NEVER WEAR loose fitting clothing when using your appliance

NEVER USE a towel or other bulky cloth as a potholder and 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

IMPORTANT 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.

o ONLY SOME 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 touch-

ing cooktop elements. They will retain heat after the range has been

turned off.

° NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent

behind the right rear element.

o COOKWARE USED for cooktop

cooking should be flat on the bottom and large enough to cover the

heating area being used, Under- sized utensils expose the heating

element and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing.

• NEVER LEAVE surface units 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. ALWAYS TURN utensil handles

inward and away from other surface units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact, and spillage.

PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is

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

contact the hot oven elemenL

o 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 result in the risk of

electrical shock and fire.

OPERATION

ConvectionBaking Tips

Convection Baking uses heated air that is circulated over and around

foods by the convection fan located in the back of the oven. When convec-

tion baking, cooking temperatures

used in recipes should be reduced 25° F.

Cookies, biscuits and other quick breads have excellent baking results

using multi-rack baking

When using 2 racks, place the two flat racks in positions 1 and 3o

METAL OR GLASS

Any type cookware will work in the

convection oven, However, metal pans hea.t faster and are recom-

mended, Glass pans cook more slowly.

PAPER OR PLASTIC

Heat-resistant paper and plastic that is recommended for regular ovens

may be used in your convection oven.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods

can be baked with excellent results on 2 or 3 racks at a time.

OFF-SET RACK

When multi-rack baking you may use the special off-set rack that came with

your oven.

o For browning foods on all three

racks.

• For large quantities of food,

OPERATION

ConvectionRoastingTips

During Convection Roasting, heat comes from the top element, The

convection fan circulates the heat

evenly around the food, Meats cooked in a convection oven

are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside,, In most

cases cooking time will be tess when using the Convection Roast feature,

CONVECTION ROASTING GUIDE

Use the recommended roasting

temperature. Preheating is not

necessary. Check foods at the end of suggested time. You may choose to cook longer.

When you are Convection Roasting, you should use the broiler pan and grid that came with your new oven.

The pan is used to catch grease

spills and the grid is used to prevent grease splatters.

OPERATION

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.

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..

Preheating is bringing the oven temperature up to the temperature

you will be using during baking, Let

the oven preheat thoroughly when recipes call for preheating,

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

Oven

The low temperature zone of your

oven (between 170 ° and 200°F)is available to keep hot cooked foods warm However, foods should not be

kept at these temperatures longer than 2 hours,

The oven vent is located behind the

right rear zone, This area could become hot during oven use° The

vent is important for proper air

circulation. Never block this

vent,

Oven Vent

Location

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

baking results.

When using your convenient Delay Start operation, foods such as dairy

products, fish, poultry, etco, should never sit more than 1 hour before

cooking. Room temperatures and the heat from the oven light promote bacterial growth.

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

The Oven Temperature Sensor at the back of the oven continuously senses and controls the tempera- ture inside the oven. To keep a con- stant set temperature, the elements

will cycle or turn on and off during cooking.

If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least I to 1 1/2" of air space around it. Place pans so one is not directly above the

other,

GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR DARKENED BY AGE BAKE-

WARE, absorb heat and can be

used for yeast breads, pie crust or foods that need a brown crusL The

oven temperature, when using these pans, should be reduced by 25"F.

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.

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 and!or 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.

tt 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 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.
