Using the Oven

Baking, Broiling And Toasting

Baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.

Broiling allows you to broil foods in the same way as a conventional oven.

Toasting allows you to toast foods the same way as a conventional oven.

A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.

Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place. Use the metal tray at all times when baking.

CAUTION: When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1%" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

Oven Racks

Your oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Extension Racks

Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install feature is locked into place, always pull the rack out, by its upper front rail, to its full extension stop position, when placing or removing cookware.

If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

To order additional graphite lubricant, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its lower handles on two sides and lift straight up to unlock the rack from the rack supports.
3. Firmly holding onto both the upper front rail and lower handles on both sides, pull the rack forward. Grasp the rack on both sides if necessary. Then remove it from the oven.

To Replace An Extension Rack:

1. Place the rear portion of the rack onto the rack supports (guides) as shown in the picture.
2. Hold the upper front rail and lower handles and push the rack all the way in until the install feature locks into the front rack support.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

Traditional Flat Racks

The racks have stops so that when placed correctly on the supports they will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

To Remove a Rack

Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace a Rack

Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the stop-locks) and lower it into position. Push the rack all the way in.

If flat racks are difficult to slide and/or remove, place some cooking oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the sides of the rack and each rack support.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION : Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25° F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning The Oven

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Helpful Hints

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Also we recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven.

Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

How To Clean The Upper Oven Interior

Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth; then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven.

Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Door Seal

It's important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Removable Turntable

The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle.

The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water. Dry completely and replace.

To replace the turntable, place its center over the spindle in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place. (Make sure the smooth side of the turntable is facing up and that its center seats securely on the spindle.)

Cooking Trays And Baking Sheet

To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may be used to clean the trays.

How To Clean The Lower Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Steam Clean Mode

Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self Clean.

To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door. Press the Options pad, select Steam Clean, and then press Start. The oven door will lock. You can not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil.

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self-clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Press the Options pad, select Self Clean, and a default self-clean time is displayed.

The clean time can be changed to 3:00, 4:00, or 5:00 hours by using the selector dial. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after selecting the Self Clean. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Lower Oven Racks

The racks that were provided with your oven (dark enameled racks, not shiny) may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged.

To manually clean racks, use warm, soapy water. Make sure not to wash the rack slides on an extension rack.

If racks become more difficult to remove from the oven, put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the oven rack supports. Do not wipe the oil on an extension rack slide.

Periodically, after several self-clean cycles, the extension rack slides may need to be lubricated using the graphite lubricant shipped with your wall oven. To order additional graphite lubricant read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual.

1. Remove extension rack from the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section.

2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for easy clean up.

3. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced.

4. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with left slide mechanism of the rack, place four (4) small drops of lubricant on the two (2) bottom tracks of the slide close to the bearing carriers.

5. Repeat for the right slide mechanism of the rack.

6. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

7. Replace the cap on the lubricant and shake it again. Turn the rack over and repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.

8. Close the rack, turn rack right-side-up and place in the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section.

9. Repeat above steps for each rack.

NOTE: Do not spray with cooking spray or other lubricant sprays.
