BUILT-IN OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
instructions.
follow
WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be
left alone or unattended in area where oven is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the oven.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the oven.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause burns – among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door may cause burner
cycling to give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
Rack Positions
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
NOTE: It is normal for the fan to automatically run while the oven
is in use or for some time after the oven is shut off.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
■
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Rack Positions
Rack 4: Use for 2-rack cooking.
Rack 3: Used for most broiling.
■
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
Rack 2: Used for most 1-rack baking of cookies or biscuits on a
cookie sheet; baking cakes, bundt cakes or breads; 2-
rack baking; roasting meats; cooking larger food; or
broiling thicker items such as split chicken halves.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
Rack 1: Used for roasting turkey, baking angel food cake, pie
shells, frozen pies, souffles or bread.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 1 and 4, depending on
baking results. Use racks 1 and 4 when using two cookie sheets.
Racks
■
■
■
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
Do not place two cookie sheets on one rack.
NOTES:
■
For best baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits, bake on
1 rack. Position rack so food is in the center of the oven.
Allow 2" (5.1 cm) between the edge of the bakeware and the
oven walls or adjacent bakeware.
To Remove Oven Racks:
Pull rack straight out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then pull out.
■
■
If cooking on two racks, stagger pans so one is not directly
over the other.
To Replace Oven Racks:
Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the front edge up
slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop position. Lower
front and slide back into the oven.
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.1 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
Pull the rack out to the stop position to be sure it is positioned
correctly. Then return it to its normal position.

oven vent.

necessary for roasting. Allow the oven to heat until the desired
oven temperature is reached, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Double Wall Oven - Lower Oven
The lower oven is equipped with only a bake element. For best
results, use the upper oven for delicate cooking such as cakes,
cookies, biscuits or pies. Use either oven for non-critical types of
cooking such as meats or casseroles.
Broiling is done in the upper oven.
To set the lower oven for baking or roasting:
1. Turn the Lower Oven knob to the desired temperature setting.
NOTE: The Selector knob is not used with the lower oven.

Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the
BROILING CHART
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.
Broil times are based on a 3 minute preheat. For best results,
place food 3" (7.0 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are
guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes.
Turn meat halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack
positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (4). For
diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
■
For best results, use the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
