9. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause

the container to explode and result in injury.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the front

of the oven and vents into the room.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven

racks, rack supports, 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.

16. 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.

For "slow" broiling, allow about 4 inches between
the top surface of the food and the broil element.
"Slow" broiling is best for chicken and ham in

CCoonnvveeccttiioonn BBrrooiill

order to broil food without over-browning it.

((uuppppeerr oovveenn oonnllyy))

Exactly the same as regular broiling with
additional benefit of air circulation by the
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The cool air
is quickly replaced-improving the already high
performance of the broil element. Especially
useful for broiling thick cuts of meat.

With the selector set to convection cook and the
temperature control on 150 F, warm air is
circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the
oven. Over a period of time, the water is
removed from the food by evaporation. Removal
of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and
retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to
remember that dehydration does not improve the
quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be
used.

With the selector set to convection cook and the
temperature control off, air is circulated by a
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without
heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do not
allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for
more than two hours.

This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle.
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated
temperatures in order to burn off soils and deposits.
An integral smoke eliminator reduces odors
associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash
residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle. When the oven
has cooled, remove any ash from oven surfaces with
a damp sponge or cloth.

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 and roasting.

Exactly the same as regular baking with the
additional benefit of air circulation. The heated air
is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the
oven. It provides more even heat distribution
throughout the oven cavity for all uses. Multiple
rack use is possible for the largest baking jobs.
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.

The rear element only operates at full power.
There is no direct heat from the bottom or top
elements. Air in the oven cavity is circulated by
the fan for even heating. Use this setting for
foods which require gentle cooking such as
pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads and
cakes. Use this function for single rack baking,
multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of
complete meals.

In Maxi-Broil heat is radiated from both broil
elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at
full power. Broiling speed is determined by the
distance between the foods and the broil
elements. For "fast" broiling, food may be as
close as 2 inches to the broil element or on the
top rack. "Fast" broiling is best for meats where
"rare to medium" doneness is desired. The Mini­Broil setting is designed for "slow" broiling. Only
the center broil element operates for partial
power.

The time-of-day can be changed by following steps 1 through 3. It cannot
be changed while there is a Bake Hours or Start Time cycle programmed
into the timer.

SSeettttiinngg tthhee MMIINN//SSEECC TTiimmeerr

The MIN/SEC Timer is designed for accurate timing and is ideal for baking
delicate items such as biscuits, cookies, and popovers, and for precise
broiling. The MIN/SEC timer can be used at the same time the Bake Hours
or Start Time functions are in use. It can be used for timing up to 24 hours.
When setting the Timer, the time displayed will increase in 1 minute
increments. When the Timer counts down to 1 minute, the timer alarm will
give two short beeps and the display changes from hours:minutes to
seconds only.

TToo pprrooggrraamm tthhee MMIINN//SSEECC TTiimmeerr

1. Press the MIN/SEC Timer button. The timer will display :00 and the
word timer will be displayed in the lower right corner.

2. Turn the Set Knob until the desired duration time is displayed.

The Timer is now programmed. The alarm will sound at the end of the
countdown. The program can be canceled anytime by setting the
remaining time to :00. To change back to the time-of-day, press the
CLOCK button. Notice that a small clock will be displayed in the upper
right corner to indicate that a program is in progress. The display will return
automatically to the MIN/SEC Timer after a few seconds.

TTiimmeerr AAllaarrmm

At the end of a MIN/SEC Timer program or Bake Hours program, the alarm
will consist of three beeps followed by two beeps every 10 seconds until
the MIN/SEC Timer button is pressed. Whenever a valid function key is
pressed or when a control function starts automatically, one beep will be
sounded. When an invalid function key is pressed, two beeps will be
sounded.

The Electronic Timing Center is used to program and control all timing
functions. Depending on the model, your unit will have a digital display or
an analog clock with digital display. If your unit has an analog clock, refer to
pages 13-16.

It has five display and programming modes that are activated by the four
push buttons and the Set Knob. Both the Bake Hours mode and the
MIN/SEC Timer mode can be used to time cooking periods. These
features can even be used at the same time when both ovens are in use.
However, only Bake Hours and Self-Cleaning modes shut the oven off
automatically when the timed program is over. For example, you can time
bake a casserole in the upper oven using the Bake Hours mode, while
broiling in the lower oven using the MIN/SEC Timer. One oven can also be
cleaned while timing foods in the other oven using the MIN/SEC Timer.

The time-of-day must be set before any other program can be used. When
your oven is first connected to the power in your home, the timer display
will show --:--. To program the time-of-day:

1. Press the CLOCK button. 12:00 will be displayed with the word set in
the upper right corner.

2. Turn the Set Knob until the correct time-of-day is displayed. AM and PM

5. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature.

When the specified start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn
on. The oven then bakes for the length of time programmed into the Bake
Hours mode, turn the oven off, and sounds the alarm. Setting the
remaining duration time to :00 cancels the automatic bake program.
