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.

California to publish a list of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and re.
quires 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 mini-
mized by venting with an open
door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood,
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!

using multi-rack baking
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.
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.
o For browning foods on all three
racks.
• For large quantities of food,
OFF-SET RACK
When multi-rack baking you may use
the special off-set rack that came with
your oven.

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,
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.
To use the Pan and Grid

you will be using during baking, Let
the oven preheat thoroughly when
recipes call for preheating,
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..
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.
Oven
Temperature Sensor
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
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.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.

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.
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,

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.
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.
lf 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.
The U.So Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is
popular, but meat cooked to only
140°F (rare) means that some food
poisoning organisms may survive.
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.

OPERATION
Self.CleaningCycle
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5-6" gap at the bottom of the door,
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
t. Remove the broiler pan and grid,
oven racks, utensils and any foil
that may be in the oven.
2. Soil on the front frame,l" inside
the oven, and outside the door
gasket will need to be cleaned
by hand,
Front Frame
X
Clean these areas with hot water,
soap-filled steel wool pads or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub® to
remove any soil. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
3. Wipe up any heaw spil!overs 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, tf you
notice it becoming worn, frayed,
or displaced on the door, it should
be replaced.
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 oven door maintains a good
seal and prevents any heat loss.
_ tensils should
never be left in the
oven during a 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 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 parts.
