IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the
oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock,
smoke or fire.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the coil elements, the cooktop, and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
• 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
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven
vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and
windows of oven doors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the appliance.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
heating element will also improve efficiency.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop with knob surface unit controls
while a surface unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as
power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface
unit knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near
the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass
cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently
turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is
turned off may cause them to ignite also.
• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
• Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to
overheating of control knobs.
• Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from
contacting heating elements.

Gas Surface Burners
Before Using the Gas Surface Burners
Read all instructions before using.
WARNING
CAUTION
• Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled
before attempting to operate any burner.
• Never leave the surface burners on unattended. Boilovers may cause
smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line or cover the cooktop, grates, or any
other part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or fire.
• Use the proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or that can be
easily tipped. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover
burner grates.
• To avoid spillovers, make sure the cookware is large enough to contain
the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers
left on the range can ignite.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge
of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on.
Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a
pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
27
IMPORTANT:
Using The Gas Surface Burners
Lighting a Surface Burner
Note:
1. Select a burner and find its control knob.
2. Push the control knob in and turn it to the Ignite position. The electric
spark ignition system will make a clicking noise.
• The use of a gas-cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
• When one burner is turned to Ignite, other burners will spark.
Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at Ignite.
• Do not touch any surface burner components (e.g. burner cap,
burner base, igniter) while the igniters are sparking.
3. Once gas is ignited, turn the control knob to adjust the flame size.
4. To turn off a burner, turn the control knob to the OFF position.

Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the control knob, as you reduce heat. Match the flame
size on a gas burner to the cookware being used for fastest heating.
Note:
• Never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Flames larger
than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be
hazardous.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your range
with a match. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.
1. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match to the burner
2. Push in the control knob, then turn the control knob to the Min. position.
3. Once gas is ignited, turn the control knob to adjust the flame size.
29
Using the Proper Cookware
Aluminum
Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and
evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron
If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Stainless Steel
This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with
copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Enamelware
Under some conditions, the enamel of this cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass
There are two types of glass cookware. Those for oven use only and those for
top-of-range cooking.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic
Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it
can be used on gas ranges.
30
Note:
• Never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware. Flames larger
than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be
hazardous.
• The flame should not extend beyond the bottom edge of the cookware.
Oversized cookware that spans two burners should be placed front to
rear, not side to side.
• Use balanced cookware that sits level on the cooktop grate without
rocking. Center the cookware over the burner.
• Use a lid that fits properly. A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking
time.
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to
save energy when heating.
• Do not use stove top grills on the surface burners. Using a stove top grill
on the surface burner will cause incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be a health hazard.
• If using a wok, use only a flat-bottomed wok with diameter of 14 inches
or less. Make sure that the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
• Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

CAUTION
Oven
Before Using the Oven
Read the instructions for each feature and cooking mode in this manual
carefully before using the oven.
• 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" (3.8 cm) from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
• Do not cover the slotted grid of the 2-piece broiler pan with aluminum
foil. This will catch the grease and could cause fire.
• Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
• Do not place food, water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven
floor, as this will irreversibly damage the enamel surface.
• Do not block, touch or place items around the oven vent during cooking.
Your oven is vented through ducts at the center above the burner grate.
Do not block the oven vent when cooking to allow for proper air flow.
• In case of power failure, do not use the oven. The oven and broiler
cannot be used during a power outage. Do not attempt to operate the
electric ignition during an electrical power failure. If the oven is in use
when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-
lit until power is restored. Once power is restored, you will need to reset
the oven cooking mode.
• As the oven heats up, the heated air in the oven may cause condensation
to appear on the oven door glass. These water drops are harmless and
will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
• An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by blowing
a downward airflow onto a range shall not be used in conjunction with a
gas range.
32
CAUTION
Food Poisoning Hazard
• Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry,
should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should
not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and
should be removed promptly when finished cooking. Consuming
spoiled food can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Before Using the Oven for the First Time
Start the oven in Bake mode at the highest available temperature setting. Allow
oven to run for 1 hour to remove any dust or impurities. There will be a
distinctive odor - this is normal. Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during
this conditioning period.
Oven Vent
Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns.
Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.
Do not block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet
and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly
with correct combustion.
It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture
content.
33
Oven Door
Oven burners and, if in operation, convection fan will temporarily shut off any
time door is opened, and will resume when door is closed within 3 minutes.
Note:
Most oven door contain glass that can break. To avoid oven door glass
breakage:
Using Oven Racks
The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled
out of the oven cavity.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary. If the door is left
open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be
automatically cancelled.
• Do not close the oven door if the racks are not fully inserted into the oven
cavity or if bakeware extends past the front edge of an oven rack.
• Do not set objects on the glass surface of the oven door.
• Do not hit glass surfaces with bakeware or other objects.
• Do not wipe down glass surfaces until the oven has completely cooled.
• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place
anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking
and may damage the oven bottom.
• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
34
Removing Racks
Replacing Racks
1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
Broiling performs best with the food close to the broil heating element -
typically rack position #5 or #6.
Rack Positions
For best cooking results, adjust rack so
food is placed at the center of the
oven. For most foods this will be rack
position #3 or #4. For larger foods like
roasts and turkey, move the rack
position down to #2 or #1 to keep the
food centered in the oven.
When using multiple racks
simultaneously, try to space the food
out around the oven center (rack
positions #3 and #5 or #2 and #4 for
two racks).

Preheating
Preheating is generally desirable, although not absolutely necessary in all
circumstances.
• For oven modes that utilizes preheat, the control will automatically enter
preheat mode and show "PRE" after Start is pressed to turn on the oven.
– Once the set temperature is reached, an indicator tone will sound for
a few seconds to alert the user that preheat is complete.
• Broil and Warm modes do not utilizes preheat, the control will show Hi or
Lo for Broil and 175°F (79°C) for Warm after Start is pressed to turn on the
oven.
Note:
• It is normal for the convection fan to operate during preheating of
various baking modes.
Some foods are more robust and may have acceptable results without
preheating. These foods include large pieces of meat (whole roasts, hams, or
poultry) where the total cooking time is much longer than the time required to
preheat. These foods also include frozen potato products and frozen
processed dinners that, by their nature and design, are more robust to baking
variations. More delicate foods, such breads (including cakes, cookies,
pastries, and pizzas), desserts, soufflés, etc. will likely not have acceptable
results without proper preheating.
36
Minimum & Maximum Default Settings
The various baking modes (Bake and Conv Bake) have a 10-hour time limit,
after which the control will automatically end the baking mode. Broil and Keep
Warm modes have a 3-hour time limit. If desired, these modes can be restarted
after the time limit expires.

• Once the oven reaches the default or set temperature, the oven pauses
heating temporarily. The oven heating cycle will automatically resume to
maintain the set temperature.
• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in
the oven cavity may not show the same set temperature on the oven.
37
Bake
The Bake mode uses heat from the lower heating element to cook food. This
mode works best with food placed on a single rack. Always preheat the oven
first and place food centrally near the middle racks.

• When the preheat has completed, the set temperature appears in
the display and the indicator tone sounds for a few seconds. If a
cooking time is set, the countdown will start.
7. Place the food in the oven.
38
Note:
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary when placing
food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
8. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics,
size, and shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-
ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more
browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for
most foods.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode uses heat from the lower heating element and air
movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and
evenness across multiple racks. Always preheat the oven first. Baking times
may be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a
single rack.
Setting the Convection Bake Mode
For example, to Convection Bake at 375°F.
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
39
2. Press Bake twice to select Convection Bake mode.
The indicator light above Bake flashes.

• When the preheat has completed, the set temperature appears in
the display and the indicator tone sounds for a few seconds. If a
cooking time is set, the countdown will start.
7. Place the food in the oven.
Note:
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary when placing
food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
8. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
40
Note:
• The oven fan runs while convection baking.
• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of
pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Place the oven racks in positions suggested in the "Tips and Techniques"
section.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a
dark finish will cook faster.
Broil
The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper heating element to sear
foods. This mode works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut
vegetables, and is ideal for toasting, melting cheese, browning and searing
surface. Food should be placed near the upper racks, and should not be
cooked for too long on each side of the food.
Setting the Broil Mode
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
2. Press Broil once to select Hi Broil or twice to select Lo Broil.
3. Press Start.
The oven starts to preheat, and HI or LO remains in the display. Keep the
oven door closed.

41
Note:
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary when placing
food. If the door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the
cooking mode will be automatically cancelled.
5. Press Cancel/Off when cooking is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• The oven of this range is designed for closed-door broiling. Opening the
door turns off the broil heating element during broiling. If the door is not
closed, the Broil mode will ultimately cancel itself.
• The broil heating element is very powerful. Follow recipe directions and
monitor food closely to reduce risk of burning food.
• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage.
This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups. Do not use a
broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.
• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will
cause a fire.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm mode uses heat from the lower heating element to maintain
oven temperature at around 175°F (79°C). It will keep cooked food warm for
serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. Cover foods that need to
remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not
required.
Setting the Keep Warm Mode
1. Adjust oven rack levels as needed.
2. Place the hot food in the oven.
42
3. Press Keep Warm to select Keep Warm mode.
4. Press Start.
The oven starts to preheat, and 175F (79°C) remains in the display. Keep
the oven door closed.
Note:
• If the oven door is opened when Start is pressed, the oven will turn
on when the oven door is closed.
5. Press Cancel/Off when warming is finished, and remove the food from the
oven.
Note:
• Do not use to Warm mode to heat cold food. Always start with hot food.
• It is recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.
• The warm mode is intended to keep food warm. Do not use it to cool
food down.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. If the
door is left open too long for over 3 minutes, the cooking mode will be
automatically cancelled.
Tips and Techniques
Bake
Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower element in the oven is used to
heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time
and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients
and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
43
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 3
cm) space between utensils and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish), heatproof glass,
glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from
recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of
the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped
beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the
finish of the oven.
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• See Troubleshooting for tips on solving Oven Problems.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses heat from the lower heating element and air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking efficiency and evenness across
multiple racks. Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C).
• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to
take advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for
best results unless otherwise specified.
• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another
25°F (15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F
(30°C).
• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when
using dark metal bake ware.
• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be
cooked.
• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t
try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or
cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process.
Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to
avoid curling.
• Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes before placing food in the oven.
44
• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is
done on rack positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6. All six racks can be used for cookies,
biscuits and appetizers.
– 2 Rack baking: Use positions 3 and
5 or 2 and 4.
– 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3,
and 4 or 1, 3, and 5 or 2, 4, and 6.
– When baking four cake layers at
the same time, stagger pans so
that one pan is not directly above
another. For best results, place
cakes on front of upper rack and
back of lower rack (See graphic at
right). Allow 1" - 1 ½" (2.5 - 3cm)
air space around pans.
• Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe that will work
well in convection.
• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It may take some
trial and error to achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your technique for
the next time you want to prepare the recipe using convection.
• See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems.
Foods recommended for convection bake mode:
Appetizers, Biscuits, Cakes, Casseroles, Coffee Beans, Cookies (2 to 4 racks),
Cream Puffs, Popovers, Yeast Breads, One-Dish Entrées, Oven Meals (rack
positions 3 and 4), and Air Leavened Foods (Soufflés, Meringue, Meringue-
Topped Desserts, Angel Food Cakes, Chiffon Cakes).
Broil
The Broil mode uses intense heat from the upper heating element to sear
foods. The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling times.

Range Care and Maintenance
Manual Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap,
water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
Note:
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The material of the gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Exterior Porcelain Enamel Surfaces
• Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be
cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the
finish.
Cleaning Method:
• Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently
clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may
remove numbers.
Oven Door Exterior
Cleaning Method:
• Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on panel.
46
Exterior Stainless Steel
• Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.
Cleaning Methods:
• Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner: Rinse well with clean water and
dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
• Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. Vinegar for hard water spots.

CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is designed to use water and a low oven temperature
to generate steam to warm the oven interior surfaces and loosen light soils
before hand-cleaning.
Before Starting Steam Clean
• Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance during the
cleaning cycle. The outside of the range can become hot to the touch.
• During the cleaning cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause
burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• Oven surfaces may be hot after the cleaning cycle. Use caution and wear
rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
• Hot surfaces may create hot steam in wet sponge or cloth while cleaning.
If steam is evident when wiping out oven, wait until oven has cooled
slightly.
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before starting. If your oven
cavity is above 150°F (65°C), HOT will appear in the display when you
attempt to select Steam Clean mode.
• Remove all items from the oven, including oven racks.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers or excess debris. Scrape off and remove any
burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper. (Suggested plastic scrapers
includes hard plastic spatula, plastic pan scraper, plastic paint scraper, and
old credit card.)
• The range should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven
cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of Steam Clean.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral
deposits on the surfaces.
• For improved softening of tough stains, spray inside surfaces with water
spray bottle or wipe surfaces with a wet sponge before starting.
50
Setting Steam Clean
Start with oven at room temperature.
1. Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper.
3. Pour 10 oz or 300 ml of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity.
The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge
all soils.
