Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating elements. Do not use atowel
or abulky cloth for apotholder. It could catch fire.
Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short atime as possible before and after
cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take
particular care during warm weather.
Always keep oven vents unobstructed.
Caution. Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven's cooling
system.
Do not place aluminum foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven foot during cooking, as this
will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel

Safety and warnings
Placement of oven racks (shelves): always position racks (shelves) in the desired location while
the oven is cool (before preheating). If arack (shelf) must be removed while the oven is hot, do
not let the oven mitts or pothoMer contact hot heating elements in the oven or the base of the
oven.
Do not clean the door seal or cavity seals (gaskets) or use any oven=cleaning products on them.
They are essential for agood seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move them.
Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No commercial
oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
Before starting a self-clean cycle, remove oven shelves/racks, side racks/shelf supports, broiler
pan and aft other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
During aself-clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under
such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.
Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.
Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you receive a
damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer's instructions.
The CMifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm. Smafl amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in the
oven's self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these
substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm. Venting with ahood or open window, and
wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

Oven Functions
BAKING
TRUE AERO: fan plus fan element
A concealed heating element surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air,
which is then blown into the cavity.The consistent temperature ensures baking is
well risen and evenly colored. Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the
middle, meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining
juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and
efficient. TRUE AERO is the function to choose for multi-shelf cooking and complete
oven meals. TRUE AERO is excellent for baking angel food cake.
AERO BAKE: fan plus upper and lower elements
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower concealed
elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using the AERO
BAKEfunction tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional
BAKEfunction. Use AERO BAKE at a low temperature -125 °F (50°C) - for drying fruit,
vegetables and herbs.
BAKE: upper and lower elements
Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. BAKE is the
traditional baking function, ideal for cakes, if baking on two shelves, arrange dishes
so no item is directly over another. BAKE is ideal for foods that require baking for a
long time or at low temperatures, like meringues and rich fruitcakes.
AERO PASTRY: fan plus lower element
The fan circulates heat from the lower concealed element throughout the oven.
Excellent for sweet and savory pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and
cookies that you want extra chewy.
PASTRY BAKE: lower element
Heat comes from the lower element only. This is a traditional baking function,
suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best results, bake on
only one shelf at a time. [t is perfect for foods that require delicate baking and have
a pastry base, [[ke custard tarts, pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does
not require direct heat and browning on the top.
ROASTING
ROAST
This is a two-step program. The oven does not require preheating. An initial 20-
minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and caramelizes the juices on the
outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for
the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that Jsfuji
of flavor. This function is also great for cooking vegetables. Little browning takes
place after the initial searing.

BROILING
BROIL: upper inner element
BROIL delivers intense heat from the inner region of the top element. Great when
you need to quickly broil one to two portions of your usual favorites, like crispy
chicken breasts or a steak.
MAXI BROIL: upper inner and outer elements
MAXI BROIL delivers intense heat from the entire top element. It is the most
suitable function for'finishing off' many meals, for example browning the top of
potato gratin and frittata. Use MAXI BROIL to toast bread or to broil your favorite
chicken, fish and steak.
AERO BROIL: fan plus upper inner and outer elements
AERO BROIL produces food with a finish that is similar to a rotisserie. Meat, poultry
and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside while
the inside remains moist and tender. Try using this function for whole chicken or
tenderloin of beef.
WARM
WARM is a constant low heat of 165°F (75°C). Use it to keep cooked food hot, orto
warm plates and serving dishes.To reheat food from cold, useTRUE AERO and
change to WARM only when the food is piping hot, as this function will not bring
cold food up to a temperature high enough to kill any harmful bacteria.
SELF CLEAN
This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle that takes care of the mess and
grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-cleaning, the
oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and breaks down soil and
grease deposits. A smoke eliminator and active venting system eradicates odor. For
instructions on how to use SELF CLEAN, see the 'Care and cleaning' section.
Cooling fan
A cooling fan will come on automatically and blow air out below the oven door during the use
of most oven functions. It may continue to run after the oven is turned off to keep the door and
control panel cool.
