Important Safety Instructions
AWARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using
the oven, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
. Read all instructions before using the oven.
2. Install or locate the oven only in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer. The oven must be properly
connected to electrical supply and grounded.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged.
4. Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
5. Use the oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.
6. Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the oven. They
could ignite if they touch a heating element and you could be
burned.
7. Do not touch heating elements 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; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent opening, the oven door and the
oven door window.
8. 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 bulky cloth for a
potholder. They could catch on fire.
9. Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and container particles could cause
injury.
10. Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it.
11. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
12. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
13. Always position oven rack(s) 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.
14. Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven. They could
explode or burn.
15. Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

. Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the oven is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the oven. They could be burned or injured.
. Keep oven vents unobstructed.
. Clean your oven regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this
manual.
. Be sure all oven parts are cool before cleaning.
. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Clean only parts
recommended in this Use and Care Guide.
. 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.
. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven
racks and other utensils. Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts.
. Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
. Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the oven.

Electronic Clock
Operation
The electronic clock controls all
timed operations for both ovens. It
consists of the display, Start Button,
Set Knob and Stop/Cancel Button.
When your oven is first connected
to the power in your home, “00:00”
will appear in the display.
To set the time of day:
1. Turn the Set Knob one full turn
counterclockwise until a tone is
heard and “TIME” appears in the
display.
2. Continue turning the Set Knob in
either direction until the correct
time of day appears in the
display.
3. Press the Start Button to begin
clock operation.
To use the minute timer:
The Minute Timer can be
programmed from 5 seconds to 99
minutes for precise timing of short
and long-term cooking, or any
other activity. The Minute Timer is
only an audible reminder and will
not turn the oven ON or OFF.
1. To use, turn the Set Knob
clockwise. The display will
immediately change to “5” and
“TIMER” will be displayed.

sound for 3 seconds, after which an
intermittent tone will sound until
the Minute Timer is cancelled, or
until a total of 15 minutes have
elapsed.

Self-Clean program must be set first,
then the Minute Timer. The Minute
Timer countdown will show in the
display. One touch of the Stop/
Cancel Button will cancel the
Minute Timer and two touches will
cancel the cooking or cleaning
program.
From 20 minutes to 99 minutes

Upper Oven Controls
The upper can be used for baking,
roasting and broiling. The oven has
two controls — a Selector and a
Temperature Control. Both controls
must be set for the oven to work.
Selector:
The Selector has six settings:
ROTIS - Top elements operate at full
power whenever heating. Use this
setting when using the rotisserie.
BROIL - The top elements will operate
at full power whenever heating. Use
this setting for broiling.
CLEAN - Use this setting for self-
cleaning only.
TIME BAKE - The bottom element and
outer top element operate at full
power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for automatic
time baking.
BAKE - The bottom element and
outer top element operate at full
power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for baking,
roasting and cooking casseroles.
OFF - Use this setting to turn the
oven off.
Temperature control:
The Temperature Control can be set
at any temperature from
Wm (warm/150°F] to BROIL (550?F],
or on CLEAN. Settings Wm to 225°F
are suggested for warming and
holding foods.
When setting the Temperature
Control, if you accidentally go past
the desired setting, turn the dial fully
counterclockwise and then reset to
the desired setting to get an accurate
temperature setting. Be sure the
Temperature Control is turned fully
counterclockwise when the oven is
not in use.
Lower Oven Controls
The lower oven is used for baking,
roasting and broiling. It has two
controls — a Selector and a
Temperature Control. Both controls
must be set for the oven to work.
Selector:
The Selector has five settings:
BROIL - The top elements will
operate at full power whenever
heating. Use this setting for
broiling.
CLEAN - Use this setting for
self-cleaning only.
TIME BAKE - The bottom element
and outer top element operate at
full power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for
automatic time baking.
BAKE - The bottom element and
outer top element operate at full
power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for baking,
roasting and cooking casseroles.
OFF - Use this setting to turn the
oven off.
The Selector and Temperature
Control for the lower oven operate
exactly as for the upper oven.
IMPORTANT: The lower oven will
not operate while the upper oven
is being cleaned, and the upper
oven will not operate while the
lower oven is being cleaned. If an
attempt is made to clean both
ovens at the same time, neither will
operate.

Preheating the Oven
For best results, preheat the oven
until the Oven Cycle Light goes out,
unless the recipe states otherwise.
Set the Selector to BAKE and the
Temperature Control to the desired
temperature. The Oven Cycle Light
will go out when the set
temperature has been reached. The
Oven Cycle Light will cycle on and
off with the elements during the
heating period.
Be sure the Selector is turned to
OFF and the Temperature Control is
turned fully counterclockwise or to
OFF when the oven is not in use.
Baking in the Oven
(Upper or Lower Oven)
1. Arrange the oven rack(s] in the
desired position(s).
2. Turn the Selector to BAKE.
3. Set the Temperature Control to
the recommended temperature.
See the “Baking chart” on
page 13.
4. Place the food in the oven after
the Oven Cycle Light goes out,
or when the recipe specifies.
Be sure to turn the Selector to OFF
and the Temperature Control fully
counterclockwise when cooking is
completed.
POU eee
Rack positions:
There are two racks for each oven.
One rack is straight and the other is
offset. The offset rack permits
intermediate positions for the
placement of food within the oven.
Your oven has four rack
positions. Rack position 4 is the
highest position, or farthest from
the bottom of the oven. Rack
position 1 is the lowest position, or
closest to the bottom of the oven.
Be sure to arrange the oven rack(s}
before putting foods into the oven
or turning the oven on.
To remove oven racks:
1. Pull rack out until bar on back of
rack touches first stop.
2. Lift front of rack until rear
position of rack slides out
between the two front stops.
