed in

this manual Follow all cleaning instructions. Be sure to remove broiler

pan and grid before the self-clean cycle

• NEVER RUB, move, clean, or damage the door gasket on

self-cleaning ranges. It is essential for a good seal

• NEVER TRY to clean utensils, cookware, removable parts, or broiler

pan and grid in the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT USE oven cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner or

protective coating d any kind should be used in or around any part of

the oven.

. IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode

malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have

it serviced by a qualified technician

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE!

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 ha!on-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.

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.

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

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 foi! Improper use can cause poor heat

flow, poor baking results, and may damage the oven finish. To prevent staining from spitlovers, 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 wilt be using during baking. Let

the oven preheat when recipes call for preheating.

To prolong the life 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 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 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

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 will 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 1W' of air space around it..tf 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.

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.

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

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

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 potholders, pull the rack out by

holding the sides of it. The rack is tow and you could be burned if you place

your hand in the middle of the rack and

pull all the way out, Be very careful not

OPERATION

Broiling

Broiling is cooking by direct heat from

the upper element The oven door

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 US. Department of Agriculture

recommends to cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least

an INTERNAL temperature of t60 ° 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.

Using this positioning, cook side 1 at Ieast 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

broiling The chart on the next page is based on meats at refrigerator

temperature

molded tightly to the

lf foil is used, it must be

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.

CAREANDCLEANING

Self-CleaningCycle

1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, utensils, and any foil that may be in the oven,

2. Soil on the front frame and outside the gasket on the door

liner will need to be cleaned by hand.

Front

Frame

Door Gasket 4

Door Liner

Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steeFwool pads, or

cleansers such as Soft Scrub e to remove any soil, Rinse well with

clean water and dry

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 tf 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,

This allows for proper air circulation,

Door Panel Gasket

Door Liner

It is normal for your oven door to give

the appearance of not having a good seal against the range This is due to

the gasket_ The location of the gasket on the door maintains a good seal and

prevents any heat loss,,

/'_'_\ 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

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.

For the first clean cycle, vent the room with an opened window or

hood vent. This will reduce the odor produced when heating

new pads.
