  • Your oven has six rack positions. 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 11/2" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

Oven Racks

  • 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.

Extension Racks

  • Extension racks have an install feature that locks into the rack supports (guides) on both sides. Once the install feature is locked into place. always pull the rack out. by its upper front rail. to its full extension stop position. when placing or removing cookware.
  • If extension racks are difficult to extend. lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven. remove debris in the slide tracks with a paper towel. shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
  • To order additional graphite lubricant. read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack:

  1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.

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.

Cookware

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning The Oven

Helpful Hints

  • An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Also we recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Control Panel

  • It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish.

Oven Exterior

  • Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth
  • When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
  • If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
  • Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse

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
  • To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual

How To Clean The Upper Oven Interior

  • Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.
