E:X
No.1
Your oven has four rack positions. Rack
position 4is the highest position, or
farthest from the bottom of the oven.
Rackposition 1is the lowest position, or
closest to the bottom of the oven.
There aretwo straight racksfor the
oven. When baking on two racks,place
one rack on the bottom and the other
rack on rack position 3.
Besure to arrange the oven rack(s)
before putting food into the oven or
turning the oven on.

9Always use a dry potholder or
oven mitt to change rack(s) or
handle utensils in the oven. Do
not use a damp potholder or oven
mitt. Steam bums oould result.
Failure to follow the above
precautions may result in fire or
personal injury.
To remove oven racks:

To replace oven racks:
1.Placerear of rack on rack guides.
fIo&I sure center rack bar is facing
2.Tilt up front of rack and push into
place.
Rack and pan placement
When using one rack, the rack should be
placed sothe top of the food will be
centered ln the oven. Always leave at
least 1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5cm) between
the sides of the pan and the oven walls
and other pans.
For proper cooking, follow these
guidelines for specific foods:
HAngel and bundt cakepans, yeast
breads, frozen pies, large roasts and
turkeys-place rack on lowest level
I Casseroles,muffins, most quick
breads and meats-place rack on
secondlevel from bottom
I Cookies,biscuits, cakesand non-
frozen pies-place rack on secondor
third level from bottom
Page6

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:
n Placethe pans so that one is not
directly over the other.
. Allow 1 l/2-2 inches (4-5cm) of
spacearound each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
. Useonly one cookie sheet in the
oven at one time.
n When cooking with one pan. place
pan in the center of the oven rack.
. When cooking with two pans, place
pans in opposite comers ofthe oven
rack.
. When cooking with three or four
pans, place pans in opposite comers
on each oven rack. Stagger,sono
pan is directly over another.
NOTE: “Oven peeking” may causeheat
loss, longer cooking times and
unsatisfactory baking or roasting results.
Rely on your timer, and view food
through door window.
How to use aluminum foil for
b-w
Usealuminum foil to catch spill-avers
from pies or casseroles.
mPlacethe foil on the oven rack
below the rack with the food. The
foil should have the edges turned
up and be about 1inch (3 cm) larger
all around than the dish holding the
food.
. Donot cover the entire rack with
aluminum foil It will reduce air
circulation and causepoor cooking
results.
n Donot line oven bottom with foil or
other liners. It will reduce the flow
of air in the oven and causepoor
baking results.
Bum and Product Damage Hazard
.Make sure all controls are OFF
and the oven is cool before using
foil. Failure to do so can result in
burns.
n Do not use foil to cover oven floor
or to completely cover a rack.
Goaf air circulation is needed for
the oven to operate prop&y. On
Model BG!S470W,damage to the
oven finish will occur if foil is left
in oven during the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
Baking with preheating
(Model BGS470W)
For best results when baking, preheat
the oven before placing food in the oven.
The oven can be programmed to preheat
at any temperature from 170°Fto 550°F.

Broiling tips
n Usethe broiler pan and grid for
broiling. They are designed to dram
excessliquid and fat away from the
cooking surface to help prevent
spatter, smokeor 6re.
. If you broil small quantities, you
may want to use a small broiler pan.
They are available in the
housewares section of many
department stores.
n For best broiling results, preheat at
BROILfor 5 minutes. Do not preheat
with broiler pan in place.
. Broiling rack position determines
how the burner cooksyour food.
The lower the position, the more
broiler grid area covered. See
“Broiling rack position chart” in
next column for more information.
. To sear meat, place broiler pan at
one of the higher rack positions so
that meat is very near the flame.
. Smallsteaks may be broiled in the
higher rack positions.
. To cooklarge steaks and other thick
cuts of meat well done, move them
to a lower rack position after
searing.
. Referto a broiling chart in a reliable
cookbookfor correct broiling times.
. After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven when you
remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if it is left in the
heated oven.
FireHazard
. Place meat the correct distanoa
from the burner. Meat placed too
close to the burner may spatter,
smoke, bum or catch fire during
broiling.
n 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 g-mase may
result in fire.
3.Beforethe broiler is turned on,
place food on broiler pan and
position the broiler pan at one of
the three levels. Referto a reliable
cookbookfor broiling chart.

to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.
Before you start

require hand-cleaning.)
. The frame around the oven.
Do not clean, move or bend the

and poor baking/roasting will
result
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have in the
oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan and grid can
be cleaned in the oven only if most
of the soil has been removed by
hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. If
most of the soil has not been
removed, excessive smoking will
occur.
3.Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This will help reduce smokeduring
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, put oven racks on
secondand fourth guides (guides
are counted from bottom to top).
After racks are cleaned in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, they becomeharder
to slide. Seepage 16.
Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove
them by opening a window or by turning
on a vent hood or other kitchen vent
during the cycle.
NOTE:This oven is equipped with an
internal cooling fan. A fan sound will be
heard during a normal Self-Cleaning
cycle.This fan comeson automatically to
keep the electronic controls cool.
Canceling the oven will not turn off this
fan. It will continue running until
electronic controls have sufficiently
cooled.The fan will then automatically
turn off.
Personal Injury And Product
Damage Hazard
. Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. It could burn
YOU.
. Do not use commercial oven
cleaners in your oven. Cleaners
may produce hazardous fumes or
damage the porcelain finish.
. Do not use foil or other liners to
line the oven bottom. During the
Self-Cleaning cycle, foil can burn
or melt and damage the oven
surface.
. Do not block the vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must
move freely for best cleaning
results.
Setting the controls
1.Make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. (See“Setting
the clock” on page 5.)
2. Push the Clean button.
3. To star& cleaning immediately,

special tips
n Keepthe kitchen well ventilated
during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid ofheat, odors and
smoke.
. Clean the oven before it gets
heavily soiled. Cleaning a very
soiled oven takes longer and results
in more smoke than usual
. If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesnot
get the oven as clean asyou
expected, the cycle may not have
been set long enough or you may
not have prepared the oven
properly. Setthe Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean
areasnoted in “Before you start” on
this page.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle
at any time:
1.Push the Cancel button.
2. When the LOCKEDindicator goes
off, you can open the oven door.

How it works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it doesfor baking,
roasting or broiling ... approximately
875°F(46S°C).This heat breaks up
greaseand soil and burns it off.
This graph shows approximate
temperatures and times during a Self-
Cleaning cycle for three hours.
