Energy-SavingTips
Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out.
Always turn oven off before
removing food.
During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible if it is opened.
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage
before self-cleaning operation.
Cook complete oven meals instead
of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or
roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature and in approximately the same time.
Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

Digital Clock and Minute Timer
The Electronic Digital Clocks on your oven are accurate, solid-state devices that serve several purposes. As clocks, they display the time of day on the display panel. When functioning as a minute timer, they count down the time you set to “0:00” and signal when they reach the end of the time.
NOTE: Clock must be set on each oven before electronic controls will work in the oven.
To Set the Clock
When you first plug in your range, or after a power failure of any kind, the digital displays show “88: 88” for about 15seconds, then automatically change to “PF” (for Power Failure). Your Electronic Digital Clocks are now ready to be set.

Step 1: Touch the CLOCK pad. The display shows “0:00~’
s
Step 2: Touch the Number Pads
the same way that you read them. As an example, to set 12:34, you touch number pads 1,2, 3 and 4 in that order. If number pads are not touched within several seconds after CLOCK pad, “EEEE” flashes and display reverts back to original setting. If this happens, retouch CLOCK pad and enter again.
Step 3: Touch the START pad. This enters the time and starts the clock. If you do not touch this pad, the clock automatically starts after 6 seconds. If you have entered an impossible time (such as 12:84) the display flashes “EEEE” for Error. If this should happen, just touch the correct number pads and clock starts. If “PF” appears, touch CLOCK pad, then numbers to
Sti3rt clock.
Correcting Time of Day: The time of day cannot be changed during a cooking operation. To change time of day, touch CLOCK pad and enter the corrected time.
Do not forget to set the clock in
the lower oven as well as the upper
oven. If you don’t set the clock;
the electronic controls in the
lower oven will not work.
Note: A few seconds after setting the clock in the lower oven, the display will go blank unless oven is being used. This is normal. Touching any pad for lower oven will reactivate display.
To
Set the Minute/Second
Timer
Step 1: Touch the MIN/SEC TIMER
pad. The display shows “0:00” and the word TIMER glows steadily.
7
Step 2: Touch the Number Pads for the minutes and seconds, just the way you read them. During the Minute Timing function, the numbers to the left of the colon are the minutes and the numbers to the right of the colon are the seconds. For example, to enter 10minutes and 45 seconds, touch Number Pads 1, 0,4 and 5 in that order. You may program the timer for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. If you make a mistake, touch MIN/SEC TIMER pad and start again.
Step 3: Touch the MIN/SEC TIMER pad, This starts the timer
immediately or after 6 seconds the timer starts automatically. During the timing function, the word TIMER stays on and the time counts down to “O:OOV
Step 4: When time is up, the display shows “0:00” and a signal sounds until you touch the MIN/SEC TIMER pad. The display then shows the time of day.
Questions and Answers
Q. Can I check the time of day while the display is showing Minute/Second Time?
A. Yes, simply touch CLOCK pad
and the display shows time of day until you remove your finger, then the display reverts back to Minute/Second Time.
Q. When I came home the other
day, the display showed “PF” instead of the time of day. What happened?
A. Your home had a power failure
while you were gone. There is
nothing wrong with the clock on your oven. Just reset the proper
time as described on page 7 and then the oven controls can be used.
Q. Can I use the Minute/Second Timer during oven cooking?
A. The MIN/SEC Timer can be
used during any cooking function. (You can check–but not change– the time of day by merely touching the CLOCK pad.)
Q. How can I use my Minute Timer to make my surface cooking easier?
A. Your Minute Timer will help
time total cooking which includes time to boil food and change temperatures. Do not judge cooking time by visible steam only. Food will cook in covered containers even though you can’t see any steam.
Q. If I start to change the time of day and touch the CLOCK pad, then discover that the time shown is right, do I have to reset the clock?
A. No. The original time of day
will reappear about 15 seconds after “EEEE” flashes.
Q. Can I change the clock while I’m cooking in the oven?
A. No. The clock cannot be
changed during any program that uses the oven timer or the display. You must either stop those programs or wait until they are finished before changing time.
Using YourDouble Oven
Your double oven is designed to give best results in baking, roasting and broiling when used as recommended.
Before using your double oven, look at the directions in this book for setting the electronic controls. Then open the oven and take note of the abbreviated instructions on the inside of the door. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them. And, while you’re at it, locate the broil unit at the top of each oven and bake unit just off each oven floor.
Oven Interior Lights
The light comes on automatically when an oven door is opened.
Touch OVEN LIGHT pads on control panels to turn the lights on and off when the doors are closed.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks. When you place them correctly on the supports, they’ll stop before coming completely out of the oven. What’s more, they will not tilt when you’re removing food or when you are placing food on them.
To remove shelves from the oven,
make sure they’re cool. Then lift up the rear of the shelf and pull it forward with the stop-locks along the top of the shelf support.
To replace shelves in the oven,
insert the shelf with stop-locks resting on the shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear of oven until it falls into place. When shelf is in proper position, stop-locks on shelf will run under the shelf support when the shelf is pulled forward.
Shelf Positions
Each oven has four shelf supports marked A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking food are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

How toBake and TimeBake in YourDouble Oven
SeeBaking Guideon page 12.
When set to bake, the double oven cooks by dry heat. Bake and broil units are both energized (the broil unit at reduced wattage) until the oven temperature you select (from 150 to 550°F.) is reached. The temperature control then turns the oven heating units off and onto maintain the desired oven temperature. In a quiet
kitchen, you may hear a slight
“click” sound during cooking as the
heating units are turned off and on. The oven temperature display will
show—90°F. or higher than actual room temperature until the oven temperature reaches 150”F. This
is normal.
As the oven heats, the temperature on the display may seesaw a few degrees. This, too, is normal, because the electronic control accurately indicates slight changes in air temperature.
Most foods cook satisfactorily without preheating the oven. If preheating is required, put your food in the oven promptly when oven signals that the desired temperature has been reached.
When cooking food for the first time, use the time given in your recipe as a guide,
the
Don’t open the oven door to check on foods any more often than necessary—doing so could cause undesirable baking results. Check when minimum time shown on recipe is up. Then cook food longer, if necessary.
Note: Cooking controls will not work after automatic oven cleaning until the oven has cooled and you unlatch the door.

Questions and Answers
Q. Why aren’t my foods done even though they’ve cooked the full time.
A. There are various causes for this
problem. You may have opened the oven door too often during cooking. Or perhaps you didn’t remove all containers other than those in use for baking. Check for these conditions and follow the suggested baking tips to avoid this problem in the future.
Q. If the display doesn’t show the
correct time of day, may I use Bake Time and Stop Time?
A. Yes, but to start and stop at the
time you wish to serve your meal, you should reset the clock to the correct time. Do it before you enter Bake Time and Stop Time.
Q. How do I bake at high
altitudes? A. You’ll have to change the
temperature and time of cooking as well as alter your measurements. For best results and further information, check your cookbook or state agricultural station.
Q. How do I use the automatic
oven timer if I want to begin cooking immediately but want the oven to shutoff while I’m gone?
A. Touch BAKE pad and enter the
desired oven temperature by touching the number pads. Then touch
STOP TIME pad and enter the time at which you want the oven to shut off. Touch START pad to begin cooking.
Note: Food will continue to cook if left in a hot oven.
Q. Are there certain foods that are
not recommended for Time Bake? A. Foods that are highly perishable
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pork should not be
cooked automatically unless the
standing time in the oven is not
more than two hours before or after
cooking. Foods should always be
chilled in the refrigerator before
cooking when you use a Delayed
start.

How toRoast in YourDouble Oven
See Roasting Guide on page K.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. It’s really a baking procedure used for meats. That’s why you use the Bake controls for roasting.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it’s not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered.
Check the weight of the meat and place it, fat side up, on the rack in the broiler pan that came with your range. This helps the meat to baste itself.
Always use a roasting pan that fits the size of your meat. A roast
placed in a pan too small for its size will drip over the edge.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing in the oven or after being removed from it. Take this into consideration
when determining your cooking
time.
To cook frozen meat roasts without thawing, allow more cooking time. For large roasts, add
10to 25 minutes per pound. For roasts under 5 pounds, add 10 minutes per pound.
To slow down surface browning on turkeys, you can use a foil
“tent!’ The tent-shaped foil should
be laid loosely over the poultry so the heat can circulate under the foil.
Most frozen poultry should be
thawed before cooking to make
sure it’s done evenly. Some,
however, can be cooked successfully without thawing. Check the packer’s label for specific directions.
How to Set Oven
for Roasting
Step 1: Use shelf position indicated
on the Roasting Guide on page 15. For very tall roasts, remove the second oven shelf.
Step 2: Place meat inside the oven and close the door.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, oven automatically shuts off,
“End” appears on display and oven beeps once a minute until CLEAR/OFF pad is touched.
Step 1: Insert probe into meat. Then plug probe into receptacle on oven wall.
Step 2: Touch BAKE pad. Display shows “BAKE” and a flashing indicator light points to OVEN TEMP. Touch number pads 3,2 and 5 to enter the desired oven temperature of 325”F.
Step 3: Touch FOOD TEMP pad. Flashing indicator points to FOOD TEMP on display. Use number pads to enter desired finished meat temperature from 90° to 199”F. Probe must be inserted into receptacle or “PROB” flashes on display.
Step 4: Touch START pad. Display shows oven temperature rising to preset temperature. Display also shows actual food temperature rising. When desired temperature
is reached oven automatically shuts off, “End” appears on display and oven beeps once a minute.
Step 5: Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to turn signal off. Remove the probe.
Correct Placement of
the Temperature Probe
for Roasting
The temperature probe may be used only in the upper oven. It has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into a receptacle on the oven wall. Use handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing these parts from meat and wall receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on cable when removing probe at end of
cooking—they might damage it. After preparing meat and placing
it on the roasting pan rack, follow these steps for proper probe placement.
Step 1: Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. Point should rest in the cente; of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
Step 2: Insert the probe into the meat up to the point marked off with your finger. It should not
touch bone, fat or gristle. No more
than two inches of the probe, not counting the handle, should be lejl exposed outside the meat.
Step 3: Plug the other end of the
cable into the receptacle, making sure that it is securely seated, all the way in. Close the oven door.
Poultry
Insert probe into meatiest part of inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
Casseroles or Fish
Insert probe into center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert probe from just above gill into meatiest area, parallel to backbone.
Ham or Lamb
Insert probe into cut end, meatiest part of ham or lamb without a bone. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert probe into center of lowest large muscle or joint.
Questions and Answers
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible or buy a rolled roast.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey? A. You shouldn’t. Sealing it will
steam the meat. Leaving the “tent” unsealed lets air circulate and brown the meat.
Q. Why does my roast crumble
when I try to carve it? A. It’s probably too warm. Roasts
are easier to slice if you let them cool for 10 to 20 minutes after you take them out of the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Can the temperature probe stay in the oven when it’s not inserted in food?
A. It shouldn’t. Remove it from the
receptacle when it’s not in use. You could damage the probe by leaving it in the oven during cooking operations that do not require its use.
Q. May I insert the probe into
frozen foods? A. No. It could break. Foods must
be completely defrosted first.

How toBroil in YourDouble Oven
See Broiling Guide on page 18.
Broiling is cooking foods by intense radiant heat from the upper heating unit in the oven. When food is broiled, only one side at a time is exposed to the heating source. Most fish steaks or fillets and tender cuts of meat such as steaks or chops are best when broiled.
You can broil in either oven and you can choose between two convenient broiling methods.
With the first method, you touch the BROIL pad, then the START pad and the oven broils on the fastest rate (HI) automatically.
The second method, or Variable Broil, gives you the option of choosing a lower broil rate (less heat) from LO to 4.
No matter which method you use, the following suggestions apply:
Place meat on the broiler rack
on the broiler pan. Always use the rack so fat drips into the pan.
Place pan in oven on shelf
in position C. If your oven is
connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broil heater and placing the oven
shelf one position higher.
Leave the door ajar a few inches
(except when broiling chicken). The door stays open by itself yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
Turn food only once during
cooking.
Broil Rate Settings

3-Medium . . . . . . . . ..90 % power
2-Medium Low . . . . ..84 % power

How to Set Oven forBroiling
For regular broiling, like you’ve always been used to, do this:
Step 1: Touch the BROIL pad. Display shows “BROIL:’
I
Step 2: Touch the START pad to begin cooking. Oven is automatically set to broil at the high rate, with
100% power.
Step 3: When cooking is done,
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Serve
food immediately. Leave pan outside
oven to cool for easy cleaning.
How to Adjust Oven for a Lower Broil Rate
You can also set your oven to broil at a lower rate from LO
(low) to 4 (medium high). Foods broil slower, and the broil flavor develops over a longer time.
Step 1: Place food in oven on shelf
in C position. Touch the BROIL
pad. Display shows “BROIL:’
Step 2: Touch a number pad–
1 (LO), 2, 3 or 4—for the desired
Broil Rate. Display shows “BROIL”
and the selected code number. Step 3: Touch the START pad to
begin cooking. Step 4: Turn meat over when
recommended broiling time for first side is up.
Step 5: Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to shut broil heater off when cooking is finished.
Use of Aluminum Foil
1. If desired, broiler pan maybe
lined with foil and broiler rack may be covered with foil for broiling. ALWAYSBE CERTAIN IT) MOLD FOIL THOROUGHLY TO BROILER RACK, AND SLIT FOIL TO CONFORM WITH SLITS IN RACK. Broiler rack is designed to minimize smoking and spattering, and to keep drippings cool during broiling. Stopping fat and meat juices from draining to
the broiler pan prevents rack from
serving its purpose, and juices may
become hot enough to catch fire.
2. DO NOT place a sheet of
aluminum foil on shelf. To do so
may result in improperly cooked
foods, damage to oven finish and increase in heat on outside surfaces
of the oven.

Broilingwith the TemperatureProbe
A variety of foods maybe broiled using the temperature probe including steaks, chops, ham steaks and chicken breast fillets. Foods broiled using temperature probe should be approximately 1“ to 1%” thick.
Use hotpads when removing probe after cooking is done. Do not use tongs to pull on it—-they might damage it.
Do not unplug probe from oven receptacle during cooking. Cooking program will be cancelled if you do.

How to
Set Oven for Broiling a Steak Using Temperature Probe
Step 1: Place 1“to 1%” thick steak
on top of rack in broiler pan. Lay probe on top of steak to determine position of probe and distance from edge to center of largest muscle. Mark with thumb where edge of meat or fat meets probe.
Make sure that no more than 2“ of probe, not counting the handle, will stick out of the meat.
Step 2: Lift probe from meat, keeping thumb in place on probe. Insert probe as near as possible to the center of thickness of steak.
Push probe into steak to where thumb meets meat or fat.
Step 3: Place oven shelf in position
Step 4: Touch BROIL pad.
BROIL will appear on display.
Step 5: Touch a number pad—
1 (LO), 2, 3 or 4—for the desired
broil rate. Display shows broil rate
selected.
Step 6: Touch FOOD TEMP pad. Flashing indicator points to FOOD TEMP on display. Use number pads to enter desired finished meat temperature from 90° to 199”F. For example, touch 1, 5, and 5 (155”F.) for steak medium. Probe must be inserted into receptacle or “PROB” will flash on the display.

Rotisserie (upPer Oven)
Food is cooked by revolving on a spit under the (upper) broil unit. As food turns, it bastes itself to produce a succulent brown and tender roast. Meat tender enough for roasting may be rotissed.
$%/
/
‘An
Finish securing food on spit by gliding second 2-pronged fork onto spit with prongs toward food. Tighten screws to a flat surface on spit.
1. Assemble rotisserie. Insert
curved ends of frame into large holes of broiler pan handles. Lock frame in place by fitting straight ends of support into holes in center handles.
2. Secure food on spit. When secured correctly, food will be located in center area of spit leaving 4 inches free at the pointed end (this part goes into motor).
3. To secure food on spit: Push 2-pronged fork onto spit near handle end. Tighten with screw. Push spit through food (tie food securely and compactly), distributing weight evenly on each side of spit.
To check weight distribution on spit, hold spit (and food) between hands, palms up; spit should roll smoothly from palms to fingertips when palms are tipped forward.
4. Place spit on frame so handle end is in narrow support, and pointed end is in wide U-shaped support.
Rotissing the Food
1. Put oven shelf in lowest position
in oven. With food on spit, place spit on oven shelf.
2. The oven temperature is automatically set at 400”F. See approximate rotissing times and meat thermometer temperatures listed in Rotisserie Guide on page 20 to help you get foods juicy and done without overbrowning.
3. Touch ROTISS pad and then START pad. This starts broil unit and rotisserie motor operating. Spit can be inserted and removed more easily when motor is operating. N~E: Make certain when touching spit that no part of body or pot
holder touches coils of broil unit.
4. Insert spit into motor: Grasp handle on spit. Using point of spit, move to one side the cover over motor outlet in rear of oven; push spit firmly into motor outlet as far as it will go. Remove handle,
5. Check rotation of food. Tighten or adjust forks if necessary. During cooking, forks may need tightening due to normal meat shrinkage.
6. As food cooks, leave door ajarin “Broil” position; door stays open by itself.
7. Baste food if desired. With pot holders, pull out pan and shelf together to shelf stop. Attach handle to spit to revolve food by hand while basting. To continue cooking push shelf and broiler pan into oven, insert spit into motor, remove handle.
Rotisserie Notes
Do not use electric meat
thermometer while operating the rotisserie. A regular, nonelectric meat thermometer may be used while rotissing providing it doesn’t touch the oven, frame or pan while meat revolves. (Or, if desired, cook to estimated doneness then pull meat from oven to insert meat thermometer. Wait about 2 minutes for temperature to register. If meat is not done, remove thermometer and continue cooking if necessary.)
If rotissing turkey, let stand in
warm oven 10to 20 minutes after cooking to assure juicy meat and complete doneness.
At end of cooking pull out pan
and shelf together, using pot holders. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad. Remove food from spit. Cool pan outside oven; soak forks and screws for easiest cleanup.

Operating the
Self-Cleaning Double Oven
Note: Upper and Lower Ovens cannot be self-cleaned at the same
time. However, while self-cleaning
one oven you can use the other one for baking or broiling.
Before Setting Oven
Controls, Check These
Things:
Step 1:
Remove broiler pan, broiler rack and other cookware from the oven. (Oven shelves may be left in oven. Note: Shelves wiil discolor after the self-clean cycle.)
Step 2: Wipe up heavy soil on oven bottom.
A. Oven Front Frame B. Oven Door Gasket C. Openings in Door D. Rotisserie Receptacle E. Oven Light
Step 3: Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A) and oven door outside gasket (B) with a dampened cloth. Polish with a dry cloth. Do not clean gasket (B). Do not allow waterto rundown through openings in top of door (C). Never use a commercial oven cleaner in or
around self-cleaning oven. Step 4:

Step 5: Close oven door and make sure oven light (E) is off.
ToSet YourOven for Self-Cleaning
Step 1:
Touch the CLEAN pad. Display shows “CLEAN” and flashing indicator points to DOOR LATCH.
If door is not latched within 15 seconds, display reverts to OFF and you have to start over.
Step 2:
Move door latch all the way to the
right as far as it will go.
To change cleaning time to as little as 1%hours or as much as 4% hours, don’t touch START pad yet.
First, touch BAKE TIME pad.
. Next, touch Number Pads to enter the cleaning time. For example, to enter 2% hours, touch pads 2, 3 and O.
Now touch START to begin
cleaning immediately. Stop Time is calculated and displayed until cleaning ends.
Note: You might smell a slight odor, especially during the first few cleanings. This is normal during the self-cleaning cycle and is no cause for alarm.
When cleaning temperature is reached, the Indicator Light points to OVEN LOCKED and the door
cannot be unlatched.
Step 4: When cleaning is done, the oven turns off automatically. When it
cools down, which takes about 30
minutes, the OVEN LOCKED
light goes out andthe door can be
opened. Unlatch the door by moving
it to the left as far as it will go.
Display shows time of day.
To delay start of cleaning:
(If temperature probe is accidentally left pluged into the oven receptacle,
display shows “PROB” until you
remove it. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad, unlatch door and remove probe. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to reset.)
Step 1:
Touch CLEAN pad and latch door.
Step 3: Touch START to begin cleaning immediately. Cleaning cycle takes three hours and Display Panel shows Stop Time.
21
Step 2:
Then touch STOP TIME pad. Display shows “CLEAN” and flashing ­indicator points to Stop Time.
Step 3: Use number pads to enter desired Stop Time. (You may enter any
time not more than 11hours and 59
minutes and not less than 3 hours from the current time of day.)
Step 4: Touch START pad and the oven calculates the proper Start Time and Stop Time until cleaning begins. Then only Stop Time is shown.
When cleaning is done, the oven turns off automatically. Step 4 on page 21 tells you when and how to open the door.
Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven start cleaning even though I’ve set all the controls correctly?
A. Check to be sure the display shows the correct time of day. Also check to be sure the oven latch is closed securely and you have touched the START pad.
Q. If the display does not show the time of day, can I still self­clean my oven?
A. No. You must set your clock. Time of day must be showing in the display because the clock starts and stops the self-cleaning cycle.
Q. Why can’t I latch the oven door to start the self-clean cycle even though I’ve touched the CLEAN pad?
A. The electronic control will not
let you set up the clean cycle when the oven is hotter than 500”F. Let the oven cool and try again.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. Excessive grease is the cause.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open
windows and doors to rid the room of smoke. Let the oven cool for at least one hour before opening the door. Unlatch door, wipe up excess grease and reset the cleaning cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. Metal heating and cooling during cooking and cleaning functions makes this sound.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?
A. Heating and cooling during
cleaning. It’s common. The hair­like lines don’t affect your oven’s performance.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning? A. Some types of soil leave a
deposit of ash. You can remove it with a damp sponge or cloth.
22
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What’s the matter?
A. After cleaning, oven shelves may be so clean that they will not slide easily. They will again if you dampen your fingertips with a little cooking oil and rub lightly over the sides of the shelf.
Q. My oven shelves became gray after the self-clean cycle. Is this normal?
A. Yes. And after the self-clean cycle, they’ll lose their luster and change to a deeper gray color.
Q. Can I stop an oven cleaning cycle after cleaning has begun?
A. Yes, but you won’t be able to open the door until the oven cools to a safe temperature. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to cancel the cleaning cycle. When Door Locked indicator light goes out, unlatch the door.
Q. If the inside of my oven door is soiled, will it be cleaned during the cleaning cycle?
A. Yes. The raised section of the oven door inside the gasket will be
cleaned automatically. The area outside the oven gasket must be cleaned by hand as described in the Cleaning Guide on page 24.
Q. Why would I want to set my
oven to start cleaning at a later time of day?
A. Some utility companies offer lower rates at times when electrical consumption is lowest. Since these times often occur late at night, you can set your oven before going to bed
so cleaning is done while you sleep. Q. After interrupting the self-
cleaning cycle in the middle, I let the oven cool but still cannot set the self-clean cycle again. Why?
A. Youmust unlatch the door, touch the CLEAN pad, latchthe door and touch the START pad before the self-clean cycle starts again.
Careand Cleaning
(See Cleaning Guide on page 24.)
Proper care and cleaning procedures are essential for a long and satisfactory life for your ovens. Included in this section are directions and a Cleaning Guide (on next page) for cleaning all parts of the ovens. When cleaning an oven manually, wearing of rubber gloves is recommended to protect the hands.
Porcelain Enamel Finish
The porcelain enamel finish is essentially glass fused on steel at high temperature and is breakable if misused. This finish is acid­resistant. However, any acid foods spilled (such as lemon or other citrus fruit juices, or mixtures containing tomato or vinegar) should be wiped up immediately. See guide for cleaning suggestions.
Lamp Replacement
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING ANY LAMP, DISCONNECT ELE~RIC POWER TU OVEN AT THE MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL. LET LAMP (OR BULB) AND LAMP COVER COOL COMPLETELY.
