OVENSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow

basic precautions, including the following: [] Proper Installation - Be sure the oven is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

[] Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room. [] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven.

[] Wear Proper Apparel- Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the oven.

[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the

oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

[] Storage in Oven - Flammable materials should not be

stored in an oven.

[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

[] 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 Door Gasket - The door 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.

[] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual. [] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and

other utensils.

OVENUSE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-

ventilated room.

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the

oven bottom finish.

• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.

• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or

bottom.

RACKS NOTES:

• Position racks before turning on the oven.

• Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

• Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a

guide.

BAKEWARE

Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

L J

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 conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

If the oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the bake and broil elements will turn off immediately. They will come back

on once the door isclosed.

To Bake or Roast:

1. On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

Close oven door. The display will show "door" and the heating elements will not heat if the door is open when baking and roasting.

2. Press BAKE. Press the TEMP "+" or "-" keypads to enter a temperature

other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3. Press START. A preheat time will count down and "PrE" will appear on

the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the timer will continue counting down.The temperature setting can be changed anytime after pressing START.

When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will sound.

Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/ CANCEL when finished cooking.

Preheating

After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. "PrE" and the time countdown will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

A. Broil element B. Bake element

ACCUBAKE Temperature Management System

(on some models) The ACCUBAKE ®system electronically regulates the oven heat

levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically

activated when the oven is in use.

A. Broil element

Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for

Part Number 4396923.

• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.

• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To Broil:

Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.

Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting in food, unless recommended in the recipe.

Close the door.

1. On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

2. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

3. Press START. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display

until the oven is turned off.

Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/ CANCEL when finished cooking.

To Custom Broil:

Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

1. On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

2. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

3. Press the TEMP "+" or "-" keypads to enter a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

4. Press START. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display

until the oven is turned off.

Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/ CANCEL when finished cooking.

BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil

element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1)to the top (5). For diagram, see the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
