Microwave Oven Safety

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the

grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the

grounding instructions are not

completely understood as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food. As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch EASY MINUTE while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using EASY MINUTE” section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset if you have interrupted the cycle.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish,

use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Page 9

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Test dinnerware or cookware before using.

To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute.

If the dish gets

hot and water stays cool, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Fire could result.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. Fire could result.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄16 inch above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hardboiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating.

Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven and possibly injure someone.

• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Make sure support base is all the way on the shaft in oven cavity floor. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your appliance dealer for a replacement.

Electrical connection

Your microwave is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240-volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the microwave is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.

Using CUSTOM DEFROST

Your microwave oven uses a preset defrost time and power according to the food setting and the food quantity that you choose.

NOTE: Standing time is included in the defrosting time selected by your microwave oven. This may make defrosting times seem longer than in other microwave ovens. (See “Defrosting tips” later in this section for more information.)

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1⁄4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in CUSTOM DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

Defrosting tips

• When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

• CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F or colder.

• If the food is kept outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting ready-made food, defrost by time and power and let stand after defrosting.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.

POPCORN

(3 SIZES)

Microwave Cooking

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time. This

may make the defrosting time seem longer than expected.

Popping popcorn

POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged microwave popcorn by touching just one pad. Pop only one package at a time. Try several brands to decide which gives best popping results. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking performance may vary with brand and fat content. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Start oven.

To reheat, flatten on plate or place in bowl. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir before serving.

Place in a microwave safe container. Cover with lid or plastic wrap. After cooking remove from oven, stir, cover, and let stand 3 minutes before serving.

NOTE: When cooking a 10 oz package of frozen vegetables (this equals about 11⁄2 cups), touch Quantity pad once for 1 cup of “tender crisp” vegetables (you cannot enter1⁄2-cup amounts) or touch Quantity pad twice for 2 cups of vegetables more fully cooked.

Place on microwave safe container. Cover with paper towel. After cooking remove from oven carefully.

Place in a microwave-safe container. For beans, carrots, corn, and peas, add 1 tablespoon water per cup. For broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower, cook immediately after washing with no additional water. If you like tender-crisp vegetables, set the Custom Cook quantity for half the amount of vegetables you are actually cooking. For example, when cooking 2 cups of vegetables, set QUANTITY for 1 cup. Cover with lid or plastic wrap. After cooking, remove from oven, stir, cover, and let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Follow package directions.

Pierce hot dogs with a fork and place on a microwave safe container. Cover hot dogs with a paper towel.

Before baking, remember to pierce potatoes with a fork several times. After cooking, wrap in foil and let potato stand 5 minutes.

Cooking tips

Cooking Guide

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount

of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food

being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerated temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be

heated faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it

takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat takes longer to reheat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster

than larger pieces and same-shaped pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.

• With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner

parts will cook faster than the thicker areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Retain food moisture

All coverings that allow microwaves to pass through are suitable.

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. This can cause the food to burst from steam building up in them during cooking. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand for a while after cooking. Standing time after defrosting, cooking, or reheating always improves the results since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.

• The length of the standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods distributes heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

continued on next page

Page 30

Cooking Guide

Arranging food

For best results, distribute food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the

same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform

cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the

food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin – this prevents cracking.

Shield the tail and head of whole fish with small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking but ensure the foil does not touch the sides of the oven.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Using aluminum foil containers

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, then refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food.

If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

• Place container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 inch

(19 mm).

• Container must be half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum

⁄4 inch (6 mm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place container on turntable.

• Reheating food in aluminum foil containers

usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven or possible personal injury.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization.

Page 31

Caring for Your Microwave

Oven

Your microwave oven has a stainless steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors

found in most other microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust or corrode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless steel surface as the result of food particles splattering during cooking. This is normal.

• Do not use metal scouring pads, steel wool or soap-filled scouring pads on the inside oven cavity. They will scratch the surface.

• Rub in the direction of the grain line to avoid marring the surface.

• Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

• If commercial cleaners are used, follow

label directions. If product contains chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water.

For exterior surfaces and control panel:

Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel

and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled

areas, use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

You can remove the glass turntable to clean the oven cavity floor; however, this oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place. Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable is removed for cleaning. See the “how your microwave oven works” section for more information about the turntable.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

CLEANING TASK

Routine cleaning and fingerprints

Stubborn stains and baked-on residue

Hard water spots

WHAT TO USE

Liquid detergent/soap and water, or all-purpose cleaner

Mildly abrasive cleanser or stainless-steel cleaners

Vinegar

HOW TO CLEAN

Wipe with damp cloth or sponge, then wipe with clean water and dry.

To avoid marring the surface, rub in the direction of grain lines with a damp cloth or sponge and cleanser. Wipe thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Swab or wipe with cloth. Wipe with clean water and dry.

Questions and Answers

QUESTIONS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to accommodate a large dish?

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

ANSWERS

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any rack not supplied with the microwave oven can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is

⁄4 inch [19 mm] deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (For more information, see “Using aluminum foil” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

You hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

What does “standing time” mean?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

3232

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

“Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vents.

Page 33

Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. Check the lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service. If you still need help, see the "Requesting Assistance or Service" section.

If nothing operates, check the following:

•

Is the microwave oven wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See the Installation Instructions.)

•

Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

•

Has the electric company experienced a power failure?

CAUSE

• The door is not firmly closed and latched.

• You did not touch EASY MINUTE START.

• You did not follow directions exactly.

• An operation that was programmed earlier is still running.

• You have not entered numbers after touching MICRO COOK.

• The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or

lower than normal. Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is too low.

• The cook power is not at the recommended setting.

• Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.

PROBLEM The microwave

Roasting tips

• Spatter can be reduced by lining the bot- tom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

• Use an accurate meat thermometer to determine when meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert the thermometer 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 should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

• After reading the thermometer once, push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.

• Check pork and poultry with a thermom- eter in 2 to 3 places to ensure adequate doneness.

• Poultry and roasts will be easier to carve if loosely covered with foil and

allowed to stand 10 to 15 minutes after removal from the oven.

NOTE: See a reliable cookbook for temperature recommendations.

4. Preheat oven.

GUIDELINES

Using Your Electric Oven

• When cooking with two racks, arrange the

racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

• For best results allow 2 inches of space

around each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE

1 pan 2 pans

3 or 4 pans

PLACE

In center of the oven rack. Side by side or slightly

staggered. In opposite corners on

each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Using aluminum foil

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or

other liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.

Do not cover

•

the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

• Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from

pies or casseroles by placing 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.

• Do not cook on the oven bottom. Permanent

damage to the oven bottom will result!

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 and hold Bake for 5 seconds.

PRESS

Hold for 5 seconds

Release the pad when a number and CAL appear on the temperature display and you hear a tone.

2. Set new offset temperature.

PRESS

You can set the offset temperature adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as +35°F. Each time you press BAKE, the displayed temperature will increase by 5°F. Each time you press BROIL, the displayed temperature will decrease by 5°F. (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. Enter the adjustment.

Broiling

NOTE: Preheating is not necessary when broiling.

2. Put food in oven.

Place food on grid in broiler pan and place in center of the oven rack.

NOTES:

• Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil element.

• To ensure adequate grease drainage,

do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.

• If foil is used to cover broiler grid, cut slits in foil to allow grease to drain away.

3. Close door.

NOTE: Do not keep the door open as on

other electric ovens. Unlike other electric ovens, the broil element will only stay on with the door closed. This gives you the high heat you need for broiling. However, if you leave the door open, the broil element will go off.

1. Position rack.

See “Broiling rack positions” in the “Broiling tips” section for recommended rack positions.

NOTES:

• Before turning oven on position oven rack(s) in desired location.

• Be sure the rack(s) is level.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to

protect hands if rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot.

• Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch hot broil element.

Broiling guidelines

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided.

They are designed to drain extra juices from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter and smoke.

• Use of foil on the grid is not recommended. The foil will not allow juices to drain.

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat on the edges to prevent curling.

• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.

• Pull out oven rack to stop position before

turning or removing food.

• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

• For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.

7. When broiling is done, turn off oven.

PRESS

Variable temperature broiling

• If food is cooking too fast or you want

the food to broil slower from the start, set the broil temperature between 170°F and 325°F. The lower temperature will slow the cooking.

• Thicker and unevenly shaped cuts of

fish, chicken and other meats may cook better if you use lower broiling temperatures when cooking to well-done.

Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, place food 3 inches or more from the broil element.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

NOTE: 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.

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not

get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.

• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots

on door and frame.

oven.

• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will

help reduce smoke during the SelfCleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar 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 porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

• 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 Range” section, p. 36.) 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.)

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

TIPS:

• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the

Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily

soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

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.)

Caring for Your Oven

To remove:

Removing the oven door

For normal use of your oven, you do not need to remove the door. However, you can remove the door by following the instructions in this section.

The oven door is heavy. Use both hands to remove and replace the door. Do not lift and carry the door by the handle. To remove and replace the door you may need help.

1. Open door all the way. NOTE: Two 5⁄32" Allen wrenches or two nails

of similar diameter may be used if factory furnished door removal pins have been misplaced. Be careful not to damage porcelain finish.

2. Insert small end of a door removal pin into each door hinge.

at lower corners to insure that hinge arms are fully engaged.

2. Open the door all the way.

3. Remove the door removal pins from

each hole.

NOTE: If the door does not operate freely,

you have not installed it properly. Repeat Steps 1 to 4.

Caring for Your Oven

Using and replacing the oven lights

The oven lights will come on when you open the oven door. To turn the lights on when the oven door is closed, press OVEN LIGHT on the control panel. Press again to turn off the lights.

bulb (12 volt, 5 watt maximum, available at most hardware stores).

4. Replace the light cover by snapping it back into wall.

5. Plug in oven or reconnect power.
