SBECTOR THERMOSTAT
Thermostat:
The lower oven has an adjustable
Thermostat (see page 20). It can be
set at any temperature from 200°F
to BROIL. The Thermostat also has a
CLEAN setting. Settings 200°F to
225°F are suggested for warming
and holding foods.
Selector:
The Selector has five settings:
BROIL-The top elements 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 cooking.
BAKE-The bottom element and
outer top element operate at full
power and glow red whenever
heating. Use this setting for baking,
roasting and for heating casseroles.
OFF—Use this setting to turn the
oven off.
IMPORTANT: The On Indicator
Light will come on whenever the
Selector is set to any setting other
than OFF.

Econo/maxi broil switch:
ECONO BROIL—Use to broil smail
amounts of food. For instance, two
hamburgers, four hot dogs or four
strips of bacon. Heat will come from
the inner top element only.
MAXI BROIL—Use to broil large
amounts of food. For instance,
three or more hamburgers, five or
more hot dogs, or five or more
Strips of bacon. Heat will come from
both top elements.
Preheating the Lower
Oven
For best results, preheat the lower
oven until the Lower Oven
Indicator Light goes out, unless the
recipe states otherwise. Set the
Selector to BAKE and the
Thermostat to the desired
temperature. Exercise care in
turning the Thermostat so you do
not go past the desired set point. if
you accidentally go past the desired
setting, retum the dial to OFF and
reset to the desired setting. The
Lower Oven Indicator Light will go
out when the desired temperature
has been reached and will cycle on
and off with the elements during
the heating period.
Be sure the Selector and
Thermostat are tumed to OFF when
the oven is not in use.

Oven racks
Rack positions
d
C-DAUOCLCOILLCCEEOODOADODOOOOOOODONODDIDLHIH -1
L
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.
There are two racks for the lower
oven. One rack is straight and the
other is offset. The shape of the
Offset (raised) rack allows more
versatility in rack positioning
compared to the straight rack.
Be sure to arrange the oven
rack(s} before putting food into the
oven or tuming the oven on.
A\WARNING
Fire and Personal Injury
Hazard
e Always position oven rack(s}
in desired location before
turning oven on. Be sure the
rack(s) are level.
e If rack(s) must be moved
while oven is hot, use
pothoiders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
e Do not let potholders or
oven mitts contact hot
heating elements.
¢ Always use a dry potholder
or oven mitt to change
rack(s) or handle utensils in
the oven. Do not use a damp
pothoider or oven mitt.
Steam burns could result.
Failure to follow the above
precautions may result in fire
or personal injury.
To remove oven racks:
e Straight rack—Lift rack and pull
forward.
© Offset rack—Pull rack out until bar
on back of rack touches stop. Lift
front of rack up until rear position
of rack slides out.
To replace oven racks:
e Straight rack—-Place rack on rack
guides. While lifting front of rack,
push into oven.
e Offset rack-Piace rack on rack
guides. While lifting front of rack,
push in to first stop. Lower front
and push in rack rest of way.

Rack and pan placement
When using one rack, the rack
should be placed so the top of the
food wiil be centered in the oven.
For proper cooking, foliow these
guidelines for specific foods:
e Angel and bundt cake, yeast
breads, frozen pies, large roasts
and turkeys—place rack on lowest
level
e Casseroles, muffins, most quick
breads and meats—place rack on
second level from bottom
e Cookies, biscuits, cakes and norn-
frozen pies—place rack on second
or third level from bottom
When baking on two racks, arrange
offset rack on bottom and straight
rack on third level from bottom.
The hot air must circulate around
the pans in the oven for even heat
to reach all parts of the oven.
For best air circulation:
e Place the pans so that one is not
directly over the other.
e Allow 1!/2 to 2 inches of space
around each pan and between
pans and oven walls.
When baking with one pan, place
pan in the center of the oven rack.
When baking with two pans, place
pans in opposite corners of the
oven rack.
e Use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at a time.
IMPORTANT: “Oven peeking” may
cause heat loss, longer cooking
times and unsatisfactory baking or
roasting results. Rely on your timer.

Using aluminum foil in the oven
ÁWARNING
Electrical Shock, Fire and
Product Damage Hazard
e Do not allow foil to touch
the heating elements
because it will damage them
and could result in electrical
shock or fire hazard.
e Do not line Self-Clean oven
bottom or entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. Poor
baking will resuit. Damage
to the oven finish will occur
if foil is left in oven during
Self-Clean cycle.
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
from pies or casseroles.
© Place the foil on the oven rack
below the rack with the food. The
foil should have the edges turned
up and be about 1 inch larger all
around than the dish holding the
food.
e Do not cover the entire rack with
aluminum foil. It will reduce air
circulation and cause poor cooking
results.
Baking or Roasting
1. Arrange the oven rack(s) in the
desired position(s).
2. Set the Thermostat to the desired
temperature. (See the baking
chart in the cookbook for
temperature recommendations.)
3. Tum the Selector to BAKE.
4. Place the food in the oven after
the Lower Oven Indicator Light
goes out, or when the recipe
specifies.
Be sure to turn the Selector and the
Thermostat to OFF when cooking is
completed.
Roasting tips:
e Roast meats fat side up ina
shallow pan using a roasting rack.
e Use a roasting pan that fits the size
of the food to be roasted. Meat
juices may overflow the sides of a
pan that is too small. Too large of
a pan will result in increased oven
spatter.
e Spatter can be reduced by lining
the bottom of the roasting pan
with lightly crushed aluminum foil.
e A foil tent will slow down surface
browning for long-term roasting,
as when roasting a turkey. Place
tent-shaped foil loosely over meat
to allow for air circulation. Do not
seal foil or meat will be steamed.
e Use an accurate meat thermometer
or temperature probe (see
“Temperature Probe” on page 12)
to determine when meat has
reached desired degree of
doneness. Insert the thermometer
or probe into the center of the
thickest portion of the meat or into
the inner thigh or breast of
poultry. For an accurate reading,
the tip of the thermometer or
probe should not touch fat, bone
or gristle. See roasting chart in the
cookbook for recommended
intemal temperatures.
continued on next page
11

e After reading the thermometer
once, push it further into the meat
1/2 inch more and read it again. If
the temperature drops, retum the
meat to the oven for more
cooking.
eCheck poultry with thermometer
in 2-3 places to ensure adequate
doneness.
e Remove roasted meats from the
oven when the thermometer
registers 5°F to 10°F lower than
the desired temperature. The meat
will continue to cook after removal
from the oven.
e Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil
and allowed to stand 10 to 15
minutes after removal from the
oven.
Temperature Probe
The Temperature Probe is the most
accurate guide to the degree of
doneness of meat. Use it when
roasting any type of meat or
poultry.
1. Insert the Temperature Probe into
the center of the thickest portion
of meat or into the inner thigh or
breast of poultry, away from fat
or bone.
2. Place pan with meat on rack that
has been centered in the oven.
3. Open the Temperature Probe
cover located on the left 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 the oven door.
5. Set the Thermostat to the desired
roasting temperature.
6. To set the oven to turn off
automatically, when the
Temperature Probe temperature
is reached, tum the Selector to
TIME BAKE.
TEMP
PROBE
7. Touch the Lower Oven TEMP
PROBE Command Pad.
8. Touch the Number Pads for the
highest temperature you want
the food to reach, between 90°F
and 200°F. The display will show
the numbers you touched in the
order you touched them.
9. Touch START. The display will
show the time of day or go blank
(if time of day has not been set).

What happens during this
selection:
The oven will begin heating. The
heating elements will cycle on and
off to maintain the proper
temperature. After the food
temperature reaches the “high”
temperature that you programmed,
four beeps will sound. The oven will
continue to heat and a short beep
will sound once every minute until
the oven is tumed off.
To turn off oven and intermittent
tone:
1. Tum the Selector and Thermostat
to OFF.
2. Unpiug the Temperature Probe
using an oven mitt or potholder.
AWARNING
Burn Hazard
Oven, probe and probe
cover wili be hot. Use an
oven mitt or a potholder to
remove the probe. Failure to
do so could result in burns.
3. Remove food from oven to
prevent overcooking.
4. Wipe probe with a soapy cloth
and dry thoroughly. Use a plastic
scouring pad to remove cooked-
on foods.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT immerse
Temperature Probe in water or
other liquid.
Broiling
Broiling is a quick-cook method that
will produce foods that are brown
on the outside and moist and juicy
on the inside.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the
desired position. See a broiling
chart in a reliable cookbook for
recommended rack placement.
2. Place food on grid in broiler pan
and place in center of the oven
rack. Turn the pan so the long
side is parallel to the oven door
for the best heat distribution and
airflow.
3. Tum the Thermostat to BROIL.
4. Tum the Selector to BROIL. Do
not preheat the broiler.
5. Set the Econo/Maxi Broil Switch
at desired setting.
6. Position the oven door at the
Broil Stop position.
Be sure to turn the Selector and
Thermostat to OFF when broiling is
completed.
Broiling tips:
e Always Start broiling with a cold
broiler pan for even results.
To retain more natural juice, do
not pierce meat with a fork.
Trim the outer layer of fat from
steaks and chops.
Slit fatty edges to prevent meat
from curling during broiling.
¢ Brush food with butter, sauce or
seasoning, if desired, several times
during broiling.
e Grease the broiler pan grid when
broiling fish to prevent sticking.
continued on next page

A\WARNING
Fire Hazard
e Place meat the correct
distance from the element.
Meat placed too close to
the element may spatter,
smoke, burn or catch fire
during broiling.
e To ensure adequate grease
drainage, do not use cookie
sheets or similar pans for
broiling. Also, covering the
broiler grid with foil is not
recommended. Poor
drainage of grease may
result in fire. If foil is used,
cut slits in foil to correspond
with all openings in broiler
grid. Grease can then drain
away and cool in pan.
Automatic Time Cooking
Automatic time cooking allows you
to tum the oven on and off
automatically. The starting time can
be set to come on now or later.

delayed cycle:
e The Oven Indicator Light will glow
to tell you the oven is heating.
¢ The Lock Indicator Light will come
on when the temperature reaches
575°F-600°F (approximately 15
minutes).
At the end of the Self-Clean cycle:
e The Oven Indicator Light will
go out.
e The Lock Indicator Light will
continue to glow until the oven
temperature drops below 550°F.
The oven door cannot be opened
until the Lock Indicator Light goes
out. Do not tum the Thermostat
or Selector to OFF until Lock

before wiping up any residue.
Oven self-cleaning tips:
è Evening is a good time to clean
the oven, after normal oven use is
completed.
e Smali amounts of smoke escaping
from the oven vent are normal
when oven is heavily soiled.
Excessive smoke may indicate
heavy spillovers have not been
wiped up.
e Do not force the Oven Lock Lever
open when the Lock Indicator
Light is on. Damage to the lock
mechanism may result.
eTo prevent accidental locking, the
Oven Lock Lever should always be
unlocked (positioned to the far
left) except when the Selector and
Thermostat are set at CLEAN. If
accidental locking occurs, turm
oven off. Allow oven temperature
to decrease so Lock Lever can be
moved. Do not force Lock Lever.
Wait until it moves easily.
e Clean oven regularly, before it
becomes “excessively dirty.” If
oven is not clean after one cycle,
repeat the Self-Clean cycle.
e After a Self-Clean cycle, any
powdery residue can be wiped
away with a damp cloth. If white
spots remain in the oven after a
Self-Clean cycle, remove them with
a norscratch scouring pad before
using the oven again. These spots
are usually salt residues that
cannot be removed during the
SelfClean cycle.
e if the soil removal was not
complete, increase the length of
the clean time in the next cycle.

Adjusting the Thermostat
Does your oven seem hotter or
coider than your old oven? The
temperature of your old oven may
have shifted gradually without you
noticing the change. Your new
oven is properly adjusted to provide
accurate temperatures. But when
compared to your old oven, the
new design may give you different
results.
If, after using the oven for a
period of time, you are not satisfied
with the temperature settings, they
can be adjusted by following these
steps:
1. Tum the Thermostat to the off
position. Pull knob straight off
and flip it over.
2. Loosen the screw 1/2 turn with a
Phillips screwdriver. Note the
position of the notches.

knob handie firmly and move the
bar a notch closer to LO. Each
notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
4. To raise the temperature, hold
knob handle firmly and move the
bar a notch closer to HI. Each
notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
