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 Gasket – The 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.

For smart enabled ovens:

■Remote Operation – This appliance is configurable to allow remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable materials or temperature sensitive items inside of the appliance.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the elements and impact the temperature.

The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

On double ovens, the upper oven and the lower oven can each be calibrated independently.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE: The oven display will continue to show the original set temperature and will not reflect the calibration offset. For example, if set to 350° (177°C) and calibrated to -20, the display will continue to show 350° (177°C).

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 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Oven Racks

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Racks

■■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■■ Do not position 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 charts as guides.

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.

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling results.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating

When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven begins preheating after Start is touched. The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature

will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature. They may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is

recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

Baking and Roasting

IMPORTANT: The convection fan and convection element may operate during the Bake function to enhance performance and heat distribution.

The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food.

This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.

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.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.

The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the element 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 “Accessories” 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.

Convection

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air distributes heat more evenly. 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 significantly 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. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor progress.

■■ 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.

■■ 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 (on some models)

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 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.

NOTE: It is normal for the convection fan to run during nonconvection cycles as well as during preheat.

■■ 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 “Rack and Bakeware Positions” section.

Convection Roast (on some models)

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry. During convection roasting, the broil, convect, and CleanBake™ elements 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 roasting, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Bake, broil, and convect 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.

NOTE: It is normal for the convection fan to run during nonconvection cycles as well as during preheat.

To Convection Roast

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the “Rack and Bakeware Positions” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Convection Broil (on some models)

During convection broiling, the broil element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.

The temperature is preset at 550°F (288°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.

If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on again immediately when the door is closed. 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.

NOTE: It is normal for the convection fan to run during nonconvection cycles as well as during preheat.

To Convection Broil

Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs otherwise.

To Proof

Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with waxed paper or plastic wrap coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2. See “Rack and Bakeware Positions” for diagram. Close door.

1.Touch Upper or Lower PROOF. Display will show 100°F (38°C).

2.Touch START.

Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, and then check at 20 to 25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.

3.Touch CANCEL for the selected oven when finished proofing.

Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and cover loosely. Follow same placement, and control steps above. Before baking, remove waxed paper or plastic wrap.

Temperature Probe

(single, upper and, on some models, lower oven)

The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. The temperature probe should only be used with Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast.

Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.

To Use

Before using, insert the probe into the food item. (For meats, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the meat and not into the fat or touching a bone). Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door.

NOTE: The temperature probe must be inserted into the food item before the mode is selected.

1.Touch the number keys to enter a probe temperature. The probe temperature is the desired internal temperature of the food when it is done. The temperature can be set between 110°F and 200°F (43°C and 93°C).

2.Touch Upper or Lower BAKE, CONVECT BAKE or CONVECT ROAST.

Touch number keys to enter an oven temperature other than the one displayed. The oven temperature is the temperature given in the recipe.

3.Touch START.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display throughout cooking.

“Lo” will appear as the probe temperature until the internal temperature of the food reaches 45°F (7°C). Then the display will show the temperature increasing.

When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “Cooking Complete” will appear on the oven display.

If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.

4.Touch CANCEL for the selected oven, or open the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

5.Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food. The probe symbol will remain lit in the display until the probe is unplugged.

To Change Probe Temperature During a Cooking Cycle

1.Touch a probe enabled cooking mode (Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast).

2.Follow steps 1 through 5 in the “To Use” section.
