Oven Racks

Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1%" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Removing and Replacing Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.

To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.

NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal cooking performance.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Caution 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” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Oven Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.

Bake

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/ Enter.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat primarily from the rear element but also heat from the upper and lower elements, along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start/Enter.

Convection Roast

This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests or use the probe when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/ Enter.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.

Broiling can be used for foods that would typically be grilled.

Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance center the food below the broil heating element.

Press the Broil pad twice for High or once for Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you liket o be cooked all the way through. It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes. Then press Start/Enter.

Air Fry

Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only. Press the Air Fry pad, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F. Preheating is not recommended for this mode. Follow traditional oven recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.

Baked Goods

The Baked Goods mode is designed for cooking cakes, breads, cookies, and similar foods on a single rack. This mode is designed to provide lighter top browning and better volume. Some foods may require slightly longer cook times relative to when cooked in the traditional bake mode. Press Cooking Options and select Baked Goods than follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Frozen Snacks

The Frozen Snacks modes are designed to cook frozen foods such as potato nuggets, French fries, and similar frozen snacks and appetizers. Most foods will cook within package recommended time. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Press Cooking Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Use Frozen Snacks Single when cooking frozen snacks on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Snacks Multi when cooking frozen snacks on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.

Frozen Pizza

The Frozen Pizza modes are designed to cook frozen pizzas. Most pizzas will cook within package recommended times. Adjust cooking time according to individual preferences. Press Cooking Options and select Frozen then follow any display prompts to access this mode.

Use Frozen Pizza Single when cooking on a single rack. This mode does not require preheating the oven. Food should be placed in the oven before or immediately upon starting this mode.

Use Frozen Pizza Multi when cooking on two racks simultaneously. This mode includes a preheating cycle to prepare the oven for multi-rack baking.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a higher temperature for up to 3 hours. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips, or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. Press the Warm pad and then press Start/Enter.

Proof

Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. NOTE: Do not use the Proof mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures. Press Cooking Options and select Proof then follow any display prompts or press the Proof pad (on some models) to access this mode.

Oven Air Vents

Never 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.

Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.

Oven Probe

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.

Proper Probe Placement

After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

  • Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
  • The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
  • For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
  • For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
  • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
  • For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
  • For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage

The temperature probe can only be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.

To use the probe with preheating:

  1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.
  2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
  3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.
  4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

  1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
  2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
  3. Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads. Select Probe pad, then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

  • Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
  • Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet
  • To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
  • To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
  • To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
  • Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
  • Do not store the probe in the oven.

Oven Cooking Guide

Oven Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.

Cookware used in broil modes and air fry must be broil-safe.

Air Fry Cooking Guide

Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. Press the Air Fry pad, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F.

Air Fry Cookware Guidelines

  • Only use broil safe cookware when using Air Fry mode.
  • A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan promotes better browning and crisping.
  • Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking basket.

General Tips for Air Fry Mode

  • General Tips for Air Fry Mode
  • The Air Fry mode is designed for cooking on a single rack.
  • The Air Fry mode is designed to be used without preheating.
  • Rack position 4 is recommended for most foods. Use rack position 3 for thicker foods.
  • Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven.
  • When air frying foods with sauce, it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
  • If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.
  • For packaged foods, use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.
  • It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
  • Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not overload the pan.
  • Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached. Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages and at IsItDoneYet.gov.

CARE AND CLEANING

  4. Close the door.
  5. Press the Clean pad, select Self Clean and then press Start/Enter.

You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle. The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and wipe any ash out of the oven.

Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity during self clean.

Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Door and Drawer

Cleaning the Oven Door

Cleaning the Door Interior

Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door .

Wipe dish soap over any baked-on spatters on the glass. Use a single sided safety razor blade to clean it off. Then wipe over the glass with a soapy cloth to remove any residue and dry off.

The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soapfilled plastic scouring pad. Do not rub or clean the door gasket - it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

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.

Cleaning the Door Exterior

If a stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Do not use this method on any other surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. For your safety do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do the bulb may break.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket and pull the cover off. Remove the bulb.

To replace:

Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

NOTE:

  • A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.
  • Reconnect electrical power to the oven once the new bulb is installed.
  • For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift door by the handle.

To Remove the Door:

  1. Fully open the door.
  2. Pull the hinge locks up and away from the range frame to the unlocked position.
  3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
  4. Close door until the top of the door is approximately 6” from the range frame.
  5. Lift door up and away from the range until both hinge arms are clear of the slots in the range frame.

To Replace the Door:

  1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door near the top.
  2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, rest the notch on the underside of the left hinge arm on the bottom edge of the left hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot. Repeat for the right side.
  3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the notches in the bottoms of the hinge arms have not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot. Lift the door off the range and repeat previous step.
  4. Push the hinge locks toward the range cavity and down to the locked position.
  5. Close the oven door.

Troubleshooting Tips

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings? Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.

For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide.

If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. See the Settings section.

Food does not bake properly Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. See the Cookware section.
Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Settings section.
Food does not broil properly Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.
Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.
Cookware not suited for broiling. Use a pan specifically designed for broiling.
Aluminum foil on the broil pan has not been fitted properly or slit to drain grease. If using aluminum foil on broil pan, wrap tightly and add slits conforming to those in the pan to allow grease to drain.
Oven temperature too hot or too cold Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Cooking Modes section.
Oven and/or display appears not to work A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Oven controls improperly set. See the Using the Oven section.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Sabbath Mode section.
The clock is turned off. See the Settings section.
“Crackling” or “popping” sound This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions. This is normal.
Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven? Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles. This is normal.
Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature Cookware, food, and/or number of racks in oven. Cookware, food, and racks in the oven will cause differences in preheat times. Remove excess items to reduce preheat time.
Oven light does not work Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb. See the Maintenance section for instructions on how to replace the bulb.
Oven will not self-clean The temperature is too high to set a self-clean operation. Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Excessive smoking during clean cycle Excessive soil or grease. Press the Cancel/Off pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the LOCKED light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Oven not clean after a clean cycle Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period of time.
Strong “burning” or “oily” odor emitting from the vent This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section. This is temporary.
Excessive smoking during broiling Food too close to burner element. Lower the rack position of the food.
Oven door will not open or LOCKED light is on when you want to cook. The oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature. Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool below the locking temperature.
"LOCK DOOR" flashes in the display The self-clean cycle has been selected but the door is not closed. Close the oven door.
“F— and a number or letter” flash in the display You have a function error code. Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation. If the function code repeats, disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error code repeats again, call for service.
Power outage, clock flashes Power outage or surge Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting any cooking function.
Lock Controls or Control Lockout feature is activated If LOC ON appears in the display, the range control is locked. Turn this feature off to use the range. See the Lock Control feature in the Oven Controls section.
Burners do not light Plug on range is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet. Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.
Gas supply not connected or turned on. See the Installation Instructions that came with your range.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Burner parts not replaced correctly. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Burner slots near the electrode, or the round lighter port on the oval burner, may be clogged. Remove the burners and clean them. Check the electrode area for burned-on food or grease. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Food residue on electrode Lightly polish flat tip of electrode with nail file or sandpaper until shiny.
Top burners do not burn evenly Improper burner assembly. Make sure the burner caps are seated correctly. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Burner slots on the side of the burner may be clogged. Remove the burners for cleaning. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Burner flames are very large or yellow Improper air to gas ratio. If range is connected to Propane gas, contact the technician who installed your range or made the conversion.
My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking. This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.
Drawer does not slide smoothly or drags The drawer is out of alignment. Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in. See the Care and Cleaning of the range section.
Drawer is over-loaded or load is unbalanced. Reduce weight or redistribute drawer contents.
