. When cooking with two pans, place

pans in opposite comers of the oven rack.

. When cooking with three or four

pans, place pans in opposite comers on each oven rack. Stagger, so no pan is directly over another.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Rely on your timer, and view food through door window.

Use aluminum foil to catch spill-avers

from pies or casseroles.

Broiling tips

Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to dram

excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or 6re.

. If you broil small quantities, you

may want to use a small broiler pan. They are available in the housewares section of many department stores.

For best broiling results, preheat at BROIL for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broiler pan in place.

. Broiling rack position determines

how the burner cooks your food. The lower the position, the more broiler grid area covered. See

“Broiling next column for more information.

. To sear meat, place broiler pan at

one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the flame.

. Small steaks may be broiled in the

higher rack positions.

. To cook large steaks and other thick

cuts of meat well done, move them to a lower rack position after searing.

. Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable

cookbook for correct broiling times.

. After broiling, remove the broiler

pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if it is left in the heated oven.

Cleaning tips

1. The oven window and racks are not coated. Clean them by hand.

2. The oven door does not get as hot as the walls. Some hand-cleaning may be needed.

3. lf you do more broiling than baking or roasting, hand-cleaning may be needed.

4. Use aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack according to instructions below. Spill-avers may not burn away and could stain the bottom.

Otherwise, put oven racks on second and fourth guides (guides are counted from bottom to top). After racks are cleaned in the SelfCleaning cycle, they become harder to slide. See page 16.

Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

NOTE: This oven is equipped with an internal cooling fan. A fan sound will be heard during a normal Self-Cleaning cycle. This fan comes on automatically to keep the electronic controls cool. Canceling the oven will not turn off this fan. It will continue running until electronic controls have sufficiently cooled. The fan will then automatically turn off.

special tips

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

. Clean the oven before it gets

heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual

. If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not

get the oven as clean as you

expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand-clean areas noted in “Before you start” on this page.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1. Push the Cancel button.

2. When the LOCKED indicator goes off, you can open the oven door.

How it

works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven

gets much hotter than it does for baking,

roasting or broiling . . . approximately

875°F (46S°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.

Cleaning cycle for three hours.
