How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove packaging tape
adhesive on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid
dishwashing detergent, mineral oil
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on the oven parts. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.
Write down the model and
serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a label on the front of the
oven behind the oven door.
These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your
oven. Before sending in this card, please write these
numbers here:
Model Number
Serial Number
Use these numbers in any correspondence or service
calls concerning your oven.
If you received a damaged oven...
Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that
sold you the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
● The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
● The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
● Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
● Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
● Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician 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 guide. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
● Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
● Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is
firm[y attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
● 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 sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
● Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door. They could damage the oven or cause
severe personal injury.
● CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE AN OVEN. CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INmRED.
● Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
● Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
● Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch the hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.
● Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
● Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
● Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the oven.
● Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your oven.
● For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
● Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
● Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven.
(c[~ntinued next page)

WORTANT SAFETY ~STRUCTIONS
(condnued)
● Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a dry multi-purpose chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
● Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the oven.
● Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of oven. These surfaces maybe
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 the
areas nearby or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices
around the oven door,
the edges of the door
window and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
Q When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
● Stand away from the oven when opening the
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face
antior eyes,
● Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
&

unobstructed.
● Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
. Place the oven shelf in desired position while
the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holders contact the
heating elements.
4
● Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
● When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
● Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
● Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
● Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom, except as suggested in this guide.
Improper installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
● After brotiing, always take the broiler pan out of
the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
can catch fire next time you use the pan.
● Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
● 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.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
Q Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
● Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care
Guide.
● Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
the self-cleaning operation.
● If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply,

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly. Read over the directions
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to
use them.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
NOTE:
● You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the
first few times you turn your oven on. This is
normal in a new oven and
will disappear in a short
time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for
a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
● A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when you are removing food
from them or placing food on them.
When placing the cookware on a shelf, pull the
shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place
the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the
hot oven.
To remove the shelves
from the oven, pull them
toward you, tilt the front
end upward and pull the
shelf out.
To replace, place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the
stop-
locks (curved extension
of the shel~ facing up and toward the rear of the
oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the
back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the
shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and
push it
all the way back.
Shelf Positions
The oven has 4 shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf
or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place-most foods in the middle of the oven, on
either shelf position B or C. See the chart for
su&gested shelf positions.

from escaping.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies,
● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in
a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by
25°F.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow
1- to 1 k-inch space between pans as
well as from the back of the oven, the door and the
sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a
shelf with a cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies

used is the one recommended.
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.

ADJUST T~ OVEN T~WOSTAT—
DO IT YOURSELF!
w
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven it too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the temperature yourself. If you
think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it
cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat
to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary
2040 degrees.
To Adjust the Temperature:
NOTE: The thermostats in the upper and lower
ovens need to be adjusted separately.

the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The time
display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily

the
foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
The oven has a probe in the upper oven only.
A temperature probe has been provided for use in
your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand
high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with
other products, such as those used for microwave
ovens, may not be designed to withstand high
temperatures. Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-
cleaning cycle.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one
end and a plug at the other end that goes into a
receptacle on the oven wall.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting
and removing from meat and wall receptacle. Do not
use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the
probe—they might damage it. TO AVOID
BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE SURE FOOD IS
COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEFORE
(appearance may vary)
Handles
After preparing the meat and placing it on a roasting
pan rack, follow these steps for proper probe
placement.
1. Lay the

NOTE:
● If the probe is removed from the food before the
final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and
the display will flash until the probe is removed
from the oven.
● You will not be able to use the probe in the upper
oven during timed oven operations. This is because
with the probe you are cooking by temperature
rather than time.
● You can use the timer even though you cannot use
timed oven operations.
● A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second
side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1.
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about I/8” thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf
position
as suggested in the Broiling Guide.
Most broiling is done on C position, but if your
oven is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to
