!
The California Safe Drinking Water and
ToxicEnforcementActrequiresbusinesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to
substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm.
The elimination of soil during self-
cleaning generates some by-products
which are on this list of substances.
To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this oven
according to the instructions in this
manual and provide good ventilation to
the room during and immediately after
self-cleaning the oven.

lock icon appears. If the door does not lock,
touch OVEN OFF and do not run self-
clean. Phone [phone] for service (see
Page 64 for obtaining service).
IMPORTANT: Do not overcook food; fire
could result. Proper cooking depends on
selecting the correct power level and cooking
time for the amount of food in the oven. Smaller
portions of food that are cooked too long may
catch fire.
• Microwave can be used whether the oven is hot
or cold.
• If oven is hot from prior use, only heat-resistant
utensils should be used. Take additional care
when removing item from oven.
•DO NOT operate the microwave, CookSmart
or custom combination modes when the oven
is empty. The microwave energy will reflect
continuously throughout the oven causing
overheating if food or water is not present to
absorb energy. This could damage the oven and
result in risk of fire.

Sights & Sounds
Interpreting the Control Panel
The directions in the Care and Use Manual for setting the oven and its various modes are based on the
assumption that the panel displays and sounds will“lead” or help you set the controls easily. To aid in this path,
the following descriptions provide a basis for interpreting what is seen and heard.
Flashing Symbols or Numbers
Signals an incomplete setting; calls for another step or
START to be touched.
I Beep
Signals the receipt of an entry.
2 Beeps
Signal an error in entry.
4 Chimes
Signal the end of a setting.
Probe Symbol
Displays the internal temperature of the meat rather
than the oven roasting temperature.
Oven tempera-
ture can be seen briefly by touching the cook mode
after touching START.
Lock Symbol
Displays during the Microwave, CookSmart, and Self-
Clean modes and when the door is locked. Do not
attempt to open door when lock symbol is displayed.
Door can be opened when symbol no longer appears.
PAU
Displays when a microwave program is paused or
interrupted and door unlocks.
Err
Displays if an invalid temperature or time is entered.
Power Failure
After the power returns to the oven,the clock displays
the time when the power was lost or turned off.
UPPER
LOWER
Selects the active oven to be set by highlighting the oven
in the mode display window. To use the upper oven,it is
not necessary to touch this pad before selecting the
cooking mode. If the lower oven is in operation, press
the UPPER/LOWER pad to use the upper oven.
Default Settings
The cooking modes automatically select a suitable
temperature. These can be changed when a different
one is needed. CookSmart settings cannot be changed.
Use Custom Combination Mode if a specific combination
setting is preferred (See Page 31).
START
Touch to complete an entry and before entering an
additional one.
UPPER OFF and LOWER OFF
Touch to cancel a mode that has already been started
or completed.
COOK TIME
Sets the number of hours and minutes the oven will be
“on.” Unlike Timer 1 or 2, the oven turns “off” auto-
matically when the time elapses. This pad is used with
the automatic timed oven control.
F Number Codes
These codes are displayed when there is a problem with
the signal sent to the electronic control board.
See Solv-
ing Operational Problems, Page 64.
Convection Fan
The convection fans in both ovens operate during any
convection mode. When the oven is operating in the
convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically
when the door is opened.
An advanced,powerful,high-performance JetDirect con-
vection system is located in the upper oven. This revo-
lutionary impingement convection system moves the
heated air at an extremely high velocity and results in
foods that are cooked in a much shorter time than stan-
dard convection ovens.
This process results in a higher noise level than stan-
dard convection ovens. This is normal.
Component Cooling Fan
Activates during any cooking or self-cleaning mode to
cool inner components and outer door surfaces.This
air is exhausted through the vent located below the
lower oven. It continues to run until components have
cooled sufficiently.

•COOKSMART (CS) combines preprogrammed high-speed convection heat (i.e.JETDIRECT convection) and microwave
energy to cook food in about one-fourth of the conventional cook time.
•COOKSMART modes include:
CS1 – Breads, Desserts CS2 – Vegetables CS3 – Meat, Casseroles CS4 – Frozen Food
•COOKSMART modes can be used to cook a variety of foods, such as small or low-profile roasts and meats,
casseroles, breads and desserts, vegetables and frozen dinners.
• Enter the conventional cook time called for in your recipe. COOKSMART will automatically reduce the time
entered to actual cooking time when preheating starts.
• Select bakeware without a cover that is made of either metal, oven-safe glass or glass ceramic. Metal pans
become hot quickly and will yield more browning.
• Do not allow metal pans to touch in oven.
• Allow 1 inch of space between metal pans and oven walls.
• Do not use paper towels in COOKSMART modes.
• Select rack position before selecting the CS mode. Most COOKSMART cooking is done on upper rack.
• Always preheat oven before placing food in oven.
• Use Pause/Resume to check food early.
• Operate all cooking modes with JetDirect floor plate in place.

CS3 – Meat, Casseroles
• Brush lean cuts of meat and fish with vegetable or
olive oil before roasting to prevent sticking.
• Check food for doneness with meat thermometer
at minimum time.
• When a recipe has a two-step temperature/time
cooking method,such as rack of lamb,use the total
time from both steps to set cook time.
• Marinated and non-marinated meats require the
same cooking time.
• Because of the combination of thermal heat
with microwave, foods will continue to cook
and internal temperatures will rise during
standing time.
CAUTION!
When roasting, open the door carefully. There may
be an accumulation of steam, smoke and spattering of
fats due to speed of cooking.
