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 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

This is the safety alert symbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:

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.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNmNG: To reduce the risk of fire, eUectrbaU

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

m Proper installation - Be sure the oven is properUy

installed and grounded by a qualified technician,

m Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the

Room,

m 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,

m Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the oven,

m 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,

m Storage in Oven - Flammable materials should not

be stored in an oven,

m Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or

flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher,

m 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,

m

Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food,

m

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result

in injury.

m

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

m

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

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

OVEN USE

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

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.

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.

• Tocatch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

• Do not cover food with aluminum foil when convection
cooking (on some models).

IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain

finish.

RACKS

Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move 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 chart as a guide.

-15 ° to -20°F (-9° to -12°C) ...moderately less

-25 ° to -35°F (-15 ° to -21 °C) ...much less

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Press and hold BAKE until the lower oven display shows the
current calibration, for example, "0° CAL COOK TEMP," if not

yet adjusted or about 5 seconds.

2. Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXl//ECONO to
decrease the temperature in 5° F (3°C) amounts. The
