lectric Oven Safety

Your safety and the safety of others is 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 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 will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured
If you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identifythe 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 inthe manu-
al. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

m

. lectric Oven Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

oDO NOTTOUCH HEATING ELE-

MENTS 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• To use three racks during convection

baking, place one rack in position 5

(the highest position), another rack in

position 1 (the closest to the oven bot-
tom), and the third rack in position 3.

This allows all three racks to be an
equal distance apart for better baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in

opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used. This will make

sure pans are not directly over each
other.

• You can reduce roasting times and
temperatures for most standard recipes

when using the Convection Roast setting.

See convection roasting chart in your
convection oven cookbook for recom-

mended roasting times and temperatures.

• Use the convection roasting rack on the

when meat has reached desired degree of
doneness. Insert the thermometer or

probe into the center of the thickest por-
tion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of

• 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 (5 cm) 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 tl_e oven.

This results in better baking.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU
HAVE PLACE

1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly

staggered.

3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on

Using aluminum foil

• Do not line the oven bottom with any
type of foil,

|iners, or
cookware.

Permanent
damage will

occur to the
oven bottom

finish.

• Do not
block the oven

bottom vents.

• Do not cover the entire rack with

aluminum foil. Doing so will reduce air
circulation and overall oven performance.

• To catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles place 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.

Although your new oven is propedy 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 ther-

mometer temperature reading will change
as your oven cycles.

2. Set new offset temperature.

PRESS

You can set the offset temperature
adjustment as low as -35°F (-21°C) or as

high as +35°F (21°C). Each time you
press BAKE, the displayed temperature

will increase by 5°F (3°C). Each time you
press BROIL, the displayed temperature
will decrease by 5°F (3°C). (To determine

the amount of adjustment needed, see
the chart later in this section.)

NOTE: If there is no "F" after the

EASY CONVECT Conversion lets you
convection cook without entering convection
cook temperatures and times. Simply enter

the standard cook temperature and time for
the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce

the temperature, or the temperature and
time, for convection cooking. (Convection
temperatures and times are not as long

because the heated air is c{rculated in the
oven cavity for quicker cooking.)

NOTE: The converted temperatures and

times are not precise because the food

categories you choose from are general.

(See "EASY CONVECT Conversion setting

chart" later inthis section for which foods
you can cook in each category.) To ensure

proper cooking, the oven will promptyou to

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.

NOTE: See the "Broiling tips" section for
additional broiling tips.

2. Put food in oven.
Place food on grid in broilerpan and

place in center of the oven rack.

• Place food about 3 inches (8 cm) 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 broilelement will only stay on

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.

• Do not cover grid with foil, in order to
allow juices to drain.

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

• Use tongs totum meat to avoidlosingjuices.

• 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 ifleft 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.

Recommended rack positions are numbered

- Hand-clean frame

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

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the

gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.

• 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.

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

on door and frame.

• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored inthe

oven.

Cleaning cycle.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar
and/or milk 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, pitting or faint white spots.

• 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 Electric Convection
Oven" section.) 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.)

• 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.

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.

For best cleaning

results

• After the oven cools to room tempera-
ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a

damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,
clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or

cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes

longer and results in more smoke than
usual.

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get

the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough

or you may not have prepared the oven

property. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer

the next time and hand-clean areas noted

in "Before you start" earlier in this section.

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 3_-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 2_
and 4_ hours. (See "Setting the controls"

earlier in this section.)

The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3_-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.,Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it

takes longer for the oven to cool enough to

unlock.
