Oven Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages inthis manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:
You wil__/Ibe killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
You ca___n_nbe killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, 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.

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 open-
ings and surfaces near these open-
ings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors.
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.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No
commercial oven cleaner or oven liner

For correct rack placement, see
the rack placement chart in the

IMPORTANT: Never place food directly
on the oven door or the oven bottom.
Your upper/single oven has 3 racks and
5 rack positions. Your lower oven has
either 2 or 3 racks (depending on model)
and 5 rack positions. Rack position 5 is
the highest position, or farthest from the
bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is
the lowest position, or closest to the
bottom of the oven.
NOTES:
• Before turning oven on, position oven
rack(s) in desired location.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Roasting meats and poultry
• For even cooking, place the meat on a
rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the
meat out of the drippings and allows the
heat to circulate better.
e
Use a meat thermometer for the most
accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in
the center of the largest muscle or thickest
portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure
the thermometer is not touching bone, fat,
or the bottom of the pan.
4. Preheat oven.
PRESS
After the temperature reaches 170°F
(77°C), the temperature display will show
the actual oven temperature at each 5°F
(or 3°C) increase and stop at the set
temperature. One long tone will sound
when oven is preheated.
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 TM Conversion (see
the "Using EASY CONVECT Conversion"
section).
• For some recipes, you can reduce
convection baking time compared to
standard baking times. Use EASY
CONVECT Conversion.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
