Important Safety Instructions
To
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using
the oven.
2. Install or locate the oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer.
The oven must be properly
connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
4. Do not use the oven for warming
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could
start.
5. Use the oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
6. Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
heating element and you could be
burned.
7. 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, the oven door and the
oven door window.
8. 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
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
9. Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
mlury.
10. Grease is flammable and should be
or
handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it.
11. Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside
of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
12. Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
13. Always position oven rack(s) 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.
14. Do not store flammable materials
in or near the oven. They could
explode or burn.
15. Do not store things children might
want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
16. Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
oven is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the oven. They could be
burned or injured.
17. Keep oven vents unobstructed.
18. Clean your oven regularly. See
care and cleaning instructions in
this manual.
19. Be sure all oven parts are cool
before cleaning.
20. Do not clean door seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the seal. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
21. Do not use oven cleaners on the
single/upper oven. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around
any part of the single/upper
oven.
22. Before self-cleaning the single/
upper oven, remove broiler pan,
broiler grid, oven racks and other
utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts.
23. Do not repair or replace any part
of the oven unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
24. Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the oven.

Using Your Oven
The electronic oven controls
There are three parts in the oven control
section:
- The digital display.
- The command buttons.
- The Time/Temp Set Knob.
Instructions for each oven control are
covered on the following pages. Read
them carefully.
When you first plug in the oven, the
display will flash the last time of day set.
If, after you set the clock (see below) the
display again flashes the last time of day
set, your electricity was off for a while.
Reset the clock.
Digital display/clock
When you are not using the oven, this is
an accurate digital clock. When using
the oven or Minute Timer, the display
will show the time, temperature settings
and what command buttons have been
pressed.
When showing the time of day, the
display will show the hour and minutes
When setting the Mmute Timer, the
display will show minutes and seconds
as follows :
. For settings from 0 minutes to 1
minute 55 seconds, the display will
increase in 5second increments.
1 For settings from 2 minutes to 9
minutes 50 seconds, the display will
increase in lo-second increments.
1 For settings from lo-59 minutes, the
display will increase in 1 minute
increments.
. For settings from 1 hour to 1 hour
55 minutes, the display will
increase in 5-minute increments.
1 For settings from 2 hours to 9 hours
50 minutes, the display will
increase in lo-minute increments.
When using Cook Time, the display
shows hours and minutes.
Command buttons
The command buttons tell the oven what
to do and in what order. A few
examples:
- Clock tells the oven you are going to
set the clock.
- Set/Cancel tells the oven to turn off.
Each command button (except Set/
Cancel) has its own indicator. The
indicator comes on when you touch the
command buttons.
Time/Temp Set Knob
Once you’ve pushed a command button
to tell the oven what you want it to do,
you’ll use the Time/Temp Set Knob to set
a temperature or time. Turning the
Time/Temp Set Knob clockwise
increases the number on the display.
Turning the Time/Temp Set Knob
counterclockwise decreases the number
on the display.
Setting the electronic clock
1. Push the Clock button. The TIME
indicator will show in the display.
2. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until
the correct time shows m the large
display.
3. Push the Set/Cancel button to start
clock operation.
Using the electronic Minute Timer
The Minute Timer does not start or stop
the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. It
can be set in minutes and seconds or
hours and minutes up to 9 hours, 50
minutes. You will hear three beeps when
the set time is up.
Push the Timer button. The TIMER
indicator will come on and the large
display will show “ : 00”.
Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until
the desired time shows in the large
display. The Minute Timer will
begin counting down 2 seconds
after the time is set.
When time is up, you will hear
three beeps and the time of day
will show in the large display. After
the first three beeps, you will hear
one beep every 10 seconds until
you push the Set/Cancel button.
To cancel the Minute Timer:
1 Push the Timer button and turn the
Time/Temp Set Knob until ” : 00”
shows in the large display.
. Do not push the Set/Cancel button
(see below) or it will cancel any
bake or broil program that has been
set.
Using the Set/Cancel button
The Set/Cancel button will cancel any
command except for times set with the
Timer button. When the Set/Cancel
button is pushed, the large display will
show the time of day or, if Minute Timer
is also being used, the time remaining.

The lower oven control (for
double ovens)
The lower oven can be used for baking,
roasting and broiling. It is controlled by a
single Temperature Control, with
settings from 150°F (warm) to BROIL

For best results, preheat the oven until
the Oven ON Signal Light goes out,
unless the recipe states otherwise. Set

In lower oven, exercise care in turning
the Temperature Control so you do not
go past the desired set point. If you
accidentally go past the desired setting,
turn the dial fully counterclockwise and
then reset to the desired setting to get
an accurate temperature setting. The
Oven ON Signal Light will go out when
the desired temperature has been
reached and will cycle on and off with
the elements during the heating period.

increments, starting at loo”, while the
oven is preheating.
