Baking and Roasting
The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This
feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before
putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected
temperature will appear on the display.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings.
Use rack 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well-ventilated room.
Do not block the oven vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the
“Oven Vent” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1½"
(3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they
may melt.
■ Remove all items from the storage drawer.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and
popping sounds.
Before cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the
door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Off/Cancel
button on the keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door
will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed. The
cooling fan may continue to run.
Once the self-cleaning temperature has been reached, the
electronic control requires a 12-hour delay before another Self-
Cleaning cycle can be started.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time
(on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and
4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil.
IMPORTANT: When cooktop is in use, the Self-Cleaning cycle
will be disabled. An error tone will sound and the Cooktop On
indicator light will flash. If you turn on the cooktop when the Self-
Cleaning cycle is in use, it will disable the Self-Cleaning cycle and
“END” will be displayed.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to enter
the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The Door Locked and
Clean indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will
also be displayed.
4. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the Door Locked and Clean indicator lights will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a
damp cloth.
To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press
OFF/CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.
