For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (not provided). 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. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
Select 550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select 450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such a poultry to avoid over browning.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door and set the control.

6.Press CANCEL for the selected oven when finished.
7.Remove food from the oven.
Convection Cooking - Upper Oven Only
(on some models)
During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.
During the Convect function, the ring element, bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan turns off immediately and the element(s) will turn off after 30 seconds. Once the door is closed, the element(s) will turn back on.
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with a method such as a toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 different places, including the thickest part.
Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
When using more than one rack, position bakeware/ cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
For optimal cooking results, do not cover food.
When roasting poultry and meat, use a broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless recommended in the recipe.
To order a broiler pan, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

OVEN CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
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.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
Hand 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. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
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.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 4 hour clean cycle. However, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil and between 4 hours and 5 hours for average to heavy soil.
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.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On some models, the surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
When the lock symbol shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when the lock symbol is displayed.

“CLN COMPLETE will scroll in the selected oven text area. “OVEN COOLING” will scroll in the display until the oven temperature falls below 500°F (260°C).
“UNLOCKING” will be displayed until the oven door unlocks and the lock icon turns off.
Steam Clean (on some models)
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives with Steam Clean.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more difficult it may be to remove.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, pour 10 oz (295 mL) of distilled or filtered water onto the oven bottom.
The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 25 minutes. “Wipe the oven” will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.
For double ovens, only one oven can run Steam Clean at a time. When running Steam Clean, the other oven should not be in use.
Helpful Hints
Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.
Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. This may help with more stubborn stains.
If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help loosen debris for easier removal.
Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
Food spills containing sugar, proteins or starches may require vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
