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.
c
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 firmly 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,
stind
or hang on
the door. They could damage the oven or cause
severe personal
injur~~.
● 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
INJURED.
● Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
● Never wear
loose-~ltting
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.
c
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 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
yotlr
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
● 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 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 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,
cret’ices
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.
o
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.
&
● Keep the oven vent ducts

unobstructed.
Q
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.
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 broiling, 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
ot’en
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
~~hen
the self-clean cycle is used.
● 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.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

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
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans
will
cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be.
If
baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter
may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
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 may be used to catch a
spillover
by placing it on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do DO NOT open the door to check until the
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently
provide minimum and maximum baking times such during cooking allows heat to escape and makes
as “bake 30-40 minutes.” baking times longer. Your baking results may also
be affected.

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

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
10°F.;
to compensate for temperature rise,
if
desired,
remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to

ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See
the
Roa$tmg
Guide.
k
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
desi&ned
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

Do
not
use tongs to

BRO~ING
Do
not lock the oven door
with
the latch while
broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
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.
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 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.
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 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
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.
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.
