Using the warming drawer

ABOUT THE WARMING DRAWER

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not use to warm cold food other than bread, crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat.

• Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will impede the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish.

• Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.

• All foods placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

• Remove serving spoons, etc. before placing containers in the warming drawer.

• Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

Plastic containers or plastic wrap will melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty

TURNING THE WARMING DRAWER ON OR OFF

1. Set the warming drawer to the heat level you want.

Press Warming Drawer once for low, twice for medium, or 3 times for high, or 4 times for off.

The warming drawer starts automatically once you have finished selecting the level you want.

2. To turn the warming drawer off, press Warming Drawer until the warming drawer turns off.

• Pressing Oven Off does not turn the warming drawer off.

• The warming drawer cannot be used during a self-cleaning cycle.

Recommended settings

• Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not leave foods in the warming drawer for longer than 1 hour. Do not leave smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs, for longer than 30 minutes.

• The warming drawer will shut off automatically after 3 hours.

Maintaining your appliance

SELF-CLEANING

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Before a self-cleaning cycle

• We recommend venting your kitchen by opening a window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the self-cleaning cycle.
• Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
• The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.
• Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. (Fig. 2)
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.

How to run a self-cleaning cycle

1. Select the length of time for the self-cleaning operation, eg. 3 hours.

Press Self Clean once for a 3 hour clean time, twice for a 4 hour clean time, or 3 times for a 5 hour clean time.

The default setting is 3 hours.

2. Start the self-cleaning cycle.

Press Oven Start/Set. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.

3. When the self-cleaning cycle is done, End will show in the display and a beep will sound 6 times.

• You will not be able to start a self-cleaning cycle if the control lockout feature is activated or if the oven’s temperature is too hot.

• The oven door locks automatically. The display will show the cleaning time remaining. It is not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops to a safe/cool temperature.

• The self-cleaning feature will not operate when the warming drawer is on.

How to delay the start of self-cleaning

1. Press Self Clean. Select the desired self-clean time by pressing Self Clean.

How to turn off the self-cleaning feature

You may find it necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to smoke in the oven.

1. Press Oven Off.

2. You will be able to open the oven door once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 hour.

After a self-cleaning cycle

• You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. (If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.)

• If the oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat the cycle.

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

STEAM-CLEANING

How to set the oven for steam-cleaning

For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavier-duty cleaning of debris and grease, use the self-cleaning function.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.

2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

Use normal water only, not distilled water.

3. Press Steam Clean.

4. Press Oven Start/Set. When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep will sound.

5. Press Oven Off.

6. Clean the oven’s interior.

There will be a significant amount of water remaining on the bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.

When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.

If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100 ˚F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.

After a steam-cleaning cycle

• Take care when opening the door after a steam-cleaning procedure has ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
• Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.
• Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
• If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.
• For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.
• After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15 ° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry thoroughly.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE OVEN

Oven vent

• The oven vent is located below the control box.

• This area could become hot during oven use.

• It is normal for steam to come out of the vent.

• The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this vent.

Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim

• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot and soapy water.

• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces. They can scratch.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces

1. Shake the bottle of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish well.

2. Place a small amount of Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.

3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.

4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.

5. Repeat as necessary.

• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.

• If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or polish.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE GLASS COOKTOP

Normal daily use cleaning

Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective.

By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop.

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

CHANGING THE OVEN LIGHT

The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. It will come on when the oven door is open. When the oven door is closed, press OVEN LIGHT to turn it on or off. It will not work during a self-cleaning cycle.

1. Make sure the oven and the bulb are cool.
