Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2" (13 mm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
• Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2" (13 mm) between pans and the broil element.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide for positioning racks.

Rack Positions: Upper and Lower Oven

Broiling

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in position 6. Side 1 should cook for approximately 3 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Traditional Cooking

Rack Position 1 or 2: Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt cakes, quick breads, pies

Rack Position 2: Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and poultry

Rack Position 2 or 3 when single-rack baking; 2 and 5 when multi-rack baking: Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes

Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 5 with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 2" (5.0 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front of the cakes.

Baking Cookies on Two Racks

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use rack positions 2 and 5.

Bakeware - To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

1 Center of rack

2 Side by side or slightly staggered.

2 or 3 Refer to the previous illustration.

NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark, dull, non-stick, or glass pans may require shorter baking times, in contrast insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.

Oven Vent(s)

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating - When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven, will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Rapid Preheat - Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle. IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.

Oven Temperature - While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “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.

Baking and Roasting

The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Frozen Bake: Frozen Bake Technology automatically adjusts the manufacturer’s bake time by combining preheating and baking to deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait. There are multiple preprogramed food options. When using Frozen BakeTM Technology, it is important that you follow all manufacturer’s instructions including venting, covering, stirring or placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking frozen meals, only cook items that provide instructions for cooking in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the center of the rack and select one of the rack positions recommended for Frozen Bake in the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section and bake only one package or pan at a time. Use the temperature and maximum bake time from the package. A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add additional cook time if needed.

Broiling

When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

• 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.

OVEN CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

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 the “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 11 /2" (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 high-temp 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 is normal and 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. Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for medium soil, and 5 hours for 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 lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.

Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.

1. Touch the Tools keypad.
2. Select the Self Clean icon. (On double-oven models) Select Upper Cavity or Lower Cavity.
3. Select type of Self-Cleaning: Steam: 1 hour: Clean up after everyday light spills using lower heat and 11 /4 cups (295.74 mL) of water. High temp: 4 hours: 3 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling. High temp: 5 hours: 4 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling. High temp: 6 hours: 5 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
4. Follow the prompts on the oven display to prepare the oven.
5. Select START to begin the cleaning process. OR Select DELAY START to set a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle. See the “To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle” Section.
6. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle: Follow steps 1 through 4 above, then:

1. Select DELAY START.
2. Select the start time of when the Self-Cleaning cycle should begin by scrolling from left to right.
3. Select START DELAY. The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start countdown. When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.
4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To Stop Self-Cleaning Anytime: Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad for single oven models, or the keypads for double oven models. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.

Steam Clean

IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle. Touch the Oven Cancel keypad for single oven models and the Upper/Lower keypads for double oven models at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

Helpful Hints

• Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is completely cooled, remove all remaining water 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.
• 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.
• If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Cleaning cycle. The
• Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the debris, resulting in a more effective self-cleaning.

To Steam Clean:

1. Open the oven door of the selected oven and remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
2. Pour 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water into the oven bottom. Then close the oven door.
3. Touch the Tools keypad. (On double-oven models) Select Upper Cavity or Lower Cavity.
4. Select STEAM CLEAN.
5. Select START.
6. After approximately 1 hour, a tone will sound to signal the end of the cycle. Touch the keypad for single oven models and the keypads for double oven models to clear the display.
7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove any excess water with a sponge or cloth and wipe down oven interior. If needed, use a non-scratch copper scrubbing pad to remove stubborn soils.

General Cleaning
