manually to the “off” position, before any
servicing.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
1. Tum oven controls and ventilating hood, if
equipped, off immediately.
2. Smother fire or flame, use dry chemical, or a
foam-type extinguisher.
• If the fire is in the oven, smother it by closing
the oven door.
• Baking soda is also effective, if available.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Oven Safety
Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before remoring or replacing food.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using
dry, sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching
into oven to place or remove food.
PAGE 2

Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires the Governor of Ciilifomia to publish a
list of substances known to the State of California
to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such substances. Users of
this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including Carbon Monoxide.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized
by properly venting the oven to the outdoors
during the self-clean cycle.
Cooking Safety
Do not use oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a g(X)d seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not
use oven cleaners or oven liner protective coating
of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean
oven. Clean only parts listed in this booklet.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler
pan, oven racks, and other utensils.
Cleaning
Be sure all appliance parts are cool before
toucliing or cleaning them. Clean oven with
caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Storage Above Oven
If storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures in storage areas above
the unit may be unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
PAGES
Plastics
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance that may
become warm or hot.
Aerosol Sprays
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE

flammable. Avoid their use or storage near a hot
appliance.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the
surface units, stove top grills, or add-on
oven convection systems. The use of
devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life
of the components of the appliance.
Grease
Use extreme caution when moving the grease
kettle or disposing of hot grease.
Hot grease is flammable. Avoid letting grease

slide easily after a clean cycle.
Turn off oven hght before clean cycle. The hfe of
the bulb may be shortened if left on during the
clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame and around the
oven vent with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
such as Bon Ami or soap and water. These areas
are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and
should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the
oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking
during the clean cycle.
Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice,
tomato sauce or milk-based sauces and sugary
spillovers. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not
acid proof The porcelain finish may discolor if
acid spills are not wiped up immediately.
Do not use oven cleaners or oven finer
protective coatings of any land on the self-clean
oven finish or around any part of the oven. To

Some soil may leave a hght gray, powdery ash
which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil
remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not
long enough. The soil will be removed during the
next clean cycle.
If the oven racks do not shde smoothly after a
clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack
supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to
restore ease of movement.
Fine, hair-hke hnes may appear in the oven
interior or oven door. This is a normal condition
resulting from heating and cooling of the
porcelain finish. These Hnes do not affect the
performance of the oven.
About one hour after the clean cycle ends, the

USING YOUR OVEN
Oven Characteristics
Every oven has its own characteristics. You may
find that the cooking times and temperatures
you were accustomed to with your previous oven
may need to be altered slightly with your new
oven. Please expect some differences with the
new appliance.
Oven Control for Lower Oven
or Double Oven Models
Indicator Light
The OVEN indicator light turns on whenever the
lower oven is turned on for a cooking operation.
The light turns on and off as the oven elements
cycle on and off
Oven Racks
Wall ovens are equipped with two lock-stop oven
racks. One rack is a “straight” rack while the other
is an “off-set” rack. The lower oven has only one
oven rack.
When using two racks for baking, place the off-set
rack in the bottom rack position. It is
recommended that the straight rack be used for
broiling.
To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull rack out to
the “lock-stop” position. Tilt up and continue
pulling until rack releases.
To replace: Place rack on rack supports, tilt up
and push toward rear of oven. Pull rack out to
“lock-stop” position to be sure rack is correctly
replaced.
The lower oven of the double wall oven has a
mechanical control to operate the oven. The
knob is labeled LOWER OVEN TEMP. This
knob is used to select the oven temperature.
Always turn knob just to the desired
temperature, never to a higher temperature and
then back. This allows for more precise oven
temperatures and is especially important if oven
is being set for a critical baking operation.
IMPORTANT (Self-Clean Oven Only):
DO NOT MOVE DOOR LOCK LEVER
TO THE RIGHT DURING HROILING
OR RAKING. The oven door may lock and
will not unlock imtil the oven cools.
Fan
A fan automatically turns on whenever the oven
is set for a cooking or self-clean operation. The
fan will automatically turn off when the oven has
cooled.
Rack Positions
Never place pans directly on the oven bottom. Do
not cover entire rack with aluminum fod or place
foil directly under utensil. To catch spillovers, cut a
piece of foil a little larger than the pan and place it
on the second rack located below the utensil.
Rack 4 — (top of oven) used for broiling thin
foods and for two rack baking.
Rack 3 — used for baking and for broiling thicker
cuts of meat.
Rack 2 — used for one- or two-rack baking and for
roasting some meats.
Rack 1 — (bottom of oven) for cooking larger
foods and for baking angel food cake or pie shells.
Place food in oven on center of rack. Allow 1 or 2
inches between edge of utensil and oven sides or
adjacent utensils. If cooking on two racks, stagger
foods on racks. Use rack positions 2 and 4 when
cooking on two racks.
To operate the lower oven: Turn lower
OVEN TEMP knob to desired temperature.
After cooking, turn the lower OVEN TEMP
knob to OFF and remove the food from the
oven.
PAGE 9
Preheating
Preheating is necessary for proper baking results. It
is not necessary for broiling or roasting. Allow the
oven to heat until the desired oven temperature is
reached (approximately 10-15 minutes).
Selecting a temperature higher than desired will
not preheat the oven any faster. Preheating at a
higher temperature may have a negative effect on
baking results.

How to Roast
Roasting is the cooking of tender cuts of meat
with dry heat. No water is added nor is the
cooking utensil covered. Searing is unnecessary.
If desired, season meat with salt and pepper.
Check weight of meat and place meat fat-side-up
on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Place oven rack in one of the two bottom rack
positions before oven is turned on. Preheating is
unnecessary for roasting meats.
Meats are roasted at 325°F generally (except
tenderloin, 425°F and smaller poultry at 375°F to
400°F).
Cooking time is determined by the weight of the
meat and the desired doneness. Use the chart
given below as a guide in determining cooking
times. For the most accurate results, use a meat
thermometer. Insert the thermometer so the tip
is in the center of the thickest part of the meat
and is not touching bone or fat.
Roasting Chart
After cooking, remove meat from the oven and
let stand 15 to 20 minutes for easier carving. Rare
or medium rare meats should be removed from
the oven when the internal temperature is 5 to
10° less than the final desired temperature since
meat will continue to cook slightly while standing.
Frozen meat may be cooked in the same way as
fresh meat if the meat is thawed first. It is also
possible, however, to cook meat from the frozen
state. Follow the same roasting instructions but
increase cooking time approximately 10 to 25
minutes per pound. When using frozen packaged
meat, follow package directions. Frozen poultry
should always be thawed before cooking except
when package directions recommend cooking
from the frozen state such as for frozen turkey
roUs. Do not refreeze meats that have not
been cooked first.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by
direct heat. The cooking time is determined by
the distance between the meat and the broil
element, the desired degree of doneness and the
thickness of the meat.
Broiling Tips:
Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and
insert. The broiler insert must be in place to allow
fat and liquid to drain to the pan below to prevent
spatters, smoke and flare-ups. Improper use may
cause grease fires.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil as this prevents fat from draining into pan
below. For easier clean up, the broiler pan can be
hned with foil and spray the insert with a non
stick vegetable spray.
Remove excess fat and slash remaining fat to help
keep meat from curling. This also reduces
smoking and spattering.
Place oven rack in the correct rack position when
oven is cool. For darker browning, place meat
closer to the broil element. Place meat further
down if you wish meat to be well done or if
excessive smoking and flaring occurs.
Broiling Chart
See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 15 for in
structions on cleaning the broder pan and insert.
To set oven to broil:
1. Press BROIL pad.
000° and BROIL indicator words will appear
in the display.
2. Press A pad to select HI for normal broiling
or ▼ pad to select Lo for low temperature
broiling.
3. For optimum results, remove broiler pan and
preheat broil element 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Broil with the oven door opened to the broil
stop position (opened about 6 inches). Turn
meat once about hallway through cooking.
Check for doneness by cutting a slit in the
meat near the center for desired color.
5. At the end of cooking, press CANCEL to
cancel the broil operation. The current time of
day will reappear in the display.
Use HI BROIL for most broil operations. Select
Lo BROIL when broiling longer cooking foods
such as poultry. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without
excessive browning. Cooking time may increase
if Lo BROIL is selected.
Broil times may need to be increased if range is
installed on a 208-volt circuit.

Explanation of Fault Codes
Your appliance is equipped with an electronic
control featuring built-in, self-diagnostic
software. This software continuously monitors the
control to insure safe and proper operation. If the
software should detect a questionable situation, a
FAULT CODE (F plus a number) will appear in
the display and continuous beeps may sound.
A fault code indicates that there may be a
functional error. As a safety precaution, the
control will automatically cancel the program.
PAGE 16
During Normal Oven Cooking
If a fault code appears in the display and
continuous beeps sound, press the CANCEL
pad. Then, reprogram the cooking operation.
If the fault code reappears in the display, call an
authorized servicer. Do not use the oven until the
control has been serviced. The cooktop can be
used.
During a Self-Clean Cycle
If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive smoke and
flaring may result in a fault code. If this occurs,
press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to
cool for an hour. Then, reprogram the oven for
the clean cycle.
If the fault code reappears in the display, call an
authorized servicer. Do not use the oven until the
control has been serviced. The cooktop can be
used.
Adjusting Oven Temperature
Your new appliance has been factory tested for
oven temperature accuracy. Even though your
range has been tested, you may find that the
cooking results with your new oven are different
from your previous oven.
If you have carefully followed the recipe,
reviewed the baking tips on page 11 and still feel
cooking results do not meet your expectations,
you can adjust the oven temperature. DO NOT
ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE if only one or
two items are not baking properly.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,
you can adjust it yourself To decide how much to
change the thermostat, set the oven temperature
25°F higher or lower than the temperature in
your recipe, then bake. The results of the “test”
should give you an idea of how much to adjust
the thermostat.
To adjust the thermostat:
1. Press OVEN TEMP pad.
2. Press A or T pad until 550° is displayed.
3. Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for
several seconds until 00° appears in the
display.
• If 00° does not appear in the display, press
the CANCEL pad and begin again.
• If the oven temperature was previously
adjusted, the change will be displayed. For
example, if the temperature was reduced by
15°, -15° will be displayed.
4. Press the A or ▼ pad to select the
temperature change desired.
• The oven temperature can be increased up
to 35° or reduced by as much as 35° (-35°)
in 5° increments.
• NOTE: If you delay in selecting a
temperature, the program will automatically
cancel and 00° will disappear. Regin again if
the program cancels.
5. Press the CANCEL pad and the time of day
will reappear in the display. The oven will now
bake at the adjusted temperature.
It is not necessary to readjust the oven
temperature if there is a power interruption. This
adjustment will not affect broil or clean
temperatures.
