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

DANGER

WARNING

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

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You 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.

Aluminum Foil

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 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 ½" (1.3 cm) 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 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.

Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer.

Oven Vent

Single Oven

A. Control panel B. Oven vent C. Oven

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Double Oven

D. Upper oven

E. Oven vent F. Lower oven

Baking and Roasting

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 is closed.

To B ak e o r R oa st :

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.

4. Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or

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.

system electronically regulates the oven heat

Broiling and Custom Broiling

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.

4. Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or

OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

To Custom Broil:

When custom broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. 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.

5. 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.
