OVENUSE

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 block or cover the oven bottom vents.

• 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 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain

finish.

RACKS Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks

with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of food

will be centered inthe oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out.

• Place rack in center of oven.

• Place in the bottom third of oven.

• May need to increase baking time.

IMPORTANT: Never light the oven burner during a power failure. Never place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. When using the oven for the first time, it is necessary to turn any one of the surface burners on first to release air from the gas lines.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks" section.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Press BAKE. Press TEMP (A) or (V) to set a temperature other than 350°F

(177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F (77°C) and 500°F (260°C.)

2. Press START/ENTER. The temperature can be changed at any time after this step

by pressing the TEMP (A) or (V) pad. START/ENTER does not need to be pressed again. If baking/roasting while the

Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Preheating After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed

preheat conditioning cycle. The HEAT, BAKE, and ON indicator lights will light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically

selects the conditioning cycle time based on the oven temperature selected. The conditioning cycle time will not

change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. The preheat conditioning cycle is complete and the oven is

ready to use when a 1-second tone sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature is displayed.

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 ten 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.

Ovenproof

glassware,

ceramic glass or ceramic

• Brown, crisp crusts

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the

oven vent.

• May need to reduce baking temperatures 25°F (15°C).

1. Oven Vent

BROILER

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and

oven doors closed.

• Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open.

• Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler door during broiling.

• Do not use broiler drawer for storage.

• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and

smoke.

• 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 prevent 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:

1. Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.

2. Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into the lower part of the broiler pan.

3. Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.

4. Press CUSTOM BROIL. The BROIL indicator light will light up.

5. Press START/ENTER. The ON and HEAT indicator lights will light up. The

temperature setting can be changed at any time during broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set

broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing CUSTOM BROIL.

6. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.

To CUSTOM BROIL: Changing the temperature while 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. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling

temperature can be lowered by pressing the TEMP (V) pad.

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press the TEMP (A) or (V) pads to set atemperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C).

3. Press START/ENTER.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished custom broiling.

BROILING CHART

For best results, broiler pan should be rotated the same time the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

The electronic MEALTIMER TM control (on some models) allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start

should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

To Set a Cook Time (on some models):

1. Place the oven racks where needed and place food on the appropriate rack. (See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.)

2. Press BAKE. The BAKE indicator light will light up.

3. Set the temperature (optional). Press the TEMP (A) or (V) pads to raise or lower the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments from the default setting of 350°F (177°C).

4. Press COOK TIME. The COOK TIME indicator light will light up.

5. Set the cook time. Press the (A) or (V) pads until the correct cook time shows

on the display.

6. Press START/ENTER. Temperature or time settings can be changed at any time

after this step, by repeating steps 3 or 5. The display will show the baking/roasting countdown time in

hours and minutes, or in minutes and seconds, depending on the length of the cook time.

The MEALTIMER control setting may be cancelled, and the oven turned off at any time by pressing OFF/CANCEL.

7. When baking/roasting is complete, the oven will automatically turn itself off, and 4 one-second tones will sound.
