Oven Safety
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under
warning symbols. Please pay special
attention to these symbols and follow any
instructions given. Here is a brief explana-
tion of the use of the symbol.
This symbol alerts you
to hazards such as
fire, electrical shock,
or other injuries.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
General
• Read all instructions before using
the oven.
• Install or locate the oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. The oven
must be installed by a qualified
installer. The oven must be
properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
oCAUTION: Do not store things
children might want above the
oven. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
eDo not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
oven is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the oven. They could be
burned or injured.
eDo not operate the oven if it is
damaged or not working properly.
• Do not use the oven for warming
or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
eUse the oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
• Do not touch heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Heating
elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable mate-
rials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the oven, such
as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening,
and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
eDo not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot heating element and you
could be burned.
*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
oKeepoven vents unobstructed.
oDo not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
eUseonly cookware approved for
oven use. Follow cookware
manufacturer's instructions,
especially whenusingglassor
plasticcookware.
eDo not storeflammable materials
on or near the oven. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
eDo not repair or replace anypart
of the oven unless specifically
recommendedin this manual.All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualifiedtechnician.
eDisconnectthe electrical supply
beforeservicing the oven.
When using the oven
oDo not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or flat tray. Flaming grease out-
side of pan can be extinguished
with baking soda or, if available,
a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
eAIways position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating
elements in oven.
eUse care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Care and cleaning
eSmall amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle
from fiberglass insulation and
food decomposition. Significant
exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with a hood or open
window and wiping out excess
food spills prior to self-cleaning.
• 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.
eBefore self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other cookware.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use
and Care Guide.
*Do not clean door seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the seal. Clean only
parts recommended in this Use
and Care Guide.

Oven settings
This chart tells you when to use each setting. It also explains what elements heat up for
each setting.
SETTING DIAGRAM SETTING INFORMATION
BAKE
Use this setting for stan-
dard baking and roasting.
• The bottom element and top
element heat up.
• During baking, the elements will
turn on and off to maintain the
oven temperature.
BROIL
Use this setting for broiling
regular-sized and smaller
cuts of meat, poultry, and
fish.
• The top element heats during Broil.
CONVECTION
Use this setting for baking
and roasting with convec-
tion. Use also when
cooking food on two racks.
CLEAN
Use this setting for self-
cleaning only.

l
• The bottom element and top
element heat up.
• During convection cooking, the
elements will turn on and off to
maintain the oven temperature.
• For even heating, the fan at the
back of the oven circulates air in
the oven cavity.
• The bottom element and top
element heat up.
12
Positioning racks and pans
General guidelines Rack placement for specific
foods:
=Before turning on the oven, place oven
racks where you need them.
• To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front
and pull out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect
your hands, if rack(s) must be moved while
the oven is hot.
• For baking/roasting with one rack,
place the rack so the top of the food will
be centered in the oven.
• When baking on two racks, arrange
racks on the second and fourth level
from bottom.
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
• For most baking, reduce the oven
temperature by 25°F, but use the same
baking time when using ovenproof glass-
ware or dark pans. These pans absorb
heat, producing darker bottom browning
and crispier crusts. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature called
for in the recipe.
FOOD RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large Lowest level or
roasts, turkeys, angel 2nd level from
food cakes bottom
Bundt cakes, most 2nd level from
quick breads, yeast bottom
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits, 2nd or 3rd level
muffins, cakes, from bottom
nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For recommended rack placement
when broiling, see "Broiling rack position
chart" on page 22.
13
For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven. This results in better baking.
• Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
• For best results, allow 1½ to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls.
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
a time.
Use the following as a guide to determine
where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly
over another.
Using aluminum foil for baking
• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
• Do not line oven bottom with foil or other
liners. It could affect the quality of your
baking.
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
from pies or casseroles:
• Place the foil on the oven rack below the
rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and
make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm)
larger all around than the dish holding
the food.

The recommended rack position is numbered lowest (1) to highest (5). For best results, as a
general rule, turn meat over after approximately _ of the broiling time. Turn chicken pieces
over after approximately 1½of the broiling time. Thinner cuts, such as fish fillets, may not
need to be turned. Broil with the door closed.

Broiling tips
,, Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain excess liquid
and grease away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.
=Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
• Preheat only when recommended and for
the shortest time possible.
="Oven peeking" may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking results. Rely on your timer to keep
track of the cooking time.
,, After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave
it in the heated oven.
,, Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time to bake is right after a
meal has been cooked in oven.
• Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven. When using the oven to cook
one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in
it also.
• Do not preheat when broiling, roasting, or
cooking items such as casseroles.
23
Using the electronic
The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn
the oven on and off at times you set, even
when you are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for
foods which do not require a preheated
oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do
not use delayed time cooking for cakes,
cookies, etc. - they will not rise properly.
This section discusses two methods for
starting baking/roasting now and stopping
automatically later, and three methods for
starting and stopping baking/roasting
automatically. Read this section carefully to
choose which method(s) is best for you.
MEALTIMER* control
Before using the electronic MEALTIMER
control, make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. (See "Setting the clock"
on page 9.)
NOTE: These examples are for double
upper ovens only. Other ovens may look
slightly different.
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than
one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in death, food
poisoning, or sickness.
To start cooking now and stop automatically:
Method 1 - Using Cook Time:
1. Prepare oven.
Position the oven rack(s) properly and
put food in the oven. For correct rack
placement, see "Positioning racks and
pans" on page 13.
2. Choose setting.

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle
with the easy-to-use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep
our oven spotless.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
Before you start
DO NOT
hand-clean

Before you start the Self-Cleaning
cycle, make sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad
for cleaning.
NOTES:
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal.
Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
• DO NOT let water, cleaner, etc., enter
slots on door and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
pots and pans being stored in the oven.
36
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.
The chrome broiler pan and grid will
discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 42.) tf you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
NOTES:
• Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.
• The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.

Specia| tips
* Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,
odors, and smoke.
. After the oven is cool, wipe up any
residue or ash with a damp cloth or
sponge, tf any spots remain, clean with a
mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.
* Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer
and results in more smoke than usual.
* If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean areas
noted on page 36.

i==,
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3½-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.
You can set the cycle anywhere between
21½and 41½hours. (See "Setting the con-
trois" on page 37.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 31½-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours to cool
the oven enough so the door can be
unlocked.
