Microwave Oven important information
RADIO OR TV iNTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV
as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time setting elapses and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
° Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside
of dish.
° Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
° Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
° Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
° Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
° Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
° Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of
the dish to the outside.
° Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a "0"
power stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
° Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT FOODS
* Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers--for example, closed jars--will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
* Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
* Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
* Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
* Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid
off. Make sure aii infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir
food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The
container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
* Spontaneous boiling--Under certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing
liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the
container from the microwave oven, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after
the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in
narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even if
the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
* Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
* Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
* Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage to your microwave oven.
* Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Microwave Oven important information (co.t °oedl
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Maize sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
° glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware ®
° heat-resistant glass (Pyrex ®)
° microwave-safe plastics
° paper plates
° microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
° browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
These items can be used for short tlme reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
° wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
* metal pans and bakeware
* dishes with metallic trim
* non-heat-resistant giass
* non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
* recycled paper products
* brown paper bags
* food storage bags
* metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:
* Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
* Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
° Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use
can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow
plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
° Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because
heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
° Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember
to slit bag so steam can escape.
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN:
* Small fiat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or
cooking too quickly.
° Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
thermometer wiii assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe
temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to
the microwave oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the
same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to Jean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
ABOUT SAFETY
° Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures.
160°F For fresh pork, ground meah boneless white
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and
deii and carry-out "fresh" food.
170°F White meat of poultry.
175°F Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
° ALWAYS use pothoiders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat
from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin
burns.
° Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away

Racks
This appliance is equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
self=cleanlng mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have
cooled down.
OVEN VENT LOCATION
Each oven is vented at its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vents. This is normal.
ARRANGING LOWER OVEN RACKS ...................
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE
OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, puii the rack forward until
it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides
on the oven wails. Tilt the front of the rack upward
and slide the rack back into place.
TYPES OF OVEN RACKS
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.
Do not line oven wails, racks, or bottom
with aluminum foil or other materials. Doing so wiii alter
heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Self-clean
temperatures are hot enough to melt these materials.
Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack and
Extendable Glide Rack.
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-dean cycle.
Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the racks. It
is important that the sides of the oven racks always have
a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-dean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.

Broiling is direct heat cooking and wiii produce some
smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from
the broil element. Always watch food carefully to prevent
burning.
For best results
* Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for
the type of meat being prepared.
° For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat 2
minutes before placing the food in the oven.
° Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
° Do not cover the broil pan/insert with aluminum foil; the
exposed grease could ignite.
° Always use oven mitts.
° Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan
without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil - the
exposed grease could ignite.
° To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to
prevent grease splattering, do not use the roasting rack
when broiling.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may
be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread
and cause personal injury.

° Some foods cool< up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
° No special pans or bakeware required.
For best results
° Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
° Place food items using the recommended rack positions
for the type of food being prepared.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4"
(5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper air
circulation.
° Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and
time recommendations or refer to the convection roast
chart for additional information.

MEAT PROBE
Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most
effective way of ensuring that your food has been properly
cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry
you can use the probe to check the internal temperature
without any guesswork.
Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep
warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe
function:
° Default: 170°F / 76°C
° Minimum: 130°F / 54°C
° Maximum: 210°F / 99°C
Proper probe placement
Always insert the
probe so that
the tip rests in
the center of the
thickest part of
the meat. Do not
allow the probe
to touch bone, fat,
gristle or the pan
-Fig.l-.
Fig. 1
For bone-in ham
or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest
large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or
casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food.
To find the center of the food visually measure with the
probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fish, insert the probe just
above the gill.

Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle
BEFORE STARTING SELF=CLEAN
A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans with high
temperatures that are well above those used for normal
cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soils completely
or reduces them to a fine powdered ash that you can later
easily wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when running the self=
cleon cycle:
° Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
* Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of
the oven manually.
* Do no| use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or
around the oven interion
DO no| dean the oven door gasket. The woven material
of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
-Fig. 1-
Do no| use any cleaning materials on the door gasket.
Leaving chemical residue can damage the door gasket.
Do not force the oven door open. The automatic door
locking system can be damaged.
Remove all utensils and any olumlnum fall from the
oven. These items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures.
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It
is important that the sides of the oven racks always have
a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.
Remove any excessive spliJovers in the oven cavity
before starting a self-clean cycle. To dean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
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 with soap and water. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as mill<, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the porcelain surface, they may leave
a dull spot even after cleaning.
During the self-dean cycle, the outside of the appliance can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance.
° DO NOT line the oven wafts, oven racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so
will stop heat distribution, produce poor baking results
and cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the door after the self-dean cycle is finished. The oven
may still be VERY HOT.
° The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
appliance. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

What to Expect during CJeonlng
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to
temperatures much higher than those used in normal
cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are
normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being
removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they
may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This
is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available,
use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
37
Lower Oven Self-Cleanincj Cycle
SELF=CLEAN CYCLE
The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature.
When used with a Delay Start pad, a delayed Self-Cleaning
cycle may also be programmed. The Self clean feature
allows for any Self-Cleaning cycle time from 2 (2:00) to 4
hours (4:00). You may also choose the clean time in 1 minute
increments (for example 2 hours and 50 minutes) by pressing
the corresponding number keypads.
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean
cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and
the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours
to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for llghf soils,
a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy
soils (to assure satisfactory results).
NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
See example below to start an immediate Self-Cleaning
cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o'clock and shut-
off automatically (example provided is a default 3 hour
Self-Clean cycle)

clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 for 2 hour or press 4 0
0 for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based
on the amount of soih lighh medium or heavy (_See
above).
Press START.
As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door
loci< will begin to close automatically. Once the door
has been locked the "DOOR LOCKED" indicator light
will stop flashing and remain on.
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door loci< to close.

finish steps 4-6.
4. Press DELAY START.
5. Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the
number pads 9 00.
6. Press START.
The control wiii calculate forward from the set start time
to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end.
The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the
set time.
° To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven
door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam
to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
When fhe Self=Clean Cycle is Complefed
Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR,
and the "DOOR LOCKED" icon is no longer displayed, the
oven door can then be opened.
Stopping or Inferrupfing a Self=Cleanlng Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning
cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1. Press STOP.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1
HOUR, and the "DOOR LOCKED" icon is no longer
displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
If a self-clean cycle was started but did not finish due to a
power failure, your oven may not be completely cleaned.
After power has been restored and the oven door has
unlocked, set for another self-clean if needed.

Microwave General Care & Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or
abrasive cleaner.
_oor
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or duil the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the Microwave
Oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth
dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do
not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door
and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of
spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with
a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR
HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil,
use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot
water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed
and dried. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
Wavegulde Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven
performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food
spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after
they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke
or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To
remove, combine 1cup water, grated peel and juice of 1
lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring
cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set
in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks
The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed
for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for
stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive
scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top
rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will
cause the ceramic turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly
acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up
immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or
spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
39
Lower Oven General Care & Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND
HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE EXTENT AND DIFFICULTY OF
MAJOR CLEANING LATER.
Surface Type Cleanlng Recommendation
Alumlnum (trim pieces) & vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted and plastlc control knobs
Body parts,
Painted decorative trim
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for
30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners
on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob
into place.
Chrome control panel (some models)

Stalnless steel (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control
knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hob soapy
water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping
around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to
the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the fiat sides of both the
knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Sfalnless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a
dean sponge or cloth. Rinse with dean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do
not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially
made for cleaning Stainless Steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the
surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Porcelain enamel broiler pan and
insert (if equipped)
Door liner & body parts
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a
1:1 solution of dear 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 dean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating.
Oven racks
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the
oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the
racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating
of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack
becomes difficult to slide.
For some models with chrome oven racks, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner
following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with dean water and dry.
Oven door
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. 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.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

CARING FOR YOUR PORCELAIN ENAMELED GLIDE
RACKS
4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
F_'_ Handle oven racks only when they are coot.
After cooking or after the self clean cycle, racks wiii be very
hot and can cause burns.
Important Notes:
° It is recommended to remove aii racks from the oven
during self-clean cycles, but porcelain racks may be left
in the oven if they are soiled. After a self clean cycle, or
anytime the gliding is rough, the glide racks should be
treated with graphite lubrication.
° Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based
lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks.
Use only the graphite lubrication in this area.
° It is important that the parts of the rack that contact
the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable
oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of
the rack after every self-clean cycle and when the rack
becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.
To lubricate the gllde rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on
a large fiat surface covered with newspaper or scrap
cloth. Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track
using a cloth or sponge.
.
6.
Turn glide rack over. Shake graphite lubrication very
well before applying. Place four drops of graphite
lubrication along the tracks. Repeat on bath sides of
the gllde rack.
Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
.
Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying.
Place four drops of graphite lubrication along the tracks
(see area circled on figure below). Repeat on both sides
of the glide rack.
7.
Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the outer frame of
the glide rack as shown below. Keeping the frame sides
lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily
when changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

° Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.
° Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Lower Oven
Operating Jnstructlons.
° Meat too dose to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper
clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for
searing.
° Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
° Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid
on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan
(some models).
* Grease has built up on oven surfaces. ReguJar cleaning is necessary when
broiling frequentiy. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
* Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the
dispJay & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error
repeats, remove power suppJy to appJiance, wait 5 minutes and then repower
