IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Safety Rules below and all operating instructions
before using this appliance.
Keep this manual for later use.
Be sure your oven is Installed and grounded
properly.
Never try to frx or replace any part of the oven
unless this book tells you to. All other work should
be done by a skilled technician.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
See page 7.
Teach your children not to pla; with oven knobs
or any other part of the range. Never let children
sit or stand on the open oven door.
Never leave children alone or unwatched where
an oven is in use. Children should never be allow-
ed to sit or stand on the open oven door.
Teach chrldren not to play with oven controls.
Never use your oven for warming or heating a
room. Such use can be dangerous and hurt oven
parts.
Y
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure z
build-up may make container burst and cause z
injury. u)
Never wear loose clothing while using your oven.
Such clothes could catch fire.
Always use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam out before moving food.
Always move oven racks whrle oven is cool.
Always use dry pot holders when removing pans
from the oven. Moist or damp pot holders can
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. It may catch fire on the element.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait untrl the fat has cooled.
Always keep the oven area clear and free from
things that will burn, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids. Never store things in
an oven. These things may catch fire and plastic
items may melt and burn.
3

Never touch oven heat/no elements or tnterror sur-
faces of oven, Heating elements and nearby areas
may be hot enough to burn you even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not let
clothing or flammable materials touch heating
elements or oven surfaces until they have had time
to cool. Other surfaces that may’become hot dur-
rng use are the oven vent duct and the oven door.
When brotling, always take the broiler pan out of
the range and clean it when you are finished cook-
ing. If you forget that a broiler pan was left in the
range and later turn on the oven, you may start
a fire.
Never use aluminum foil tdline oven bottoms. On-
ly use foil as shown on page 8 of this book. Im-
proper use of foil could start a fire.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN ONLY
Always take the oven racks, the broiler pan and
other pots and pans out of the oven before a self
clean cycle.
Never use any kind of oven cleaner or oven liner
coattng. Do not use any spray cans near your
oven. The gas used to make these cans spray can
make metal parts rust in areas of high heat.
The door gasket is needed for a good seal so care
should be taken not to rub or move the gasket.
Clean with hydrogen peroxide. See page 11.
Always follow cleaning instructions on pages 11
and 12 of this book. Never try to clean other things .
in the oven during a self clean cycle unless this
book tells you to.

The oven lrght switch is located on the left srde of the control panel. See
page 16 for more Informalron. s
OVEN VENT
When the oven ISon, heated air moves through a vent below the control
panel. C
The vent area could get hot dunng oven use. g
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking
results. Do not block this vent. Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire d
or damage lo the oven. 5
NEW OVEN ODOR
0
Dunng the frrst bakrng and broiling cycles of your new oven, there may
be some odor. This is normal and IScaused by the heatrng of new parts s
and insulation The odor will go away within a short trme. A vent fan or 3
other ventilatron will help to clear the way.
PREHEATING
Preheating lets the oven heat evenly before the food IS put In. Allow 10
minutes at temperature less than 35OOF and about 15 mrnutes at
temperatures of 35OOF or more.
With recipes that call lor an oven preheated to a certain temperature. It
ISvery Important that you follow those rnstrucbons. It ISnot lkkely that you
will gel good baking results every time wrthout preheating to the needed
temperature unless the rectpe says to start In a cold oven.
After the oven IS preheated and you are ready to put the food in, try to
have everything handy so that you will not have to leave the oven door
open for an extended period of trme.
Opening the door to check the food during baking makes rt rmposstble
for the oven to stay at the temperature you have selected. Try to trme your
bakmg and check only when close to berng frntshed. .
NOTE: When using cookware made of ovenproof glass or PJery, Teflon
coaled cookware or dull or darkened pans in the oven, be sure to reduce
, recipe temperature by 25OF (see Choosing Cookware Chart, page 10).

RACK AND PAN ARRANGEMENT USING FOIL
Put oven rack(s) In place before lurnrng on Ihe oven. Rack posrtrons ar:
numbered 1 lo 4. startrng at the bottom wrth number 1. In general, when
uvng only one rack, postron No. 2 should be used. When usrng two racks,
posrtrons No. 2 and No 4 work best.
For Baking
When usrng cookre sheets, place fhem with the long srde loward the front
01Ihe oven and centered on the rack When usrng Iwo cookre sheets at
the same time use rack posrtrons No 2 and 4 The cook es on the lower
rack may be done l-2 mrnutes before the ones on the gher rack You
may want IO swrlch rack posrtrons when bakrng IS hallway Irnrshed.
To catch spillovers, cuf a prece of loll slrghlly larger than the pan and turn
