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 their customers of potential
exposure to such substances. The
fiberglass insulation in a self.
cleaning oven will give off a very
small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open door or
window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
OVEN FIRE:
Do not try to move the pan!
t. Close the oven door and turn
controls off.
2. if fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the fire, or
use a dry chemical foam, or halon-
type extinguisher.

REHEAT COOK
AUTO DEFROST
When using sensor cooking, the oven will
automatically adjust the cooking time for
you by detecting the humidity released
during cooking. The cooking time will vary
according to the types and amounts of
foods.
When power is restored, all digits in
the display will light up, then the
display will read RESET.
This feature adds flexibility to
microwave cooking. Each level of
power gives you microwave energy with
a certain percent of the power.Such as:
1= 10%of power
2= 20%of power
3= 30%of power
4: 40% of power
5= 50% of power
6= 60%ofpower
7= 70%ofpower
8= 80%of power
9= 90%of power
O= 100%of power
Mostof your cooking will be done using
100%of power. Foods will cook faster
butwill need to be stirred, rotated, or
turned over morefrequently.
Using a lowerlevel of power will cook
foods more evenly and need less
stirring or rotating.Somefoods may
have a better flavor,texture, or
appearance if one of the lower power
levels isused. A lower power is much
better for foods that have tendencies to
boil over.

OPERATION
OvenControl, Clock, and Timer
Your new control has a series of tones
that will sound at different times.
These tones may sound while you set
the control for an oven function, or at
the end of the oven function. It will
also alert you that there may be a
problem with the functions. Below
are the types of tones and a brief
description of each.
TONES WHILE SETTING THE
CONTROL - When you press a
touch pad, you will hear a beep. This
beep will let you know you have
placed enough pressure on the pad
to activate it.
END OF TIMED CYCLE TONE -
At the end of a timed cooking
function, you will hear 3 short beeps
followed by 1 beep every 6 seconds.
This 6-second beep will continue
to sound until the CLEAFI/OFF
pad is pressed, or you may select
the special feature to cancel this
6-second beep from sounding at the
end of future cycles.
TO CANCEL THE 6-SECOND
BEEP:
1. Press and hold the BAKE and
BROIL pads, at the same
time, for 3 seconds, until the
display shows "SF"
2. Press the HOUR/MIN KITCHEN
TIMER ON/OFF pad. The
display will show "CON BEEP"
(continuous beep)
3. Press the HOUR/MIN KITCHEN
TIMER ON/OFF pad again. The
display will show "BEEP" (beep
canceled).
4. Press the START pad.
If you would like to return the
6-second beep, repeat steps above
until the display shows your choice
and press the START pad.
ATTENTION TONE - This tone will
sound if you make an error or an
oversight is made while setting an
oven function.
Examples would be:
a. Setting a clean cycle and the oven
door is not properly closed.
b. Setting a function and not pressing
the START pad.
c. Pressing an additional function pad
without first setting a temperature
or time.
dm "ERR" will flash if you set an
invalid temperature. Press the
CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the
control and reset your oven
function.
Any of these can be quickly identified
by watching the display.
PREHEAT TONE - When you start
a bake operation, the oven
automatically starts to heat. When the
temperature inside the oven reaches
the temperature you have set, a tone
will sound to let you know the oven is
ready for baking.
If you set an oven function and the
control beeps while the display is
flashing "F" and a number "F-4" or
letter "FI," there may be a problem
with the control or oven. Simply press
the CLEAR/OFF pad and wait about
an hour. Try setting the function
again. If the code repeats, write down
the code and call for service. Tell the
technician what code was flashing.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To help
eliminate thisodor, ventilate the room
by opening a window or using a
vent hood.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom oroven rack with aluminum foil.
improper use can cause poor heat flow,
poor baking results, and may damage the
oven finish. To prevent staining from
spillovers, you may place a piece of
aluminum foil or a cookie sheet onthe rack
below the food which may spill over.
The oven vent is located under the control
panel. This area could become hot during
oven use. The vent is important for proper
air circulation. Never block this vent.
Oven Vent lr
Location
In the back of the oven you will notice a
small tube. This is a heat sensor that
maintains the temperature of the oven.
Never move or bend this tube.
Temperature_
Sensor
Preheating is bringing the oven temperature
up to the temperature you will be using
during baking. Let the oven preheat
thoroughly when recipes call for preheating.
Thelowtemperature zone ofyour oven
(between 170°Fand 200°F)is availableto
keep hotcookedfoods warm. However,foods
should notbe kept atthese temperatures
longer than 2 hours.
To prolong the life of your oven light bulb,
follow this helpful tip: Always turn the light
off whenthe oven is not in useor during a
clean cycle. If your oven light is left on for
an extended period of time, the oven will be
warm when the door is opened due to the
heat generated from the oven light bulb.
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products suchas
butter ormargarine (80%fat by weight--the
federal requirementfor products labeled
"margarine"),You will get poor results if
cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, or candies are
made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat spreads
contain less fat and morewater. Thehigh
moisturecontent ofthese spreads affects the
texture and flavor of favorite baked recipes.
Thelowerthefat content ofa spread
product, the more noticeable these
differences become. To ensurebest results,
usemargarine, butter,or stick spreads
containing at least 70%vegetable oil.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
The Oven Temperature Sensor at the back
of the oven continuously senses and
controls the temperature inside the oven.
To keep a constant set temperature, the
elements will cycle or turn on and off during
cooking.
If baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least 1to 1W' of air
space around it. Place pans so one is not
directly above the other.
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides,
allow air to circulate all around the cookies
for even browning.
=======================
SHINY PANS reflect heat and are perfect
for cakes and quick breads that need a light
golden brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK, OR
DARKENED-BY-AGE BAKEWARE
absorbs heat, and can be used for yeast
breads, pie crust, or foods that need a
brown crust. The oven temperature, when
using these pans, should be reduced
by 25°F.
Theoven racks are designed with stop
locks, a convenience as well as a safety
precaution. The guides have a bump to
prevent the racks from tilting when racks
are pulled out of theoven.
Bump in I_ ill
Rack G_
Your oven has seven (7) rack positions.
Thetop position is only a guide. It cannot
be used as a rack position.
Guide
Always place oven racks in the
proper position while oven is cool.
You may feel that your new oven cooks
differently than the oven it replaced. We
recommend that you use your new oven
a few weeks to become more familiar
with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide. See Do-It-Yourself
Temperature Adjustment in the back of this
manual to make the adjustment if you feel
your oven is too hot or too cool for your
cooking 3reference.
When using your convenient Delay Start
operation, foods such as dairy products,
fish, poultry, etc., should never sit more
than 1 hour before cooking. Room
temperatures and the heat from the oven
light promote bacterial growth.

Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results.
