IMPORTANT SAFETY
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon monoxide during the clean-
ing cycle. Exposure can be m|ntmlzed by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:
To remove adhesive left from packing tape and
ensure you do not damage the tinish of your new
appliance, use an application of household liquid
dish washing detergent, mineral oil, or cooking
oil. Apply with soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe
willh son cloth. DO NOT use plastic pad or
equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appli-
ance polish tlo thoroughly clean and protect the
surface. This procedure is also safe for the face
of microwave doors and other plastic parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape mus11 be removed from
chrome trim on oven parts, it CANNOT be
removed if baked on.

OVEN COOKING
GENERAL RULES
.When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and is apt to be more accurate than the oven it
replaced_
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
ityourself. SeeTEtViPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
in this manual.
.NO PEEKING-- Opening the door too often to check
food during baking will allow heat loss and may
cause poor baking results.
, There may be some odor when the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
insulation.
•Do not cover an entire oven rack with folio The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results_ Do not place any foil directly abovethe bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface, therefore, it
should not be used.
PREHEATING
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Watch for the Preheat indicator
Light to come on or listen fora preheat notification
tone to sound. If your oven is not equipped with
either of these, preheat for 10 minutes before you
put the food in the oven_
.Cakes, muffins, and quick breads should be baked
in shiny pans --to reflect the heat -- because they
should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and
pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-
shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat -- because they
should have a brown, crisp crust.
• Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
•Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures If exterior of pan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven-proof glass.
BAKING:
•Always follow recipe carefully.
•Measure ingredients properly°
• Use proper pan and rack placement to obtain the
best cooking results.
NOTE:
The top position is only aguide. It cannot be used
as a rack position.
RACK POSITIONS
BAKEWARE
• Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly°
NOTE: YOUR OVEN HAS FOUR (4)
RACK POSITIONS,
NEOVC63

Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to 1 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
When baking several items, stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another°
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. improper
air movement causes uneven browning and cooking
TO BAKE iN THE LOWER OVEN:
1. Turn OVEN SET knob to BAKE.
2o Turn OVEN TEMP knob to temperature on recipe.
3. When baking iscomplete turn OVEN SET knobto OFF,
The oven will start to heat automatically. You will see
100 degrees showing in the upper right corner of the
display. As the oven heats this temperature will change
until it reaches your selected temperature, then a tone
will sound.

Remember:
Most meats continue to cook internally after being taken
out of the oven.
Never let food, such as dairy prod-
ucts, fish, poultry, etc., sit for more
than 1 hour before cooking starts
'when you set your oven for adelay
start. Room temperature promotes
the growth of harmful bacteria. Be
sure the oven light is off because
heat from the bulb will speed bac-
terial growth.

BROILI]NG
BROILRNG TIPS:
Please note:
Your oven door should
be open to the broil stop
position while broiling.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling, They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
.Do not preheat when broiling. For even broiling
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
•Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chop& Slit
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling_
• For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking. It is not necessary to turn fish.
Broil chicken skin side down.
Never leave asoiled broiler pan in the oven.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. See the section on safety.
The closer the food isto the broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink in the
center, Moving the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the center whlle browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1 -2 minutes longer than
side two°

THI SELFo©LE H ©V©L (3 xouRs ° NORmaL CLEAN THEE)
BEFORE A ©LEAN CYCLE
1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, all
utensils and any foil that may be in the oven° Do not
try to clean utensils or any other objects in the oven
during a self-clean cycle, ltf oven _'acks are _eft in
the range during a clean cycle, they will darken_
lose their luster and become hard to slide, if
you choose to leave the racks in the oven_ you
can polish the edges of the racks with steel
wOOl and apply a smaill amount of vegetable oil
to the rack edges after the self.clean cycle.
This will make the racks easier to slide.
2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket
and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1"tnto the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle_
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad° We
recommend a cleanser such as 'Soft Scrub®' brand
or a similar cleaning product to keep white surfaces
looking clean and new. After cleaning, rinse well to
help prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is hea_ed. Buff these areas dry with a dry cloth.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMEHT
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with it,
following the times given in your recipes as aguide.
Youroven hasbeen preset tomaximize cooking efficiency.
If you think your new oven is too hot (burning foods), or
not hot enough (foods are under-cooked) you can adjust
the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture of
foods is a better Indicator of oven accuracy than an
inexpensive oven thermometer. We do not recommend
the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as
those found in the grocery store, to readjust the
temperature setting of your new oven. These
thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F. Also, you must open
the oven door to read the thermometer and this changes
the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F higher (iffoods are under-cooked)
or 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature
inyour recipe, then bake° The results ofthis "test" should
give you an idea of how much the temperature should be
changed.
"re adjust temperature follow these instructions:
1. Press the BAKE pad_
2_ Press the UP arrow pad to set 550 °and
IIMiVlEDIATELY press and HOLD the
BAKE pad for 10 seconds until the
clock disappears and thedisplay shows
a two digit figure.
.
1
(This two digit number may vary
according to the original factory
setting.)
Press the UP arrow to increase your
oven'stemperature up to +35 °HOTTER.
Press the DOWN arrow pad todecrease
your oven's temperature down to -35 °
COOLER.
When your selection is complete press
the CLOCK pad to return to the time of
day.
Your oven's thermostat will retain this temperature
adjustment until each of the four steps above are
repeated. This adjustment will remain in memory even
after a power failure.
You will not need to do anything else. Bake as you
normally would° This adjustment will not affect broil or
clean temperature.
18
The temperature in your new oven has been set cor-
rectly at the factory, so be sure to follow the recipe
temperatures and times the first few times you bake in
your new oven.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can
adjust it yourself° To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F higher or
lowerthan the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The
results of this "test" should glve you an idea of how
much the temperature should be changed.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermom-
eters, such as those found in grocery stores, to readjust
the temperature setting of your new oven. These ther-
mometers can vary by 20°°40°F. Your oven has been
preset to maximize cooking efficiency.
MAKES OVEN HOTTER MAKES OVEN COOLER
To adjust temperature:
1. Turn OVEN SET knob to OFF and remove the oven
temp knob by pulling straight off.
2. Look at the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to
the center of the upper screw indicates the original
factory setting. The knob can be adjusted up to 50°F
hotter or 50°F cooler, in 10° increments.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws about 1
turn each.
4. Hold the knob handle (A on illustration) while turning
the knob skirt (B on illustration) in the desired
direction. As you turn you should be able to hear
clicks and feel notches or teeth. Each click or notch
is 10% You can turn up to 5 clicks or notches ineither
direction.
5o When you reach the desired adjustment, retighten
both screws.
6. IMPORTANT: Before you replace the OVEN
TEMP knob, carefully read the instructions for
replacing the knob on page t 5, Do not force
the knob onto the thermostat stern or you may
damage it.
