IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Use care when opening oven door. Stand
to the side of the oven when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
in hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum
foil or any other materials to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
Before manually cleaning any
part of the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS (some models)
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
• 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.
• Do not clean door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self clean cycle
of any oven. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the control panel (Figure 1).
When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and
good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture
may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any
other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter
heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean
temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, and oven
racks will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important: Remove all racks and accessories from the oven
before starting a cleaning cycle.
‘
Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks
To arrange - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool.
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of
rack and slide out.
To replace - fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of
oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward and slide the rack
back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) **The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is
145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). NOTE: Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place the food further away
from the broil element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning.

Oven Controls
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure
an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow
your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your
recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter
or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.
Important notes:
• Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your
oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20ºF
to 40 °F (11ºC to 23ºC) from actual temperatures.
• Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil or
Self Clean operating temperatures.
• The oven temperature may be changed as much as ±35°F
(±19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press Bake.
2. Set the oven temperature to 550°F (288°C) by pressing and
holding . Release when 550°F (288°C) appears in the
display.
3. Within 3 seconds, press and hold Bake until number digits
appear.
4. Release Bake. The display now indicates the amount of
degrees offset from the original factory temperature setting
and the current temperature setting. If the control still has
the original factory calibration, the display will read 0.
5. The temperature may be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C),
in 5°F (1ºC) increments by pressing and holding the or
keys. Adjust until the desired amount of temperature
offset appears in the display and release key.
6. Press to accept and return to normal operation.

Self Clean Operation
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well
above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. The Self Clean
function offers three different cleaning times. A 2-hour time for
light soils, a default 3-hour clean time for normal soils, and a 4-
hour clean for heavier soils.
Before starting Self Clean:
Important notes: Read all the following important statements
before starting a self clean cycle:
• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If
the oven racks are not removed they will lose their special
coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity easily.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any
aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures and will melt.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom or any part
of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat
distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. During a self clean
cycle the oven temperatures will be hot enough to melt foil.
• Do not spray oven cleaners or protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center
of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil
on. Clean with soap and water. These areas are shown in
white (See Figure 5).
• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull
spot even after cleaning.
• Do not clean the oven gasket (See Figure 5). The woven
material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not
rub, damage, or remove the oven frame gasket. Doing so
could compromise the performance of the oven.
• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom
should be wiped up and removed before starting a self
clean cycle. Refer to “Cleaning Exposed Bake Ovens” on
page 18.
• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance.
During self clean cycle the outside of the oven can become
very hot and cause burns if touched.
• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may
still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns
stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or
hot air to escape.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes
given off during the self clean cycle of any range. Move
birds to a well ventilated room.
• The oven bake and broil elements may still be hot after they
appear to have cooled. Burns may occur if these elements
are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

Oven Controls
Setting Self Clean
Self Clean allows a user to select a 2, 3, or 4 hour self clean
cycle.
To set a Self Clean cycle immediately:
1. Be sure the oven in empty and all oven racks are removed.
Be sure the oven door is completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean once. The display will show
— —.
3. Press or . The display will show 3:00 to indicate
the default 3 hour clean time is selected. To change to a 2
or a 4 hour clean time press ; until 2:00 appears
or 4:00 appears in the display then release the arrow key.
4. After selecting the clean time Self Clean will activate. The
DOOR LOCKED indicator light will light and CLn will
appear in the display. Do not attempt to open the oven
door when the DOOR LOCKED indicator light is flashing

door locking mechanism. Allow about 15 seconds for the
oven door to completely lock.
5. Once the oven door locks, the DOOR LOCKED indicator
light will glow steady.
Use caution when opening the oven door after
self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when
opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
When Self Clean is finished:
1. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and the
DOOR LOCKED indicator light has turned off the oven door
may be opened.
2. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Important note:
If Self Clean is active and a power failure occurs, the oven may
not have thoroughly cleaned. This would depend on how much
cleaning time had elapsed before the power failure. If needed
after power is restored, set Self Clean again.
Important notes:
• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open
window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st self
clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors asso-
ciated with the 1st self clean cycle.
• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the DOOR
LOCKED indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds
for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock
or unlock the oven door.
• When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to
the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about
1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be
able to open the oven door.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, ensure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty and time of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum, plastic, or vinyl trim
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Plastic
Use hot, soapy water and dry with a clean cloth. Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish
detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area
with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on
a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not
use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control may damage
the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper
towels. They will damage the finish.
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven
control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.
Stainless Steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel. Always
rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high concentra-
tions of chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Wipe
excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future
oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a cloth
or sponge. Use clean water to rinse; use a cloth to dry.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
Insert (available by mail order)
Door liner and body parts
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a
soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the
porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
Oven racks Remove oven racks from the oven cavity before cleaning the oven interior. Use a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside door glass. Do not immerse the door in water. Do
not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven
cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the
oven door.The oven gasket is essential for a good seal. It is located on the inner frame of the
door and visible when the door is opened. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self clean
models, the oven door gasket is made of a woven material. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove this gasket.

Care and Cleaning
General Cleaning
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Ammonia must be rinsed before
operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the appliance manually. Remove spillovers and heavy
soiling as soon as possible.
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil or any other oven liners or
materials to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt
these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of
materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation in the
oven and produce poor baking results.
•Aluminum foil - Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
•Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks.
Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to
obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.
• During self clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to
melt aluminum cookware and utensils or aluminum foil if left in the
oven. This could result in permanent damage to the oven interior
and porcelain finish.
Adhere to the following precautions when using spray oven cleaners:
• Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches because
it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
• Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler
drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the oven, plastic
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Cleaning Exposed Bake Ovens
The bake element is located in the bottom of the oven cavity
(Figure 6). Remove the bottom oven rack before raising the
element. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5
inches from the resting position to clean the oven bottom.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the
oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler
pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary,
use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
Replacing the Oven Lights
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and
covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever
the oven is in use (See Figure 7).
Be sure the oven is unplugged or power is turned off and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for
protection against possible broken glass. Do not allow your fingers to
touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.
Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb when
installing.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-
clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance
bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
