OVEN SAFETY

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.

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 oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

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 position racks with bakeware on them. ■■ Make sure racks are level.

■■ Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations and charts as a guide for positioning racks.

Rack Positions

Broiling

	Food	Rack Position

	Broiled meats, poultry, fish	6

	Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks	6
	Baking

	Food	Rack Position
	Large roasts, roasted meats or poultry	1 or 2

	Most baked goods, casseroles	2 or 3

Baking Layer Cakes on 1 Rack

Place the cakes on the rack as shown.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

Number of Pan(s)	Position on Rack
1	Center of rack

2	Side by side

3 or 4	Refer to the previous illustration

NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark, dull, non-stick or glass pans may require shorter baking times; in contrast insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer

baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.

Oven Vent

A.Control panel

B.Oven vent

C.Oven

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after START/ is pressed. The oven will take approximately 13 to 19 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher

temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature

will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid Preheat

Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.

IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack baking.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking will be. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

■■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.

OVEN CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

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.

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.

■■ Use a damp cloth to 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.

■■ 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.

IMPORTANT:

■■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a clean cycle.

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.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

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

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press

OFF/CANCEL/ . If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked.

When the oven is locked, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when the oven is locked.

Prepare Oven:

■■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

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

NOTE: 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Cleaning can begin.
