IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETY INFORMATION
■Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be
transferred to a qualified technician.
■Before performing any service, disconnect the
power supply at the household distribution panel
by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit
breaker.
■Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where
an appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
■CAUTION:Do not store items of
interest to children in cabinets above an oven
- children climbing on the oven to reach items
could be seriously injured.
■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of pot holders.
■Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
■Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around
the oven door.
■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and a shock or fire hazard.
■Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass
breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken
glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
■Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to
at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire,
electrical shock, serious injury or death.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not store or use flammable materials in or near
an oven, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.
■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease
in the oven or near the oven may ignite.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan.
■If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
■Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
■
Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
■When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks
or the extension rack to its fully open position is
a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■Do not leave items such as paper, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and a shock or fire hazard.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the
oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.
■Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean
operation. Keep children away from the oven
during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause burns.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny
silver colored oven racks (on some models), the
probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan,
grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated
oven racks may be left in the oven.
■Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive
amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke
damage to your home.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
■Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven.

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack
positions for various types of foods are provided in the
Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to
impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer
darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving
food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too
brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,
ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow
air to flow.
Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out
to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.
To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks)
onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and
push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, aluminum foil, pizza or baking stones or any other items
on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may
cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the
oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not
covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls
to prevent poor heat circulation.
Cookware
Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking
performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Oven Racks

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally
recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake 1 Rack
The Convection Bake 1 Rack mode is intended for
single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the
lower element and also the upper and rear elements,
along with air movement from the convection fan to
enhance evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the
temperature when using this mode. To use this mode
press the Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) once, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended
for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This
mode uses heat primarily from the rear element but
also heat from the upper and lower elements, along
with air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the
temperature when using this mode. Baking time might
be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be
expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the
Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) pad twice, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when
using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses heat
from the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air
movement from the convection fan to improve browning
and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to convert
temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested
time when using this mode or use a meat probe. To use
this mode press the Convection Roast pad, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. For best performance center food below the broil
heating element. Broiling on rack position 6 is not
recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from
the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner
cuts of meat and/ or foods you prefer less done on the
interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from
the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also
producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts
of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the
way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice
and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and
proofing) bread doughs. Press the Proof pad and then
press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out.
Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3
hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then press
Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not
cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required.
Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping
crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that
food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Control Panel
Flat Racks
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
Flat racks can be left in the cavity during self-clean
(if enameled racks, not shiny) or can be washed with
warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Oven Exterior
Oven Interior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.
Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water
solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.
Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water
and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils
from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of
the oven. Close the door. Press the Clean pad twice
and then press Start. The oven door will lock. You can
not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean as
this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the
end of the steam clean cycle the door will unlock. Wipe
out any excess water and any remaining soil.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and
soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other
than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks
and any cookware or other items should all be removed
from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close
the door. Press the Clean pad once and a default self-
clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed
to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the
number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start.
For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time
is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press
the Start pad immediately after pressing the Clean pad.
The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean
cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven
has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe
any ash out of the oven.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the
Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of
this manual.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven
doesn't cook
like my old one.
Is something
wrong with the
temperature
settings?
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore may
cook differently than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times
and temperatures carefully. If you still think your
new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking
preference. NOTE: This adjustment affects Bake,
Convection Bake 1 Rack and Convection Bake
Multi temperatures; it will not affect Convection
Roast, Broil or Clean.
Food does not
bake properly Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking
Guide.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper
size being used. See the Cookware section.
Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section.
Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe
outcome.
Food does not broil
properly Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.
Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.
Food being cooked in a hot pan. Make sure cookware is cool.
Cookware not suited for broiling. Use a pan specifically designed for broiling.
Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and
grid has not been fitted properly and slit as
recommended.
If using aluminum foil conform to pan slits.
In some areas the power (voltage) may be low. Preheat the broil element for 10 minutes.
Oven temperature
too hot or too cold Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section.
Oven does not
work or appears
not to work
A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Oven controls improperly set. See the Using the Oven section.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See
the Special Features section.
“Crackling” or
“popping” sound This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
This is normal.
Why is my range
making a "clicking"
noise when using
my oven?
Your range has been designed to maintain a
tighter control over your oven's temperature.
You may hear your oven's heating elements
"click" on and off more frequently than in older
ovens to achieve better results during baking,
broiling, convection, and self-clean cycles.
This is normal.
Clock and timer do
not work A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Oven light does not
work Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.
Pad operating light is broken. Call for service.
Oven will not self-
clean The temperature is too high to set a self- clean operation. Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Excessive smoking
during clean cycle Excessive soil or grease. Press the Cancel/Off pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the LOCKED light goes
off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Excessive smoking
during broiling Food too close to burner element. Lower the rack position of the food.
Oven door will not
open after a clean cycle Oven too hot. Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
Oven not clean after a
clean cycle Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean
again or for a longer period of time.
"LOCK DOOR" flashes
in the display The self-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not closed. Close the oven door.
LOCKED light is on
when you want to cook The oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven
has not dropped below the locking
temperature.
Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool.
“F— and a number
or letter” flash in the
display
You have a function error code. Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for
one hour. Put the oven back into operation.
If the function code repeats. Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30
seconds and then reconnect power. If the function
error code repeats, call for service.
Display goes blank A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
The clock is turned off. See the Special features section.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode.
See the Special Features section.
Power outage, clock
flashes Power outage or surge Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the
clock and resetting any cooking function.
“Burning” or “oily” odor
emitting from the vent
This is normal in a new oven and will
disappear in time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven
section.
Strong odor An odor from the insulation around
the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used.
This is temporary and will go away after several uses
or a self-clean cycle.
Fan noise
A cooling fan may automatically turn on. This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on to cool
internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after
the oven is turned off.
My oven door glass
appears to be "tinted"
or have a "rainbow"
color. Is this defective?
No. The inner oven glass is coated with
a heat barrier to reflect the heat back
into the oven to prevent heat loss and
keep the outer door cool while baking.
This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may
see this tint or rainbow color.
Sometimes the oven
takes longer to preheat
to the same temperature
Cookware or food in oven The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven
to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce
preheat time.
Number of racks in oven Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to
take longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
Different cooking modes The different cooking modes use different preheat
methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking
mode. Some modes will take longer than others
(i.e. convection bake multi).
