■ 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 other bulky cloth.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place 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.
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 – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and
windows of
oven doors.
For self-cleaning ovens:
Do Not Clean Gasket – The gasket is essential for a good
■
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the gasket.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner
■
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.

Temperature Calibration
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain
a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect
cycling of the elements and impact the temperature.
The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been
thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster
or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning
differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be
adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
On double ovens, the upper oven and the lower oven can each be
calibrated independently.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be
warmer by the displayed amount.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at
least 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at
the edges.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom.
Racks
■Position racks before turning on the oven.
■Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■Make sure racks are level.
■Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at
least 1/2" (13 mm) between pans and the broil element.

Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting,
it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end
before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom
vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of
fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the
cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.
Preheating and Oven Temperature
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The
actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to
offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food.
This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven,
will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the
preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before
the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The
preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the
oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts
a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: The convection fan and convection element
may operate during the Bake function to enhance performance
and heat distribution.
The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach
350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature,
oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks
can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce
preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set
temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened
to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper
temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
until the tone sounds.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking
or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
Frozen Bake
Frozen BakeTM Technology automatically adjusts the
manufacturer’s bake time by combining preheating and baking to
deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait. There
are multiple preprogrammed food options. The Frozen BakeTM
cycle have been customized to work only with these foods. When
using Frozen BakeTM Technology, it is important that you follow all
manufacturer’s instructions including venting, covering, stirring or
placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking
frozen meals, only cook items that provide instructions for cooking
in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the center of the rack
and select one of the rack positions recommended for Frozen
BakeTM in the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section and
bake only one package or pan at a time. Use the temperature and
maximum bake time from the package.
A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the
cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The
display will prompt you to add additional cook time if needed.

10
Broiling
When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended
otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door
to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place
the food in the lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off
to maintain the proper temperature.
■For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may
be ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section
for more information.
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air
in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps
maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking
foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture
and yielding crustier breads.
During convection cooking, the bake, broil and convection
(true convection only) elements cycle on and off in intervals to
maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan
will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven
door is closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature for a shorter length of time. These adjustments can
be made using the following chart.
SettingGuidelines
Convect Bake
Convect Roast
Convect Broil
Reduce the standard baking temperature
25°F (15°C).
Use standard recipe temperature. Cooking
time may be reduced by 15% to 30%
with Convect Roast so the food should be
checked for doneness early.
Use standard recipe temperature. Cooking
time may be reduced so the food should
be checked for doneness early.
Convert Time/Temp
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of
standard cooking. The Convert Time/Temp convection
feature is a function that converts a standard thermal bake
or roast cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time
and temperature for convection cooking. The displayed time
and temperature will be the converted for convection values.

OVEN CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle
to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Air must be able to move freely. See the “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to
increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven
vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after
the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely
or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is
locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage
to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.
1. Touch the Tools keypad.
2. Select SELF CLEAN.
3. Select type of Self-Cleaning:
Steam: 1 hour: Clean up after everyday light spills using lower
heat and 11/4 cups (295.74 mL) of water.
High temp: 4 hours: 3 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
High temp: 5 hours: 4 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
High temp: 6 hours: 5 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
4. Follow the prompts on the oven display to prepare the oven.
5. Select START to begin the cleaning process.
OR
Select DELAY to set a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle. See the
“To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle” Section.
The oven doors will automatically lock.
NOTE: It may take a couple moments for the oven door to
automatically lock after starting the Self-Clean Cycle.
When the self cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the oven doors will unlock.
6. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
Prepare Oven:
■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high-temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water,
cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to
clean this area.
■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This is normal
and will not affect cooking performance.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for
medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle:
Follow steps 1 through 4 of “To Start Self-Cleaning Cycle,” then:
1. Select DELAY.
2. Select the start time of when the Self-Cleaning cycle should
begin by scrolling from left to right.
3. Select START DELAY.
The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start
countdown.
When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the oven doors will unlock.
4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a
damp cloth.
To Stop Self-Cleaning Anytime:
Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad. If the oven temperature is too
high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven
cools.

Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning on models that have hidden bake in the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C),
the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water.
The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 1 hour. A tone will
sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot,do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad at any time to end the cycle. The
display will return to the time of day.
Helpful Hints
■Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is
completely cooled, remove all remaining water in the bottom
of the oven with a sponge or cloth.
■Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
■Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
■It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use
a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any
mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
■If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Cleaning cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-cleaning.
To Steam Clean:
1. Open the oven door of the selected oven and remove all racks
and accessories from the oven cavity.
2. Pour 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water into the oven
bottom. Then close the oven door.
3. Touch the Tools keypad.
4. Select STEAM CLEAN.
5. Select START.
6. After approximately 1 hour, a tone will sound to signal the
end of the cycle. Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad to clear the
display.
7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove any excess
water with a sponge or cloth and wipe down oven interior.
If needed, use a non-scratch copper scrubbing pad to
remove stubborn soils.

Several cooking cycles between Clean cycles or spills on oven walls and doors: Run additional Clean
cycles. The affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner can be used for stubborn soils. See the “Accessories”
and “Self-Cleaning Cycle” sections for more information.
Warm air coming from the oven vent is normal. During a self-clean cycle, the air stream is increased.
The cooling fan may operate both during an oven’s cycle and after the cycle has ended, causing warm
air to exit from the oven vent.
It is normal for the convection fan and element to operate during Bake mode to enhance performance
and heat distribution.
Not all cycles require preheating. See cycle instructions for preheat recommendations. Most cycles
preheat to 350°F (177°C) in 12 to 17 minutes. Higher temperatures will take more time. Removing
unused oven racks prior to preheating can help reduce preheat time.
