It is full of valuable information about how to operate and maintain your appliance properly and safely. Please read it carefully.

Also, please complete and mail the Ownership Product Registration Card (U.S.A. or Canadian, whichever applies to you) provided with your appliance. This will help us notify you about any new information on your appliance.

Please record your model’s information.

Whenever you call to request service for your appliance, you need to know your complete model number and serial number. You can find this information on the model and serial number plate (see diagram on page 6 for location of plate).

Oven Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the use of the symbol.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This symbol alerts you to such dangers as fire, electrical shock, burns, and oersonal iniurv.

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.

GAUTION: 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.

ADO not operate the oven if it is

damaged or not working properly.

*Do not use the oven for warming

or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a

fire could start.

aUse 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 mate-

rials 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, and 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 pot holders. Moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth for a pot

holder. It could catch on fire.

@Keep oven vents unobstructed.

ADO not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause

injury.

@Use only utensils approved for

oven use. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or plastic

utensils.

@Do not store flammable materials

on or near the oven. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.

@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.

@Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the oven.

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 pot

holder contact hot heating element in oven.

4Jse care when opening oven door.

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

@Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition.

Significant exposure to these

substances can cause cancer or

reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a

hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to selfcleaning.

*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.

aBefore self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other utensils.

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.

.Do not clean door seal. It is essen-

tial 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.

Using Your Oven

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your oven properly. This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your oven.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack,

the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD RACK POSITION

Frozen pies, large Lowest level or roasts, turkeys, angel 2nd level from

food cakes bottom

Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast bottom breads, casseroles,

meats Cookies, biscuits,

muff ins, cakes, from bottom nonfrozen pies

When baking on two racks,

on second and fourth level from bottom.

For recommended rack placement

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 pot holders or oven mitts to protect hands.

l Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch

heating elements.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could result in personal injury.

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

Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could result in fire or electrical shock hazard and damage to the elements.

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles:

the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food.
