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.

OvenTemperatureControl

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

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.

ADJUSTMENT °F	COOKS FOOD
(ADJUSTMENT °C)
10°F (5°C)	...a little more
20°F (10°C)	...moderately more
30°F (15°C)	...much more
-10°F (-5°C)	...a little less
-20°F (-10°C)	...moderately less
-30°F (-15°C)	...much less

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1.Press and hold BAKE until the oven display shows the current calibration, for example, “0° CAL.”

2.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

3.Press the TEMP “+” or “-” keypads to increase

or to decrease the temperature in 10°F (5°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between 30°F (15°C) and -30°F (-15°C).

4.Press START.

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.

AluminumFoil

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

PositioningRacksandBakeware

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 move 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 chart as a guide.

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

(on some models)

The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

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

If the oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the bake and broil elements will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

1.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

Close oven door. The display will show “door” and the heating elements will not heat if the door is open when baking and roasting.

2.Press BAKE.

Press the TEMP “+” or “-” keypads to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3.Press START.

A preheat time will count down and “PrE” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the timer will continue counting down. The temperature setting can be changed anytime after pressing START.

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

4.Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

Preheating

After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

BroilingandCustomBroiling

A

A. Broil element

Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.

■For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

■For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the 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 or custom broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.

Position food on the grid in 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 preheat the oven before putting in food, unless recommended in the recipe.

Close the door.

1.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

2.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

3.Press START.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.

4.Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

To Custom Broil:

When custom 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.

1.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

2.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

3.Press the TEMP “+” or “-” keypads to enter a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

4.Press START.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.

5.Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
