OVEN SAFETY

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:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For self-cleaning ovens:

■ 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.

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.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door and element or
burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven(s) provide accurate temperatures; however, they may
cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the
temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in
Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.

During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will
cycle on and off throughout oven operation.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well
ventilated room.

COOKS FOOD

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Press and hold BAKE until the oven display shows the current

calibration, for example, “0°F CAL COOK TEMP,” if not yet
adjusted, or about 5 seconds.

2. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN
to select oven.

Each oven calibration can be independently set.

3. Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXI//ECONO to
decrease the temperature in 5° F (3° C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 35°F (21° C) and

-35°F (-21° C).

4. Press START.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.

■ Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to

move freely for best cooking results.

■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is

at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.

RACKS

NOTES:

■ Position racks before turning the oven on.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.
