lectric 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.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't follow instructions.
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
• Storage in Oven – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the oven, follow basic • Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
precautions, including the following:
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
• Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
• Never Use the Oven for Warming or
Heating the Room.
• 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.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the oven.
• 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.
• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or
replace any part of the oven unless
specifically recommended in the manu-
al. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• 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.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No
commercial oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELE-
MENTS 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
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven –
Remove broiler pan and other utensils.
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.

2. Put food in oven.
The following chart tells you how much to
adjust the offset temperature to get the
desired cooking results. You can determine
cooking results by amount of browning,
moistness, and rising times for baked foods.
Place meat on the convection roasting
rack, place rack on broiler pan and grid,
and place pan in the center of the oven.

dish items. Convection baking time of +/-
10 to 15 minutes and temperatures of +/-
25 to 50 degrees are acceptable.
3. Enter the temperature and cook time
you want. (The default is Bake at 170°F

Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
Before you start
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
DO NOT
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar
and/or milk as soon as possible after the
oven cools down. When sugar is heated
to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the high temperature can cause the
sugar to burn and react with the
hand-clean

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to
slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the
“Caring for Your Electric Convection
Oven” section.) If you clean the racks in
the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on
the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
Before you start the Self-Cleaning
cycle, make sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the Self-
Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use
hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-
wool pad for cleaning.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to

How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
6. After the Self-Cleaning
cycle ends:
YOU SEE
Your oven is preset for a 31⁄2-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your
oven. You can set the cycle anywhere
between 21⁄

and 41⁄

controls” earlier in this section.)
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at
any time:
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 31⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it
