Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement

  • Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1’’ to 1 1/2’’ of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

  • The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack
Rack Position Best For
5 hamburgers, steaks, toasting bread, broiling most meats, melting cheese
4 thicker meats
3 broiling poultry, most baked goods on a cookie sheet or baking pan using a single rack, includes frozen convenience foods, cakes, casseroles, frozen pizza
2 small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes, pies, breads
1(lowest usable position) large roasts, turkey, angel food cake

Aluminum Foil

  • WARNING Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

  • Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
  • Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil and Warm modes.
  • Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes.
  • Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
  • Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
  • Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
  • Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.

Preheat Reminders: Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.

  • The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.
  • Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and some frozen foods.
  • Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.
  • Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F. When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

  1. Use the cooking recommendation charts as a guide. See charts at the end of the book.
  2. Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
  3. Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
  4. Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

  • Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25°F when using this type of dish. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
  • Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
  • Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
  • Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25°F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
  • Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
  • Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door.
  • Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven.

Opening the Oven Door

  • Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door.

High Altitude Baking

  • When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.
  • For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

  • It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Cleaning and Maintenance-Oven

Cleaning the Oven

Self-Clean

WARNING - WHEN USING THE SELF-CLEAN SETTING

  • During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small amounts of Carbon Monoxide can be created and the fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.
  • Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. During the Self Clean cycle, parts of the appliance may become potentially harmful to persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions.
  • Do not block the oven vent(s) during the selfcleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
  • When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.

During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.

CAUTION - AVOID RISK OF DAMAGE

Notes

  • The oven light cannot be turned on during selfcleaning.
  • The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished components in the oven can become discolored over time. This is normal and does not affect operation. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners to treat discolorations.

Avoid These Cleaners

  • Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may damage the oven finish or parts.
  • Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleansers are corrosive to stainless steel. Check ingredients on label.
  • Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Oven Cleaning Guide

Part Recommendations
Flat Rack

thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soapfilled pads as directed. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.

If the flat racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then wipe off excess.

Maintenance

Replacing an Oven Light

CAUTION WHEN REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT:

  • Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
  • The lenses must be in place when using the appliance.
  • The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.
  • The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass could cause an injury.
  • Light socket is live when door is open

Bulb Specifications:

Bulb Description Bulb Image
40 watt, appliance bulb, standard Edison base

To Change the Bulb:

  • Turn off the power to the oven at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).
  • Remove the glass cover by unscrewing it. Turn the glass counterclockwise to remove it.
  • Remove the bulb. The bulb unscrews counterclockwise.
  • Grasp the new bulb with a clean, dry cloth to prevent depositing skin oils on the glass which could lead to premature bulb failure. Replace the bulb by screwing it in turning the bulb clockwise.
  • Screw the glass cover back on.
  • Turn power back on at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).

How to Remove the Oven Door

WARNING

  • Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
  • The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.
  • Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury.
  • Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.
  • To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be sure both levers are securely in place before removing the door. Also, do not force door open or closed-the hinge could be damaged and injury could result.
  • Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.

To help avoid injury or damage, be sure to read the above WARNING before attempting to remove the oven door.

1. Open the oven door to its fully open position.

2. Flip levers on hinges toward you.

Note: It may be necessary to use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing.

3. Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down position as shown in the illustration. The left and right door hinges differ slightly but operate in the same manner.

4. Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door removal. The door will be open about 7 inches at the top. This takes the spring tension off the hinges so the door can be easily lifted out.

CAUTION PINCH HAZARD Closing the door 7” takes the pressure off of the spring. If this isn’t done, the door can still be removed but the latch will now slam shut and will pinch or cut your hand.

5. The door is heavy. Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides. Do not grip the door by the handle. Maintaining the door angle, lift the door straight up approximately 3/4” to unhook the hinges from the slots and then pull it out towards you until the hinges are clear of the oven housing.

6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.

How to Replace the Oven Door

1. Holding the door firmly in both hands, grip it on either side, not by the handle.

2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you until it opens about 7 inches at the top.

3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go and then lower the door straight down. The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to lower into place. The door should lower about 3/4” and stop. If not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.

4. Once both hinges are fully engaged as described in Step 3, gently open the door until it is fully open.

5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot and flush with the front of the oven body.

6. Close and open the door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place.
