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, and window
may also be hot enough to cause
burns.
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 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 baton type extinguisher.
• 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 result in risk
of electric shock.

OPERATION
Oven Cooking Tips
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.
Preheating is bringing the
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat thoroughly when
recipes call for preheating.
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.
erature Sensor
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.
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
_L...,.,_ Location
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.

WARE, absorb 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.
The Qven 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
_"m on and off during cooking.
if baking with more than one pan, place
the pans so each has at least 1to 1 1/2'
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.
The oven 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 the oven.
Your oven has four (4) rack positions.
Above the top guide cannot be used for
a rack position.

Always place oven racks in the

SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
_ct for cakes and quick breads that

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 ItYourself
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 preference.

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from
the upper element. The even door
should remain open to the broil stop
position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling. Use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your range. Both are
designed for proper drainage of fat and
liquids.
lf foil is used it must
be molded tightly to
the grid and slits cut
into the foil to match
those of the grid, This
allows fats and liquids to
drain into the broiler pan,
preventing fire and
excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan and
grid from the oven,
Storing or forgetting _
a soiled broiler pan
in the oven is a potential
smoke or fire hazard.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is popular,
but meat cooked to only 140°F (rare)
means that some food poisoning
organisms may survive.
The closer you place foods to the broil
element, the faster foods brown on the
outside yet remain red to pink in the
center.
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the center
while browning on the outside. Cook
side 1at least 2minutes longer than
side 2. It your oven is connected to 208
volts, you may want to use a higher rack
position and/or broil foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of the
doneness of the meat will affect broiling.

refrigerator temperature.

"DOIT YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT +
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.
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked) you can
adjust the temperature yourself. The
appearance and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
oven thermometers, to check the TEMP
temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by 20-40 f'%. /'_
degrees. In addition, the oven door
must be opened to read these
thermometers. Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven temperature
25 degrees higher (if foods are
undercooked) or 25 degrees lower (if
foods are burning) than the temperature
in your recipe, then bake. The results of
this "test" should give you an idea of
how much the temperature should be
changed.
1. Press and hold down
both the BAKE and
BROIL pads for 3
seconds, until the
display shows $F.
2. Press the BAKE pad.
A factory set 2 digit
number will show in the
display, usually 00.
If you think the
oven is not hot
enough,
3a. Press the UP arrow
pad to increase (+}
the temperature up to
+35°F.
3b. Press the DOWN
arrow pad to
decrease (.) the
temperature down to
,35°F.
4. Press the START pad.
This increased or decreased
temperature setting will remain in
memory until the above steps are
repeated. A power failure will not affect
this setting.
The broil temperature will not be
affected.
