With minimal care, as outlined in this guide, this product is designed to provide you with years of dependable service. Please take the few minutes necessary to learn the proper and efficient use and care of this quality product.

Some of the key features of this appliance include:

•Split baking and broiling elements – which reduces preheating time and provides greater control and more even heating.

•A reversing fan which is 2 times larger than most on the market – this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly – even when baking large quantities.

•Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten cooking times and cook foods more evenly.

•Dual broiling elements producing intense radiant heat for faster broiling and a larger coverage area.

•Three broiling modes including a new low-broil mode for delicate broiling and top-browning.

•A lighting system which provides more light with less glare.

•A profiled, hidden bake element for easier cleaning.

•Six adjustable rack positions with the largest usable baking space available in this class.

Warnings

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.

Important Safety Instructions

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.

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities are different or are reduced, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training for the operation of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be monitored to ensure that they do not utilize devices as a toy

•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.

•WARNING: French Door Models - DO NOT operate without control knobs in proper place. With the knobs removed, the LED lights surrounding the knobs are visible and may cause permanent damage to the eyes.

•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.

TruConvec™

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.
