Electric Oven Safety
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
•Storage in Oven – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven.
•Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
•Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the oven, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
•Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
•Never Use the Oven for Warming or
Heating the Room.
•Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children

Electric Oven Safety
•Placement of Oven Racks – Always
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element
in oven.
•DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELE-
MENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF OVEN – Heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot
enough to cause burns – among
these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors.
•Do Not Clean 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 oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
•Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
•Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –
Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

•Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
•Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F
(16°C). Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION (see the “Using EASY
CONVECT CONVERSION” section).
•For some recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
•When baking on two or three racks, use
the CONVECTION BAKE setting for more
even results. (You can also use only one
rack when convection baking.)
•To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all
three racks to be an equal distance apart
for better baking.
•Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used. This will make sure
pans are not directly over each other.

Using aluminum foil
•Do not line the oven bottom with any
type of foil,
liners, or
cookware.
Permanent
damage will
occur to the
oven bottom
finish.
•Do not cover
the entire rack
with aluminum
foil. Doing so will reduce air circulation
and overall oven performance.
•To catch spillovers from pies or
casseroles place foil on the oven rack
below. Foil should be turned up at edges
and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than
dish.
•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
or poultry to slow down surface browning
for long term roasting. Remove foil for the
last 30 minutes.
•Use narrow strips of foil to shield
piecrust edges if browning too quickly.
Adjusting oven
temperature
Although your new oven is properly adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures, it may
cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the
baking/roasting results, you can change the
offset temperature by following the steps
below. The control will “remember” the
selected offset even after the power has
been interrupted or lost.

NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature
with a thermometer. Opening the oven door
will lower the oven temperature and give
you an inaccurate reading. Also, the ther-
mometer temperature reading will change
as your oven cycles.
1. PRESS
Release the pad when a number and
CAL appear on the temperature display
and you hear a tone.
2. Set new offset temperature.
You can set the offset temperature
adjustment as low as -35°F (-21°C) or as
high as +35°F (21°C). Each time you
press BAKE, the displayed temperature
will increase by 5°F (3°C). Each time you
press BROIL, the displayed temperature
will decrease by 5°F (3°C). (To determine
the amount of adjustment needed, see
the chart later in this section.)
NOTE: If there is no “F” after the

Using the temperature
probe
The Temperature Probe is the most accurate
guide to the degree of doneness of meat. Use
it when baking, roasting any type of meat or
poultry, or cooking casseroles with liquid.
NOTES:
•Do not use the Temperature Probe when
broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating, or
raising bread.
•Unplug the Temperature Probe before self-
cleaning the oven.
1. Insert probe into food.
Insert the probe into the center of the thick-
est portion of meat or into the inner thigh
or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone.
2. Put food in oven.
Place meat on the convection roasting
rack, place rack on broiler pan and grid,
and place pan in the center of the oven.
3. Connect probe to oven.
Locate the Temperature Probe jack on the
right side of the oven wall. Insert plug into
jack. (Keep the top of the probe as far as
possible from the heat source.)
4. Close oven door.
5. Set temperature (optional).
Do this step if you want to set an internal
food temperature (from 130°F [54°C]
to 190°F [88°C]) other than 160°F (72°C).
NOTE: See a reliable cookbook or your
convection oven cookbook for internal
food temperature recommendations.
6. Choose cook setting:
•BAKE,
•CONVECTION BAKE, or
•CONVECTION ROAST.
NOTE: If you press BROIL,
CONVECTION BROIL, or CLEAN
pads, the display will show “pull prb out.”

Using EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION
EASY CONVECT Conversion lets you
convection cook without entering convection
cook temperatures and times. Simply enter
the standard cook temperature and time for
the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce
the temperature, or the temperature and
time, for convection cooking. (Convection
temperatures and times are not as long
because the heated air is circulated in the
oven cavity for quicker cooking.)
NOTE: The converted temperatures and
times are not precise because the food
categories you choose from are general.
(See “EASY CONVECT Conversion setting
chart” later in this section for which foods
you can cook in each category.) To ensure
proper cooking, the oven will prompt you to
check food at the end of cook time. If food
needs more cooking, the oven will continue
to cook. If food does not need more cooking,
press LOWER OVEN CANCEL.
1. Place food in oven.
NOTE: For Baked Goods and Other
Foods, place food in the oven after the
oven has been preheated.
2. Press one of three EASY
CONVECT CONVERSION pads.
Example for Meats:

3. Enter standard cook
temperature.
4. Enter standard cook time.
NOTE: To delay convection cooking, after
Step 4, press STOP TIME and enter the
desired stop time. Cooking will start at the
time equal to the stop time less the cook
time. (Example: A cook time of 1 hour and
a stop time of 4:00 would give you a start
time of 3:00.)
5. PRESS
NOTES:
•The actual temperature reduction and
time savings are different for each food
category and oven type.
•For Baked Goods and Other Foods,
place food in the oven after the oven
has been preheated.
6. At end of cook time (nonde-
layed cooking):
7. Open door and check food
(nondelayed cooking).
If you want to continue cooking, close
door and the oven will continue cooking.
If you do not want to continue cooking,
press LOWER OVEN CANCEL.
8. When stop time is reached (de-
layed cooking only):
Four tones will sound, and the display
will show “End.” Four reminder tones will
sound (unless they have been disabled)
