Upper Oven Doors

The upper oven doors on this double oven are unique. The doors open out to the side of the unit and they open together. Make sure that the area to each side of the oven is clear when opening the oven doors so that the doors can open fully and do not hit any open doors, open drawers, or other items to the side of the oven.

Pulling on one handle will make both doors open.

CAUTION: Make sure that the doors are fully open to prevent burning self.

Pushing on one door will make both doors close. If pushing the doors closed with only one of the handles, please use the left handle. The center door seal requires the left door to close slightly before the right door.

Make sure oven doors are fully closed when cooking. If the doors are open or not shut all the way for more than 60 seconds during a cooking mode, the oven will turn off and the control will ask you to close the doors to resume cooking.

Oven Racks

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 1%" 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, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

To Remove An Extension Rack

  1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven.
  2. Grasp the rack by both its upper front rail and its lower handles on two sides and lift straight up to unlock the rack from the rack supports.
  3. Firmly holding onto both the upper front rail and lower handles on both sides, pull the rack forward. Grasp the rack on both sides if necessary. Then remove it from the oven.

To Replace An Extension Rack

  1. Place the rear portion of the rack onto the rack supports (guides) as shown in the picture.
  2. Hold the upper front rail and lower handles and push the rack all the way in until the install feature locks into the front rack support.

If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.

Traditional Flat Racks

The racks have stops so that when placed correctly on the supports they will stop before coming completely out and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

To Remove a Rack

Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace a Rack

Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the stoppers) and lower it into position. Push the rack all the way in.

If flat racks are difficult to slide and/or remove, place some cooking oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the sides of the rack and each rack support.

CAUTION: Use caution when removing a rack from lowest position as door may be hot.

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.

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 recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes

Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement.

If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.

Traditional 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. To use this mode select Bake and then select a temperature. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

Convection Bake with Direct Air

The Convection Bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the lower element and also the upper and rear elements, along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven to enhance evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. To use this mode select Conv Bake 1 Rack and then select a temperature. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

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 select Conv Bake Multi and then select a temperature. Always preheat when using this mode.

Convection Roast with Direct Air

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven to improve browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe. To use this mode select Convection Roast and then select a temperature. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

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.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Traditional Broil Lo or Convection Broil Lo. For best performance, center food below the broil heating element.

Traditional Broil Hi

The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode select High/Low Broil and then select High Broil. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Traditional Broil Lo

The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode select High/Low Broil and then select Low Broil.

It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Convection Broil Hi with Direct Air

The Convection Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven for improved searing and browning. To use this mode select Convection Broil and then select High Broil. For best results preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.

Convection Broil Lo with Direct Air

The Convection Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven. To use this mode select Convection Broil and then select Low Broil. For best results preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.

Convection Broil Crisp with Direct Air

The Convection Broil Crisp mode is intended as a finishing mode at the end of a cooking cycle to add surface browning to a dish such as a casserole or a roast. To use this mode select Low Broil Crisp and then select Low Broil. Monitor food closely to prevent over browning.

Proof

Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread dough. Turn knob to bake and then press the Proof pad. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3 hours. To use this mode, select Bake and then select Warm. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. 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.

Probe

WARNING: Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at www.foodsafety.gov or www.IsItDoneYet.gov.

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

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. Program the desired probe and cooking mode settings by pressing the Probe pad and setting the desired internal food temperature by rotating the mini knob and pressing the mini knob to enter the temperature, then set the cook mode (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and the desired cooking temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200°F.

To use the probe with preheating:

  1. Set the desired cook mode (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and the desired cooking temperature.
  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. Program the probe temperature by pressing the Probe pad and setting the desired internal food temperature by rotating the mini knob and pressing the mini knob to enter the temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200°F.

Probe Care Guidelines

  • Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.
  • 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.

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

Oven

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

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

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, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.

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.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior 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.

Steam Clean Mode

Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.

To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the doors. Select Clean with both knobs. Rotate the mini knob to select steam clean. “Add H20” will appear in the display. Press the mini knob to start the steam clean. The oven doors will lock. You can not open the doors during the 30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle the doors will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil.

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven doors will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Use a damp cloth to hand clean inside door edge and 2” area around the inside edge of the oven doors. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks, the meat probe, and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self clean cycle. Close the doors. Select Clean with both knobs. Press the mini knob to select self-clean. Rotate the mini knob to adjust the clean time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours or use the default time; press the mini knob to enter the clean time and to start the self-clean. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. The oven will turn off automatically when the self clean cycle is complete. The doors will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven. On double oven models, you can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle. On double oven models, you can bake in one oven and self-clean in the other at the same time. However, you cannot use the PROOF mode setting in one oven while the other oven is self-cleaning.

Oven Racks

The racks that were provided with your oven (dark enameled racks, not shiny) may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle without being damaged.

To manually clean racks, use warm, soapy water. Make sure not to wash the rack slides on an extension rack.

If racks become more difficult to remove from the oven, put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the oven rack supports. Do not wipe the oil on an extension rack slide.

Periodically, after several self-clean cycles, the extension rack slides may need to be lubricated using the graphite lubricant shipped with your wall oven. To order additional graphite lubricant, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

  1. Remove extension rack from the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section.
  2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for easy clean up.

3. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. NOTE: Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced.

4. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with left slide mechanism of the rack, place four (4) small drops of lubricant on the two (2) bottom tracks of the slide close to the bearing carriers.

5. Repeat for the right slide mechanism of the rack.

6. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

7. Replace the cap on the lubricant and shake it again. Turn the rack over and repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.

8. Close the rack, turn rack right-side-up and place in the oven. See the Extension Oven Racks section.

NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience.

To remove the door:

  1. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
  2. Remove hinge bracket from front frame and set aside. The hinge bracket must be replaced for proper door functionality when door is reinstalled.
  3. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to the unlocked position. This may require a flat-blade screwdriver. DO NOT LIFT THE DOOR BY THE HANDLE!

4. Place hands on both sides of the door and close the oven door to the removal position (approximately 1”-2” [2.5 cm-5.1 cm] from the closed position).

5. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms clear the slots. NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sure you have a firm grip before lifting the oven door off the hinges. Use caution once the door is removed. Do not lay the door on its handle. This could cause dents or scratches.

Replacing the Lower Oven Door

NOTE: The oven door is heavy. You may need help lifting the door high enough to slide it into the hinge slots. Do not lift the door by the handle.

1. Lift the oven door by grasping each side.

2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position (approximately l”-2” [2.5 cm-5.1 cm] from the closed position), seat the notch of the hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch of the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.

3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.

4. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity, to the locked position.

5. Replace hinge bracket. The hinge bracket must be replaced for proper door functionality.

6. Close the oven door.

My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color. Is this defective?

No. 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.

Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature

Cookware or food in ovenThe cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
Number of racks in ovenAdding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
Different cooking modesThe different cooking modes use different preheat methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake multi).
