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:

General

Read all instructions before using the oven.

Install or locate the oven only

in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The oven must be installed by a qualified installer. The oven must be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

CAUTION: 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.

Do not

operate the oven if it is

damaged or not working prop-

erly.

. Do not use the oven for

warming or heating the room.

Persons could injured, or a

be burned or

fire could start.

. Use the oven only for its

intended use as described

in this manual.

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, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the

vent opening, the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.

.Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the oven. They could ignite if they touch a hot heating element and you could be burned.

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. It could catch on fire.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.

continued on next page

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot con-

tents could cause burns and con-

tainer particles could cause injury.

Do not store flammable materials on or near the oven. The fumes can create an explosion and/or fire

hazard. ’

When using the oven

Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location while oven is cool.

If a rack must be removed while

oven is hot, do not let potholder

contact hot heating element in

oven.

*Use care when opening oven door.

Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Grease @Grease is flammable and should

be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it.

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 foamtype extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners in continuous-cleaning oven model. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Do not clean door heat 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.

Personal Injury Hazard

*Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

l If rack(s) must be moved while oven

is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

l Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

l For best results, allow 1% to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers

from pies or casseroles:

l Place the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the

food.

l Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

l Do not line oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could result in electrical shock or fire hazard

and damage to the elements.

Setting the clock

Push in and turn the Minute Timer Knob to set the clock.

2. Let the Minute Timer Knob pop out. Turn clockwise until Minute Timer hand points to OFF. The clock setting will change if you push in the knob when turning.

Using the Minute Timer

The Minute Timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. Set it in minutes up to an hour. You will hear a buzzer when the set time is up.

NOTE: Do not push in the knob when setting the Minute Timer or when stopping the buzzer. Pushing in and turning the Minute Timer Knob changes the clock setting.

1. Without pushing it in, turn the Minute Timer Knob counterclockwise until the timer hand passes the setting you want.

2. Without pushing it in, turn the knob back to the setting you want. When the time is up, a buzzer will sound. To stop the buzzer, turn the Minute Timer hand to OFF.
