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

DANGER

WARNING

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:

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.

■

You
instructions.

■

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.

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 protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.

■

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 well­ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil

because air must be able to move freely.

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

at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

Meat Thermometer

Not all models have a temperature probe. On models without a
temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine
whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree
of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should
be used to determine doneness.

A. Upper microwave oven
B. Oven vent
C. Lower oven
D. Warm air

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the lower oven. Blocking
or covering lower oven vent will cause poor air circulation,
affecting cooking and cleaning results.

Baking and Roasting

A

B

A. Broil elements
B. Bake element

Broiling

A

A. Broil

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven

temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will

turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is
closed, the elements will come back on approximately
30 seconds later.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be

ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for
easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ 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.

To Broil:

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise

control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and
poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Close the door.

1. Touch BROIL.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than
550°F (288°C). The broil range can be set between 450°F and
550°F (232°C and 288°C).

2. Touch START. A long chime will sound.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
until the oven is turned off.

3. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
elements, rack position 4 is recommended. For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

A temperature setting of 550°F (288°C) is recommended.
Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for

individual foods and tastes.

*Place up to 12 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid. For beef

to have a well seared exterior and rare interior, use rack 6. Side 1
should cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Side 2 should cook
for approximately 5-6 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of
smoke when broiling.

An “f” after the rack position number indicates that the flat rack
should be used rather than the roll-out rack.

Convection

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air distributes heat
more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard
thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, while sealing in moisture.

Most foods, using convect baking mode, can be cooked by
lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). The cooking time,
can be shortened by as much as 30 percent when using Convect
Roast, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so

that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air,
allowing browning and crisping.

■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only

when necessary.

■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with

lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the

minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick.

WARNING

Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to

determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

Convection Bake

A
B

A. Convection fan
B. Convection element (hidden)

The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to
stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If
the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the convection element, broil
element and the CleanBake™ element all heat the oven cavity.
After preheat, the convection element, broil element and the
CleanBake™ element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain
oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan
turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on
immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil
elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is
opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after
the door is closed.

■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may

need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake:

Before convection baking, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks,
place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides
1, 3 and 5.

1. Touch CONVECT BAKE.

2. Touch the number keys to choose whether or not to convert

the recipe.

3. If “1: Yes” has been selected, you will see screen with “easy

convect bake.” Then touch the number keys to enter a
temperature. The convection bake range can be set between
170°F and 550°F (77°C and 288°C).

The oven temperature will automatically be reduced by 25°F
(14°C) for EasyConvect™ bake, and the adjusted
temperature will show on the display, but the cook time will
not be adjusted.

Then touch the number keys to enter a cook time.
NOTE: If a temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 194°F

(90°C) is entered, the display will show only 170°F (77°C) and
not the reduced temperature.

4. If “2: No” has been selected, Convect Bake will continue

without conversion. Touch the “1” number keypad to use
Rapid Preheat or “2” to continue without Rapid Preheat. Then
touch the number keys to enter a temperature.

NOTE: Rapid Preheat Convect Bake should only be used for
1-rack baking.

5. Touc h STA RT.

“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 100°F (38°C), and “Preheating” will
appear in the lower area of the display.

When the actual oven temperature reaches 100°F (38°C), the
oven display will show the oven temperature increasing.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 chime will
sound.

6. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.
