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:

DANGER

WARNING

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

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.

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.

■Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

■Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

MeatThermometer

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.

OvenVent

A

B

C

D

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.

BakingandRoasting

A

B

A.Broil elements

B.Bake element

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may operate during the Bake mode.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Depending on the model, the convection fan and element may operate during the Bake mode.

1.Touch BAKE.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 145°F and 550°F (63°C and 288°C).

2.Touch START.

“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 begin displaying the temperature as it increases.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3.Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.

10

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.

ConvectionBake

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.Touch START.

“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.
