How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface.
Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging
tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and
allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Oven Racks and Rack Positions
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.
A 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

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 25° 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.

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to
the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let
the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your
safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you
do the bulb may break.
To remove:
Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the
tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket.
Remove the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of
the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the
glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE:
A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard
40-watt household bulb.
Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new
bulb is installed.
For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass
cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be
done when the oven is completely cool.
