OVEN USE

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

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 wellventilated room.

AluminumFoil

IMPORTANT: This oven uses a hidden bake element under the oven liner. To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware.

■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.

PositioningRacksandBakeware

IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain finish.

Rack position 5 cannot be used on this model.

RACKS

NOTES:

■Position racks before turning the oven on.

■Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

■Make sure racks are level.

MeatThermometer

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.

OvenVent

C

A.Upper oven

B.Oven vent

C.Lower 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.

BakingandRoasting

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

(on some models)

The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to help 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.

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 it is recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1.Press BAKE.

Press TEMP “plus” (+) or “minus” (-) keypads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2.Press START.

The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does not need to be pressed again.

3.Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.

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 into the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

BroilingandCustomBroiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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.

■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.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

To Broil:

1.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2.Press START.

3.Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.

To Custom Broil:

1.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2.Press TEMP “plus” (+) or “minus” (-) keypads to change the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The broil range can be set between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 260°C).

3.Press START.

4.Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.

OVEN CARE

Self-CleaningCycle(onsomemodels)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

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

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours

30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in the glass breaking.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

On combination oven models, the upper oven will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

On double oven models only, be sure to set the correct controls for the oven (upper or lower) you want to use.

To Self-Clean:

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1.Press AUTO CLEAN.

2.Press the HOUR “+” or “-” keypads to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.

Prepare Oven:

■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.

■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.

■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

3.Press START.

The oven door will automatically lock, and “LOCKED” will appear on the oven display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools.

When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will appear on the oven display, and “LOCKED” will disappear.

4.Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/ CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1.Press AUTO CLEAN.

Press the HOUR “+” or “-” keypad to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.
