Important Safety Instructions
▲ WARNING
' Read all instructions before using the oven.
' 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.
’ Do not operate the oven if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged.
' Do not use the oven for warming or heating the
room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
' Use the oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
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.
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.
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.
Do not heat unopened containers. They could
explode. The hot contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause injury.
Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle
it. Wipe spill-overs immediately.
To reduce the risk of fire, eiectricai shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
' 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 extin
guished with baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
' Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
' 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.
Do not store flammable materials in or near the
oven. They could explode or burn.
' Do not store things children might want above
the oven. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on it.
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.
Keep oven vents unobstructed.
Clean your oven regularly. See care and
cleaning instructions in this manual.
Be sure all oven parts are cool before cleaning.
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.
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 oven.
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.
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.

Using the oven controls
Single/upper oven controls
The single/upper oven can be used for baking,
roasting and broiling. The oven has two controls - a
Selector and a Temperature Control. Both must be
set for the oven to work.
The selector has five settings:
BROIL - The top elements will operate at full power
whenever heating. Use this setting for broiling.
CLEAN - Use this setting for self-cleaning only.
TIMED BAKE - The bottom element and outer top
element operate at full power and glow red
whenever heating. Use this setting for Automatic
Timed Baking.
BAKE - The bottom element and outer top element
operate at full power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for baking, roasting and
casseroles.
OFF - Use this setting to turn the oven off.
upper oven temp
Temperature control:
The Temperature Control can be set at any
temperature from 150°F (warm) to BROIL
(550°F), or to CLEAN. Settings 150°F to 225°F
are suggested for warming and holding foods. Be
sure the Temperature Control is turned to OFF
when the oven is not in use.
Lower oven control (for double ovens)
The lower oven can be used for baking, roasting
and broiling. It is controlled by a single Tempera
ture Control, with settings from 150°F (warm) to
BROIL (550°F). Be sure the Temperature Control
is turned to OFF when the oven is not in use.
NOTE; The lower oven will not operate while the
upper oven is being cleaned.
Rack positions;
There are two racks for the single/upper oven.
One rack is straight and the other is offset. The
offset rack permits intermediate positions for the
placement of food within the oven. The lower
oven has only one flat rack.
Your oven(s) has four rack positions. Rack
position 4 is the highest position, or farthest from
the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the
lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the
oven. Be sure to arrange the oven rack(s) before
putting foods into the oven or turning the oven on.
When baking on two racks, arrange racks on
bottom and third level from bottom.
To remove oven racks;
1. Pull rack out until bar on back of rack touches
first stop.
2. Lift front of rack up until rear position of rack
slides out between the two front stops.

Preheating the oven
For best results when baking, preheat the oven
until the Oven HEATING Indicator Light goes out,
unless the recipe states othen/vise. Set the
Selector to BAKE and the Temperature Control to
the desired temperature.
Use 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 HEATING Indicator Light will go
out when the desired temperature has been
reached and will cycle on and off with the elements
during the heating period.
Be sure the Selector is turned to OFF and the
Temperature Control is turned to OFF when the
oven is not in use.

the sides of the pan and the oven walls and
other pans.
2. Set the Upper Oven Selector to BAKE.
