carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
■
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
■
CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
. In Canada, the range must be
electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian
Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
■ This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
■ Disconnect power before servicing.
■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors
or drawers.
■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
For self-cleaning ranges –
■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before

B. Food in position 2
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as
shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular or convection baking.
3-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2, 4 and 6.
Baking Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 5.
For best results when convection baking cakes on 2 racks, use
racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting
Precision Cooking™ System - Precise Bake
The Precise Bake system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake burner cycles on and
off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan may run while
preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during
preheating to provide the best results. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the
cycle.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use
racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF
(38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the
actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to
preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 10 to
15 minutes, depending on the model.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat rack should be in the oven during Power Preheat.
Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power Preheat.
Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if
preheating has already started, simply press POWER PREHEAT.
The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in
the oven and should be used only for one-rack baking. When the
power preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake
cycle.
■ 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, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
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, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
IMPORTANT: With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked
at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range
automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) for
convection cooking.
During convection cooking, the bake and broil burners and
convection element cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the
oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes
into any convection cycle.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
EvenAir™ True Convection
When convection baking, broiling or roasting, enter your normal
baking temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set
oven temperature by 25°F (15°C).
Convect Options
Convect Bake - Multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads,
casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes.
Convect Broil - Thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish or poultry.

RANGE CARE
Clean Cycle
AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes
heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than
1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free
alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “OVEN COOLING”
will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated
until the oven cavity cools down.
To C lea n:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easilyremoved soils.
5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. CANCEL may be
pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or
cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of
the initial 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain in the
oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain,
leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with
the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing
sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run
to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals,
including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads,
may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the
oven interior.
2. Pour 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto
the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the
water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The
water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
NOTES:
■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of
the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Clean cycle.
■ For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may
leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the
end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between
the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep
water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity
walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best
results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
