IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven in hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all bakeware and utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any other materials to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recom­mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
Do not touch oven interior or exposed heating elements until cooled.
SELF CLEANING OVENS (some models)

Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located as shown in Figure 1. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 1: Oven vent location
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Protective liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other materials to line the oven bottom, walls, racks, or any other part of the oven. Only use aluminum foil as recom­mended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other parts of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Types of Oven Racks
Glide rack
Figure 2: Rack Types
The flat handle oven rack may be used for most cooking needs.
The glide rack allows the user to check on food without removing it from the oven. For details on how to remove and replace the Glide rack see illustrations on next page.
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks
To ar rang e - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To re mov e - Pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
Important: This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven
racks which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
To re plac e - Fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using. To maximize oven cooking space place the offset oven rack (on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large cuts of meat.

AccelaHeat™
Use the AccelaHeat™ feature whenever you wish to start baking immediately, without the need for preheating. This feature provides good results when preparing convenience foods, such as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries, and tater tots. Food will finish baking in the time stated in the cooking directions without the additional time ordinarily required for preheating.
Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function for best results.
During AccelaHeat™, the fan will pulse on and off, and the bake element will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature for precise baking.
AccelaHeat™ may be set for any oven temperature between 200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
AccelaHeat™ best practices:
Always place the food in the oven on rack position 3. AccelaHeat™ is designed for baking on a single oven rack, placed in the center of the oven.
When using AccelaHeat™, use bakeware with low or no sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
To se t Acc elaH eat™ :
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns.
1. Remove food from packaging and arrange on baking pan.
2. Place pan in oven on rack position 3 (Figure 11) and close oven door. AccelaHeat™ is designed for baking on a single oven rack placed in the center of the oven.
3. Turn the oven mode selector to the AccelaHeat™ position.
4. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired tempera­ture. Baking will begin immediately.
5. To stop baking turn the oven mode selector to OFF. Also return the oven temperature selector to the OFF position.
Food that comes in strips, such as fish sticks and chicken tenders, should be placed on the pan with the ends pointing to the sides of the oven.
Follow the package directions for food preparation time and temperature. AccelaHeat™ works best when cooking foods longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a shorter cooking time, a few extra minutes may be required for optimal cooking results.
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake time.

Convection Baking
Convection baking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 14).
This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. The oven can be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of convection cooking:
Multiple rack baking.
Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Convection baking tips:
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is in the center of the oven.
Setting Convection Bake
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONV BAKE.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F.
6. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds before confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating.
7. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in the oven.
8. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera­ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi­tions.
For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place Glide rack in position 4 with the flat handle rack in position 1. (See Figure 14).
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 15 with pans on top rack near front and lower rack pans in the middle of the rack. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
Cookies should be baked on a pan with low or no sides. When using two racks for baking cookies, place the Glide rack in position 5 and flat handle rack in position 3.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.

Setting Convection Roast
Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices by using the bake element, convection element, broil element, and fan to circulate the heat
door, turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
Should an oven fire occur, do not open oven
evenly and continuously within the oven.
Convection roasting tips:
Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack (avail­able by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease drip­pings, and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. Do not use

1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.
2. Turn oven mode selector to Conv Roast.
3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting tempera­ture.
the broiler pan without the grid. Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack
Note: Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not neces­sary. At this time you may want to set a timer as a reminder for checking food.
Do not cover insert with aluminum foil.
Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC) ** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to pre­vent over browning and drying of the skin.
Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. A roasting rack (some models) can be used when convection roasting. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
Important: When roasting chicken use the flat rack in position 2 for best results. To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack when broiling.

Using the Broil Feature
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling uses direct heat and can produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the broil element. Always watch food care­fully to prevent burning. Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. The door must be closed for broil to operate. If the door is left open the display will show "d-O". Close the door for the function to resume. When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, oven racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. The insert is slotted and allows the grease to drain away from the meat and the high heat of the broiler into the broiler pan. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
If an oven fire occurs, close the oven door. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can be explosive; water can cause a grease fire to spread possibly causing personal injury. To prevent grease splattering, use the broil pan and insert when broiling.
To se t broil:
1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.
2. Turn the oven mode selector knob to broil. The indicator light will flash.
3. Turn the temperature selector knob to broil. The indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.
4. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element.
5. Broil with the door closed.
6. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF when
broiling is complete or to cancel broil
.
Recommended Broiling Times
Depending on the type, thickness, and the desired doneness of meat, it might be necessary to increase or decrease suggested broiling times or adjust the broiling pan to different rack posi­tions. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appli­ance, they may be purchased from Sears.

Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here:
Important:
The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature.
If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled before the probe temperature can be set.
If the meat probe is unplugged during cooking function the oven will stop cooking and turn off.
When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. When active, the internal food temperature is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.
Proper placement of probe in food.
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow the probe to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint.
For meatloaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food. When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
To set probe:
1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.
2. Plug the connector end of the probe into the probe recep­tacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall.
Figure 19: Meat probe components
3. When the probe is inserted, an acceptance tone will sound.
Close the oven door.
4. The default temperature of 170°F appears in the display. Press the key or to set the desired probe temperature between 140°F and 210°F. Once desired temperature is set, the display will sound an acceptance chime.
Note: The probe must be fully set before setting the oven mode and temperature mode.
5. Set the oven mode to Accela Heat, Bake, Conv Bake, or Conv Roast.
6. Set the oven temp control to the desired cooking tempera­ture. The oven will begin heating.
7. An up arrow and current meat probe temperature will appear in the display until the meat probe target tempera­ture is reached. If the meat probe temperature exceeds the maximum allowable temperature, the oven control will beep and HOT will appear in the display for 40 seconds to alert that the probe temperature is too high.
Figure 18: Proper probe placement for poultry
8. When the internal temperature of the food is within 10° of the set temperature, the control will chime and a CHECK FOOD reminder will appear in the display and will remain in the display and continue to chime every 60 seconds for five minutes or until the oven door is open.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.
Important note: Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temper­ature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).
Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
Important: Before making a temperature adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature selector knobs are in the OFF position.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. When the oven is idle, press and hold the light key for 3 seconds until the display sounds an acceptance chime. AUd should appear in the display.
