IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
Read and follow the below  
instructions and precautions for unpacking,  
installing, and servicing your appliance:  
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on  
the door or drawers of an oven can result in  
serious injuries and also cause damage to the  
appliance. Do not allow children to climb or  
play around the oven. The weight of a child  
on an open over door may cause the oven to  
tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.  
Remove all tape and packaging before  
using the oven. Destroy the carton and  
plastic bags after unpacking the oven.  
Never allow children to play with  
packaging material.  
Never cover any slots, holes, or  
passages in the oven bottom or cover an  
entire oven rack with materials, such as  
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap  
heat, causing a fire hazard.  
Proper Installation—Be sure your  
appliance is properly installed and  
grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the National Electrical  
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition  
and local electrical code requirements. In

requirements. Install only per installation  
instructions provided in the literature  
package for this oven.  
Wear proper apparel. Loose-  
fitting or hanging garments should never be  
worn while using this appliance. Do not let  
clothing or other flammable materials come  
into contact with hot surfaces.  
Do not heat unopened food  
containers. Build-up of pressure may cause  
container to burst and result in injury.  
User Servicing—Do not repair or replace  
any part of the appliance unless specifi-  
cally recommended in the manuals. All  
other servicing should be done only by a  
qualified technician. This reduces the risk  
of personal injury and damage to the  
oven.  
When heating fat or grease,  
watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it  
becomes too hot.  
Do not use water or flour on  
grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry  
chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover  
the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.  
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified  
technician and an authorized repair  
service. Know how to disconnect the  
power to the oven at the circuit breaker or  
fuse box in case of an emergency.  
Use dry potholders. Moist or  
damp potholders on hot surfaces may result  
in burns from steam. Do not let potholders  
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or  
other bulky cloths.  
Never modify or alter the construction of  
an oven by removing the leveling legs,  
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/  
screws, or any other part of the oven.  
Important: Important Safety Notice - The  
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the governor of  
California to publish a list of substances  
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other  
reproductive harms, and it requires busi-  
nesses to warn customers of potential  
exposures to such substances.  
Remove the oven door from any unused  
oven if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.  
Do not attempt to operate the oven  
during a power failure. If the power fails,  
always turn off the oven. If the oven is not  
turned off and the power resumes, the  
oven will begin to operate again. Once  
the power resumes, reset the clock and  
oven function.  
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 to line surface unit drip bowls or oven  
bottoms, except as suggested in the  
manual. Improper installation of these  
liners may result in a risk of electric shock,  
or fire.  
Cold temperatures can damage the elec-  
tronic control. When using this appliance  
for the first time, or when the appliance  
has not been used for an extended period  
of time, be sure the appliance has been in  
temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at  
least 3 hours before turning on the power  
to the appliance.  
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  
Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type  
fire extinguisher available, visible, and  
easily located near the appliance.  
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.  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN  
Never use your appliance for warming or  
heating the room.  
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts  
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not  
allow grease to accumulate.  
Use care when opening oven door, lower  
oven door, or warmer drawer (some  
models). 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.  
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.  
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.  
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease  
should not be allowed to accumulate on the  
hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions for cleaning hoods.  
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.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS  
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.  
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 suffi-  
cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the  
appliance may become hot enough to cause  
burns - among these surfaces are (identifica-  
tion of surfaces - for example, oven vent  
openings and surfaces near these openings,  
oven doors, and windows of oven doors).  
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners. No commer-  
cial 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.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
Do not use an adapter plug or an  
extension cord, or remove grounding prong  
from the power cord. Failure to follow this  
warning may cause serious injury, fire, or  
death.  
For personal safety, this appliance must be  
properly grounded.  
For models factory-equipped with a power  
cord:  
For maximum safety, the power cord must be  
plugged into an electrical outlet that is the  
correct voltage, is correctly polar-ized, and is  
properly grounded in accordance with local  
codes.  
For ovens to be wired into a junction box:  
It is the personal responsibility of the  
consumer to have the appropriate outlet with  
the correct, properly grounded wall recep-  
tacle installed by a qualified electrician. See  
the installation instructions packaged with

Figure 2: Oven rack types  
Oven Rack Descriptions  
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using  
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well  
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.  
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used  
for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven  
rack positions.  
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven  
racks  
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step  
down positions from the standard flat rack design. The  
offset design positions the base of the rack about half of a  
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in  
most oven rack positions.  
To Arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is  
cool (prior to operating the oven).  
To Remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches  
the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.  
To Replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both  
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly  
and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are  
level before using.  
Air circulation in the oven  
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches  
(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure  
pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,  
sides, or back of the oven cavity.  
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even  
heat to reach the food.

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:  
Use the Broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure  
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is  
factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature  
may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and  
550°F (288°C).  
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning  
results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.  
2. Position bakeware in oven.  
3. Press Broil.  
The suggested broil settings are recommendations only (See  
Table 2). Depending on cooking preferences, you can increase  
or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack  
position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in Table 2,  
follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the  
item closely.  
4. Press

Important note:  
Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.  
For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along  
with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the  
fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid  
splatter.  
When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop  
position before turning or removing food. Cook Time or  
Delay Start will not operate with the Broil.

Adjusting Oven Temperatures  
Restoring Factory Default Settings  
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure  
accurate baking temperatures. 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.  
When new, your appliance left the factory with predetermined  
(default) oven control settings. Over time, users may have made  
changes to these settings. The following options may have been  
modified since the appliance was new:  
12 or 24 hour display mode  
Continuous bake or 12 hour energy savings mode  
Silent or audible control  
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F  
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated  
settings.

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for  
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result  
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as  
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refriger-  
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven  
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be  
removed promptly when finished cooking.  
Remember the oven will shut-off automatically after  
completing a Cook Time, Delay Start, or Warm & Hold.  
Therefore, it may only be used once during the Sabbath/  
Jewish holidays.

the surface because they may leave a dull spot even after  
cleaning.  
Self Clean  
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well  
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-  
inates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash  
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.  
Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Figure 20). 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. Do not use any cleaning materials on the  
oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the  
door gasket.  
The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from  
2 hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for  
normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for  
heavy cleaning.  
Read Before Starting Self Clean:  
Do not leave small children unattended near  
the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the  
oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.  
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or  
any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will  
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and  
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will  
melt to the interior of the oven.  
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive  
to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any  
oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.  
Do not force the door open. This can damage  
the automatic door locking system. 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.

any time between 2 hours and 4 hours. Once you have the  
desired clean time selected, proceed to Step 3.  
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from  
oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks  
are not removed, they may discolor.  
Remove all items from the oven, including bakeware,  
utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not  
withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and  
will melt.  
3. Press  
to activate Self Clean.  
As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock  
mechanism will begin locking the oven door automatically. door  
Loc will appear in the display (See Figure 21). Do not open the  
oven door when door Loc is displayed (allow 15 seconds for the  
lock mechanism to lock the oven).  
Do not use oven cleaners or oven 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 (See Figure 20). These areas heat suffi-  
ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to  
starting Self Clean.  
Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the display,  
indicating Self Clean has started.  
Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on  
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before  
starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water  
and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or  
fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food  
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,

Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance  
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty  
edges to prevent curling.  
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling  
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

displays any F or E code error.  
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code.  
Try bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to appliance,  
wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake  
or broil function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear.  
Soil not completely removed after  
self clean.  
Self Clean was interrupted. Review “Self Clean” on page 17.  
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.  
Failure to clean 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 are not in the self-  
cleaning area, but they get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before  
starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush  
and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
