How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove packaging tape
adhesive on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid
dishwashing
detergent, mineral oil
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on the oven parts. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.
Write down the model and
serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a
label
on the front of the
oven behind the oven door.
These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your
oven. Before sending in this card, please write these
numbers here:
Model Number
Serial Number
Use these numbers in any correspondence or service
calls concerning your oven.
If you received a damaged oven...
Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that
sold you the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
●
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
●
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an
open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
●
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
●
Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
●
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
●
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
●
Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
●
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is
firm[y
attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
●
Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
●
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door. They could damage the oven or cause
severe personal injury.
●
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE AN OVEN. CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INmRED.
●
Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
●
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
●
Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch the hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.
●
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
●
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
●
Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the oven.
●
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your oven.
●
For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
●
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
●
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven.

SAFETY
~STRUCTIONS
(condnued)
●
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a dry multi-purpose chemical or
foam-
type fire extinguisher.
●
Never leave the oven door open when you
are
not watching the oven.
●
Do not
touch
the heating elements or the
interior surface of oven. These surfaces maybe
hot enough to burn even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact the
areas nearby or any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices
around the oven door,
the
edges of the door
window and metal trim parts above the
door.
Remember:
The
inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
Q
When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be
killed
and the meat will
be
safe to eat.
Oven
●
Stand away from the oven when opening the
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face
antior
eyes,
●
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.

unobstructed.
●
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
. Place the oven shelf in desired position while
the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holders contact the
heating elements.
4
●
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
●
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
●
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
●
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
●
Do not use aluminum foil
to
line the oven
bottom, except as suggested in this guide.
Improper installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
●
After
brotiing,
always take the broiler pan out of
the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
can catch fire next time you use the pan.
●
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
●
Do not
clean
the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move the gasket.
●
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
Q
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, rack and other cookware.
●
Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care
Guide.
●
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting
the self-cleaning operation.
●
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply,
Have it serviced by a qualified technician,

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look
at
the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly. Read over the directions
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to
use them.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks
of using your
new oven.
NOTE:
● You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the
first few times you turn your oven on. This is
normal in a new oven and
will
disappear in a short
time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for
a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
● A fan may automatically turn on
and
off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when you are removing food
from them or placing food on them.
When placing the cookware on a shelf, pull the
shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place
the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the
hot oven.
To remove
the shelves
from the oven, pull them
toward you, tilt the front
end upward and pull the
shelf out.
To replace,
place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the
stop-
locks (curved extension
of the shel~ facing up and toward the rear of the
oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the
back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the
shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and
push it
all
the way back.
Shelf Positions
The oven has 4 shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies,
● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in
a
lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by
25°F.
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow
1-
to 1 k-inch space between pans as
well
as from the back of
the
oven, the door and the
sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls
or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a
shelf with a cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a

You
may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than
the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven it too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the temperature yourself. If you
think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it
cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat
to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the
foil
tightly around the inside of the pan.
16
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
The oven has
a
probe in the upper oven only.
A temperature probe has been provided for use in
your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand
high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with
other products, such as those used for microwave
ovens, may not be designed to withstand high
temperatures. Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in damage to
the probe.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a
self-
cleaning cycle.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one
end and a plug at the other end that goes into a
receptacle on the oven wall.
Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting
and removing from meat and wall receptacle. Do not
use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the
probe—they might damage it. TO AVOID
BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE SURE FOOD IS
COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEFORE
(appearance may vary)
Handles
After preparing the meat and placing it on a roasting

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the
foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second
side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1.
If
the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about I/8” thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf
position
as
suggested in the Broiling Guide.
Most broiling is done on C position, but if your
oven is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to
use a higher position.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan
and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.
/,)
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a
vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make
clean-up easier.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven may
be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element
for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with
food in oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.
Turn food only once during broiling. You may
need
to move the food to a higher shelf position.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork
also allows the juices to escape. When broiling
poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
21
● Always use the broiler pan and grid that
comes
with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
● For steaks and
chops,
slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat.
To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer
fat
surface just to the edge of the
meat.
Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
●
If
desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
● When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges
hang
c>ver
the sides because the dripping fat
will
soil the oven.
● The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
● The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat
if desired.
● Use LO Broil to cook foods thoroughly such as
poultry or thick pork chops thoroughly without
over-browning them.
● Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide
I
k times per side.
● If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and
position the oven shelf one position higher.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to
siide.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the
self-
clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the outside front of the oven door with
soap and water. Also use soap and water to
clean under the oven vent grille.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the, door
as far as it will go.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven
light
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately. The door latches automatically after
the clean cycle is set.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean-cycle temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of
day, can I still self-clean my oven?
A.
If the clock is not set to the correct time of day
you will not be able to set a delay-clean cycle to
end at a specific time.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
CLEAWOFF pad. Open the windows to rid the
room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled
and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe
up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle. Don’t
wait too long between cleanings.
Q. Can I clean both ovens at the same time?
A. No. The control only allows one oven to clean
at a time.
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there will bean odor during the first few
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after
cleaning?
A.
Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.
It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.
What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose
their luster and become hard to slide. To make the
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports
with cooking oil.
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves
will
lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power for your oven at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to
let the light cover and bulb cool completely before
removing or replacing them. When in use, light bulbs
can
become warm enough to break if touched with a
moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid touching
warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light cover
is removed.
The oven light (bulb) is covered with a removable
glass cover which is held in place with a wire.
Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach the
cover easily.
To
remove:
Hold your hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall
when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly
push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.

damage to the door.
To remove the door,
~~
open it a few inches to the special stop position that
will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:
● Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back
and pinch fingers.
● While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame,
pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
scouring pad.
● Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and

oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damage
in any way or if it has become displaced on the

you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside of the door:
● Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water
run down through openings in the top of the door.
Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel
wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-
cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in
color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. Wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make

Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and

temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
