Electric Oven Safety
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
• Storage in Oven – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the oven, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
• Never Use the Oven for Warming or
Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
should not be left alone or unattended
in area where oven is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the oven.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the oven.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or
replace any part of the oven unless
specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

Electric Oven Safety
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element
in oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF OVEN – Heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot
enough to cause burns – among
these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No
commercial oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –
Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

Convection baking tips
• Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
• Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F
(16°C). Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION (see the “Using EASY
CONVECT CONVERSION” section).
• For some recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
• When baking on two or three racks, use
the CONVECTION BAKE setting for more
even results. (You can also use only one
rack when convection baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all
three racks to be an equal distance apart
for better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used. This will make sure
pans are not directly over each other.
Convection roasting
NOTE: See the “Roasting tips” in the “Cooking tips” section.
1. Prepare oven.
Position the rack properly. For correct
rack placement, see “Baking or convection baking” earlier in this section. Place

• Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see the “Using the
temperature probe” section) to determine
when meat has reached desired degree of
doneness. Insert the thermometer or probe
into the center of the thickest portion of the
meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For
an accurate reading, the tip of the thermometer or probe should not touch fat,
bone, or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat 1⁄2inch
(1.7 cm) or more and read again. If the
temperature drops, return the meat to the

• Do not line the oven bottom with any
type of foil,
liners, or
cookware.
Permanent
damage will
occur to the
oven bottom
finish.
• Do not cover
the entire rack
with aluminum
foil. Doing so will reduce air circulation
and overall oven performance.
• To catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles place foil on the oven rack
below. Foil should be turned up at edges
and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than
dish.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
or poultry to slow down surface browning
for long term roasting. Remove foil for the
last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield
piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
Adjusting oven temperature
Although your new oven is properly adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures, it may
cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the
baking/roasting results, you can change the
offset temperature by following the steps
below. The control will “remember” the
selected offset even after the power has
been interrupted or lost.
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature
with a thermometer. Opening the oven door
will lower the oven temperature and give
you an inaccurate reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change
as your oven cycles.
1. PRESS
Release the pad when a number and
CAL appear on the temperature display
and you hear a tone.
2. Set new offset temperature.
You can set the offset temperature
adjustment as low as -35°F (-21°C) or as
high as +35°F (21°C). Each time you
press BAKE, the displayed temperature
will increase by 5°F (3°C). Each time you
press BROIL, the displayed temperature
will decrease by 5°F (3°C). (To determine
the amount of adjustment needed, see
the chart later in this section.)
NOTE: If there is no “F” after the
temperature, you are in the Celsius
mode.
3. PRESS
NOTE: If you press LOWER OVEN
CANCEL instead of START, the offset
temperature will stay the same.

Using the temperature probe
The Temperature Probe is the most accurate
guide to the degree of doneness of meat. Use
it when baking, roasting any type of meat or
poultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.
NOTES:
• Do not use the Temperature Probe when
broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating, or
raising bread.
• Unplug the Temperature Probe before self-
cleaning the oven.
1. Insert probe into food.
Insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh
or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone.
2. Put food in oven.
Place meat on the convection roasting
rack, place rack on broiler pan and grid,
and place pan in the center of the oven.
3. Connect probe to oven.
Locate the Temperature Probe jack on the
right side of the oven wall. Insert plug into
jack. (Keep the top of the probe as far as
possible from the heat source.)
4. Close oven door.
5. Set temperature (optional).
Do this step if you want to set an internal
food temperature (from 130°F [54°C]
to 190°F [88°C]) other than 160°F (72°C).
NOTE: See a reliable cookbook or your
convection oven cookbook for internal
food temperature recommendations.
6. Choose cook setting:
• BAKE,

CONVERSION
EASY CONVECT Conversion lets you
convection cook without entering convection
cook temperatures and times. Simply enter
the standard cook temperature and time for
the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce
the temperature, or the temperature and
time, for convection cooking. (Convection
temperatures and times are not as long
because the heated air is circulated in the
oven cavity for quicker cooking.)
NOTE: The converted temperatures and
times are not precise because the food
categories you choose from are general.
(See “EASY CONVECT Conversion setting
chart” later in this section for which foods
you can cook in each category.) To ensure
proper cooking, the oven will prompt you to
check food at the end of cook time. If food

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the SelfCleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use
hot water and detergent or a soapy, steelwool pad for cleaning.
• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots
on door and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the SelfCleaning cycle.
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar
and/or milk as soon as possible after the
oven cools down. When sugar is heated
to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the high temperature can cause the
sugar to burn and react with the

etching, pitting or faint white spots.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to
slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the
“Caring for Your Electric Convection
Oven” section.) If you clean the racks in
the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on
the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain
birds. Always move birds to another closed
and well ventilated room.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
NOTES:
•
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer
and results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt
and damage the oven surface.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
• The door can not be unlocked or opened
until the cycle is finished.

How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
Your oven is preset for a 31⁄2-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your
oven. You can set the cycle anywhere
between 21⁄2 and 41⁄2 hours. (See “Setting the
controls” earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to
unlock.

For best cleaning
results
• After the oven cools to room tempera-
ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a
damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,
clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or
cleaning sponge.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer
and results in more smoke than usual.
• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer
the next time and hand-clean areas noted
in “Before you start” earlier in this section.
