IMPORTANT
SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance. When using
gas or electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT: To insure safety for
yourself, family and home, please
read your Owner's Manual carefully.
Keep it handy for reference. Pay
close attention to Safety Sections.
BE SURE your appliance is
installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
• DO NOT leave children alone
or unattended near an appliance
in use.
•TEACH CHILDREN not to play
with controls or any part of the
appliance, and not to sit, climb or
stand on the door, or any part of the
appliance.
•CAUTION: NEVER STORE
items of interest to children in
cabinets above the appliance.
Children climbing on an appliance
could be seriously injured.
• KEEP THIS book for later use.
•NEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
instructions are given in this
manual. All other work should be
done by a qualified technician.
•NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
•ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall
coverings, curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders, and other linens
a safe distance from the appliance.
•NEVER USE a towel or other
bulky cloth as a potholder and
make sure the potholder is dry.
Moist potholders could cause
steam burns. DO NOT let
potholders touch hot surfaces.
•ALWAYS KEEP the oven area
free from things that will burn. Food,
wooden utensils, grease buildup,
gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt, and
canned foods could explode. Your
appliance should never be used as
a storage area.
•ALWAYS KEEP your appliance
clear of things that will burn
(gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids).
•NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
•NEVER LEAVE jars or cans of fat
or drippings in your oven.
•NEVER TRY to clean a hot
surface. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes, and wet cloths or
sponges could cause steam burns.
•NEVER WEAR loose fitting
clothing when using your
appliance.
•BE SURE the oven is securely
installed in a cabinet that is firmly
attached to the house structure.

IMPORTANTSAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
•DO NOT touch heating elements,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not
touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
cool. Other surfaces near the oven vent
openings, oven door, or window may
also be hot enough to cause burns.
•PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.
•AFTER BROILING, always take the
broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in the
broiler pan could catch fire the next
time you use your oven.
•ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
•NEVER USE aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Improper use of foil
could start a fire, or electrical shock
could result.
• NEVER BLOCK the oven vent
opening.
•CLEAN ONLY the parts listed in this
manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions.
•NEVER RUB, move or damage the
door gasket on self-cleaning ranges.
•NEVER TRY to clean utensils,
cookware, removable parts or broiler
pan and grid in the self-clean cycle. 4
• DO NOT USE oven cleaners - No
commercial oven cleaner or protective
coating of any kind should be used in
or around any part of the oven.
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!
1. Close tile 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.

with the functions. Below are the
types of tones and a brief description
of each.

the temperature you have set, a tone
will sound to let you know the oven is

flashing "F" and a number or letter
such as "F4" or "FI," there may be a
problem with the control or oven.

function again. Ifthe code repeats,

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
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.
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by opening a window
or using a vent hood.
IMPORTANT" Never cover the oven
bottom or oven 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 below foods 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
•Location
Opening the door often to check foods
will cause heat loss and poor baking
results.
Preheating is bringing the temperature
up to the temperature you will be using
during baking.
The low temperature zone of your oven
(between 170° and 200°F) is available
to keep hot cooked foods warm.
However, foods should not be kept
at these temperatures longer than
2 hours.
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.
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement for
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 more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads
affects the texture and flavor of favorite
baked recipes. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more
noticeable these differences become.
To ensure best results, use margarine,
butter or stick spreads containing at
least 70% vegetable oil.
