Il~PORTANT
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-cleaning 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.

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.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Energ-Sating
Tips
● Preheat oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating. If
you find preheating is necessary,
listen for the beep, and put food in
oven promptly after the oven is
preheated.
● Always turn oven off before
removing food.
● During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it
is opened.
● Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.
● Use residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

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 Electronic Controls so you
understand how to use them.
2. Check oven interior. Look at
the shelves. Take a practice run
at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy
support.
3. Read over information and tips
that follow.
4. Keep this book handy so you
can refer to it, especially during
the first weeks of getting
acquainted with your oven.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they (a) will stop before coming
completely from the oven, and (b)
will not tilt when removing food
from or placing food on them.
1
To remove shelf from the oven,
pull forward to stop-locks and lift
front of shelf. Be certain that shelf
is cool before touching.
To replace shelf in oven, tilt
shelf up at front and slide curved
extension of shelf under stop-lock
on shelf support. Then slide shelf
all the way into oven.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the “stop”
position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports—
A (bottom), B, C and
D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking food
are suggested on Baking, Roasting
and Broiling pages.
Oven I.ight
The light comes on automatically
when the oven door is opened. Use
the pad on the control panel to turn
the light on and off when the door
is closed. On double-oven models,
both lights come on when you
open either door or touch the
oven light pad.

Baking
See Baking Guide.
NOTE: Double oven models
have controls for upper oven
and lower oven. Be sure to set
the correct control. Pads on
the left side of panel are for the
upper oven. Pads on the right
side of panel are for the lower
oven. The TIMER
ON/0~,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.
Your oven temperature is
controlled very accurately using
an electronic control system. It is
recommended that you operate the
oven for a number of weeks using
the time given on recipes as a
guide to become familiar with your
new oven’s performance. If you
think an adjustment is necessary,
see Adjusting Oven Temperature
section.
How to Set Your Range
for Baking
Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, place
shelves on alternate shelf supports
and stagger food on them.
Step 2: Close the oven door.
Step 3: Touch BAKE pad.
(You may hear a slight clicking
sound, indicating the oven is
working properly.)
9
The word “ON” and the changing
temperature will be displayed as
the oven heats up. When the oven
reaches the set temperature, a tone
will sound.
To change oven temperature during
Bake cycle, touch
BA~ pad and
then INCREASE or DECREASE
pad to get new temperature.
Step 5: Touch CLEAWOFF pad
when baking is finished and then
remove food from oven.
How to Time Bake
Your oven can be set to turn on
and off automatically. However,
food left in the oven will continue
to cook from heat remaining in
the oven.
Foods that are highly perishable
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out for more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria. Be
sure that oven light is off because
heat from the bulb will speed
harmful bacteria growth.
NOTE: Before beginning, make
sure the oven clock shows the
correct time of day.
To set the clock, first touch the
CLOCK pad. “SET TIME”
will show in the display. Press
INCREASE or DECREASE pad
until correct time of day is
displayed.
How to Set Immediate
Start and Automatic Stop
The oven will turn on immediately
and cook for a selected length of
time. At the end of Cook Time the
oven will turn off automatically.
Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, place
shelves on alternate shelf supports
and stagger food on them.
Step 2: Close the oven door.

hours. Adding 3 hours to the time
of day equals 5:00.
Step 8: Change Stop Time
from 5:00 to 7:00 by pressing
INCREASE pad until “7:00” and
Stop Time appear in the display.
The words “DELAY TIMED
BAKE” and the temperature you

programmed 3 hours.
For best cooking results,
remove the food from the oven
immediately after the Stop Time
is reached.
Foods that are highly perishable
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Room
