product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from
packaging tape 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 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.

Baking Pans Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
● Dark, roLlgh or du]l 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 bakin&

to prevent overbrowning.
For
e~en 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
mllcll 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 I Yj-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
(continued)
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.

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 THE OVEN THEWOSTAT—
DO ZT YOURSELF!
You may find 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 is 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.
n
1. Press the BAKE pad for the oven

hold 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 (+) 35°F. hotter or (–) 35°F. cooler.

-
o
5. When you have made the adjustment,
CLEAR
press the CLEAWOFF pad to go back to
OFF
the time of day display. Use your oven as
you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or
the self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in
memory after a power failure.

ROASTING
NOTE: The oven has controls for the upper oven and the lower oven.
Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the left side of the panel are
for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel are for the lower
oven. The TIMER ON/OFF, COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE
and DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be
low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly. ) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. The standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to
IO°F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if
desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to
IO°F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
1. Place the shelf
in A or B position.
No preheating is
necessarv.
2. Check the weight of
the meat. Place it
fat side up (or for
poultry breast-side-
up) on a roasting
b
grid in a shallow
pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select
a
pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)
NOTE: 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.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.

ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See the Ro~\tmg Guide
w
rrect 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
INSERTING.

,
with the probe you are cooking by temperature
rather than time.
● You can use the timer even though you cannot use

~~estions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a
meat thermometer?
A.
Checking the finished internal temperature at the
completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.
For roasts over 8 lbs. check with thermometer at
half-hour intervals after half the cooking time
has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
A.
Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a
roast or poultry?
A.
It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
Q.
When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes.
Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when
roasting a turkey?
A.
Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
the meat.

NOTE: The oven has controls for the upper oven
and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct
control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for
the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel
are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and
DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.
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 1/8” thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan
Always use the grid 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
use a higher position.
4. Leave the door open
to the broil stop
position. The door
stays open by itself,
yet
the proper
temperature is
maintained in the oven.
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from
the upper broil element in the oven. You can broil in
upper or lower oven. Most fish and tender cuts of
meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep
spattering and smoking
to a minimum.
Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling.
Time the 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.
NOTE: 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.
