WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating of the oven.
WARNING
Do not use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of
these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage
the porcelain finishes.
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.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time
baking:
• Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to
start, such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards,
fish, pork, poultry, or foods with stuffing.
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very
cold or frozen before it is placed in the oven.
• Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when
automatic time baking. They will not rise properly.
• Do not allow food to remain in the oven for more than two
hours after the end of the cooking cycle.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food
to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

Read before operating your oven.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
This is based on safety considerations.
• Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance
must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed
by an authorized service agency.
• Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the oven is in
use. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children over the
unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not hang on door or allow children to swing on doors.
• GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do
not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished
with baking soda or, if available, multipurpose dry chemical or foam
type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not
allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers
immediately.
• Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using
the appliance. Do not drape towels or materials on oven door
handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Keep area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids. Never use your oven as a storage space.
Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items
may become hot and cause burns.

• Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure
may cause the container to explode and result in injury.
• Always position 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.
• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the
front of the oven and vents into the room.
• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to clean
other parts. A fan noise should be heard during the cleaning
cycle. If not, call service before self-cleaning again.
• 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, such as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

Oven Settings and Functions
Temperature Control
Each oven has a separate temperature control dial and
a separate oven function selector. The controls can be
set at any temperature from 200° F (93.3° C ) to 550° F
(287.8° C). There are separate settings for broiling and
self-cleaning. Always be sure the controls are in the OFF
position when
the ovens are not in use.
Interior Oven Light Control
The upper and lower ovens have interior oven lights that
are controlled by one switch on the control panel. Push
the switch to turn the interior oven lights on and off.
Two-Element Bake
Full power heat is
radiated from the bake
element in the bottom
of the oven cavity and
supplemental heat is
radiated from the broil
element. This function
is recommended for
single rack baking.
Many cookbooks
contain recipes to be
cooked in the
conventional manner.
Conventional baking/
roasting is particularly
suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this
setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

The rear element only
operates at full
power. There is no
direct heat from the
bottom or top
elements. The
motorized fan in the
rear of the oven
circulates air in the
oven cavity for even
heating. Use this
setting for foods that
require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick
breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come
out evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is
required. Use this function for single rack baking, multiple rack
baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is
also recommended when baking large quantities of baked goods at
one time.

Convection Bake
The bottom element
operates at full
power, and the top
broil element
operates at
supplemental power.
The heated air is
circulated by the
motorized fan in the
rear of the oven
providing a more
even heat
distribution. This even
circulation of air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven
cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional
ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare
food in quantity using multiple racks – a feature not possible in a
standard oven. When roasting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing
meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on
the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can
be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer,
even when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat.
The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen
food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.
