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.

849-80677-2
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.
USING THE OVEN: Oven Racks
Oven Racks and Rack Positions
CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, aluminum foil 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.

49-80677-2 9
USING THE OVEN: Cooking Modes / Cookware
Cooking Modes
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.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode
uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from
the upper element to cook food. 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. To use this mode press the Bake pad,
enter a temperature, and then press Start.
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. 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. For best performance center food
below the broil heating element.
Broil Hi
The 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 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.
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.

Cleaning The Oven
CARE AND CLEANING
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 washed with warm, soapy water. Racks may be more difficult to slide with time or after cleaning.
If racks do become more difficult to slide, 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 mode.
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 low cleaning temperature.
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 Steam Clean
pad and then press Start. Do not open the door during
the 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.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
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.
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 and broiling
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.
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.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Oven light does not
work Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.
Excessive smoking
during broiling Food too close to burner element. Lower the rack position of the food.
“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 Oven Controls 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. This is temporary and will go away after several uses.
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.
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.
