IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO  
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN  
CABINETS ABOVE AN OVEN. CHILDREN  
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO REACH  
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.  
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 the state to cause birth  
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires  
businesses to warn customers of potential  
exposure to such substances.  
Teach children not to play with the controls  
or any other part of the oven.  
• Never leave the oven door open when you are  
not watching the oven.  
• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens  
gives off a very small amount of carbon  
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure  
can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,  
curtains or drapes a safe distance from  
your oven.  
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance from  
your oven.  
When using electrical appliances, basic  
safety precautions should be followed, including  
the following:  
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance away from  
your oven.  
• Have the installer show you the location  
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for  
easy reference.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with hot heating elements and  
may cause severe burns.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as  
described in this guide.  
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed  
and grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the provided installation  
instructions.  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or  
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may  
result in burns from steam. Do not let  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of  
your oven unless it is specifically recommended  
in this guide. All other servicing should be  
referred to a qualified technician.  
pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can  
catch fire on a hot heating element.  
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER  
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN  
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER  
APPLIANCE.  
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT  
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE  
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY  
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF  
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.  
• Do not leave children alone—children should  
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an  
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed  
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the oven.  
• Do not use water on grease fires.  
Smother fire or flame or use a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type  
fire extinguisher.  
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on  
the door. They could damage the oven or cause  
severe personal injury.  
• Be sure the oven is securely installed in a  
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house  
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,  
stand or hang on the oven door.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely  
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off  
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-  
type fire extinguisher.

• Never leave the oven door open when you are  
not watching the oven.  
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.  
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven.  
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.  
• Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
• Do not touch the heating elements or the  
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may  
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark  
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let  
clothing or other flammable materials contact, any  
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for  
cooling first.  
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils  
or food in the oven when not in use.  
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan  
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in  
the broiler pan can catch on fire next time you use  
the pan.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent  
opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices  
around the oven door, the edges of the door  
window and metal trim parts above the door.  
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or  
near your oven.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven  
bottom, except as suggested in this guide.  
Improper installation of aluminum foil may  
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.  
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may  
be hot when the door is opened.  
• When cooking pork, follow the directions  
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in  
the remote possibility that trichina may be present  
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be  
safe to eat.  
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and  
Care Guide.  
Self-Cleaning Oven  
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door  
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should  
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.  
Oven  
• Stand away from the oven when opening the  
door. The hot air or steam which escapes can  
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container could  
burst, causing an injury.  
• 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage  
the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle  
is used.  
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the  
• Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.  
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.  
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holders contact  
the heating elements.  
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn  
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.  
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.  
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods.  
It is also a precaution against burns from  
touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

USING YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to  
NOTE:  
set them properly.  
You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first  
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a  
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed  
the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours. See  
the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.  
2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.  
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them  
properly to give sure, sturdy support.  
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.  
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to  
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may  
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially  
during the first weeks of using your new oven.  
Oven Shelves  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,  
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they  
will stop before coming completely out of the oven,  
and will not tilt when removing food from or  
placing food on them.  
Bump  
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out  
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware  
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.  
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.  
To remove the shelf from the oven, pull the shelf  
toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the  
shelf out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with  
the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing  
up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front  
and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it  
goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower  
the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.  
Shelf Positions  
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this  
illustration as A (bottom), B, C, and D (top).  
See the Baking section for shelf placement suggestions.

BAKING  
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control  
system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of  
weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think  
an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section.  
It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.  
How to Set Your Oven for Baking  
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct  
position before you turn the oven on.

finished.

Preheating  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means  
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature  
before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the  
oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher  
temperature does not shorten preheat time.  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat  
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the  
food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat  
from escaping.  
Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on  
the pan determines the amount of browning that  
will occur.  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the  
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.

oven. Allow 1- to 1 ⁄ -inch space between pans as well  
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.  
If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so  
one is not directly above the other.  
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to  
be reduced by 25°F.  
• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find  
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.  
to prevent over-browning.  
Cookies  
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without  
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked  
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have  
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the  
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a  
shelf with a large cookie sheet.  
For best results during baking, use only one cookie  
sheet in the oven at a time.

BAKING  
(continued)  
Pies  
Cakes  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans  
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil  
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet  
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away  
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.  
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe  
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier  
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
Aluminum Foil  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This  
will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor  
baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a  
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches  
below the food.  
Don’t Peek  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do  
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes  
provide minimum and maximum baking times such  
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”  
DO NOT open the door to check until the  
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently  
during cooking allows heat to escape and makes  
baking times longer. Your baking results may also  
be affected.

ROASTING  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or  
Most meats continue to cook slightly after being  
removed from the oven. The internal temperature will  
rise about 5° to 10°F. during the recommended  
standing time of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts  
to firm up and makes them easier to carve. To  
compensate for this rise in temperature, you may want  
to remove the roast sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less than the  
temperature in the Roasting Guide).  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for  
meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or  
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,  
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed  
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.  
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot  
oven and therefore should be removed when the  
desired internal temperature has been reached.

ROASTING WITH THE PROBE  
See the Roasting Guide.  
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe  
A temperature probe has been provided for use in your  
new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high  
temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other  
products, such as those used for microwave ovens,  
may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.  
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 the outlet in  
the oven. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when  
removing the probe—they might damage it.  
TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE  
SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED  
BEFORE INSERTING.  
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-  
cleaning cycle.  
Cable  
Probe  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal  
food temperature is the best test for doneness. The  
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting  
by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.  
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the  
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.  
Plug  
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at  
one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the  
outlet in the oven.  
Handles  
(appearance may vary)  
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or  
on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for  
proper probe placement.  
2. Insert the probe into  
the meat up to the  
point marked off  
with your finger. It  
should not touch the  
bone, fat or gristle.  
1. Lay the probe on the  
outside of the meat  
along the top or side  
and mark with your  
finger where the edge  
of the meat comes to  
on the probe. The point  
should rest in the center  
of the thickest meaty  
part of the roast.  
No more than 2 inches  
of the probe, not  
counting the handle,  
should be left exposed  
outside the meat.  
Ham or Lamb  
Casseroles or Fish  
Poultry  
Insert the probe into the meatiest  
part of the inner thigh from below  
and parallel to the leg of a whole  
turkey.  
Insert the probe into the center  
of dishes such as meat loaf or  
casseroles. When cooking fish,  
insert the probe from just above  
the gill into the meatiest area,  
parallel to the backbone.  
For roasts with no bone, insert the  
probe into the meatiest part of the  
roast. For bone-in ham or lamb,  
insert the probe into the center of  
the lowest large muscle or joint.

Roasting Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat  
thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook  
a roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at  
the completion of cooking time is recommended  
if you did not use the probe while cooking.  
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.  
For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at  
half-hour intervals after half the cooking time  
has passed.  
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips  
that would help me cook it more evenly?  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible, or  
buy rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when  
roasting a turkey?  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to  
carve it?  
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it  
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown  
the meat.  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to 20  
minutes after removing them from the oven.  
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.  
ROASTING GUIDE  
Frozen Roasts  
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started  
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per  
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for  
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).  
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.  
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.  
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked  
successfully without thawing. Follow the directions  
given on the package label.

BROILING  
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat  
from the upper broil element in the oven. Most  
fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow  
these directions to keep spattering and smoking to  
a minimum.  
Position a shelf on recommended shelf position as  
suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done  
on C position, but if your oven is connected to 208  
volts, you may wish to use a higher position.  
Leave the door open to the  
broil stop position. The door  
stays open by itself, yet the  
proper temperature is  
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut  
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If  
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about  
1/8 inch thick.  
maintained in the oven.  
Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.  
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler  
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to  
catch on fire.  
Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling.  
Time the foods for the first side according to the  
Broiling Guide.  
Turn the food, then use the times given for the  
second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.  
NOTE: Broil will not work if the temperature probe  
is plugged in.

Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan  
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil  
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat  
juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices  
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do  
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown  
as they should?  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use  
a grid in the pan?  
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven may  
be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for  
10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with  
food in the oven. Check to see if you are using the  
recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest  
period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide.  
Turn the food only once during broiling. You may  
need to move the food to a higher shelf position.  
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the  
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the  
pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected  
by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing  
excessive spatter and smoking.  
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to  
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing  
meat with a fork also allows juices to escape.  
Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and  
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower  
part of the pan.  
• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,  
for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat  
if desired.  
The oven door should be open to the broil stop  
position.  
• For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the  
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise  
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the  
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent  
piercing the meat and losing juices.  
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick  
pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.  
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven  
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot  
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well  
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help  
prevent a brown residue from forming when the  
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.  
Do not clean the gasket. Never use a commercial  
oven cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.  
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the  
self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose  
their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the  
shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning  
to make shelves slide more easily.  
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use  
soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to  
prevent staining.  
Clean the outside front of the oven door with  
soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean  
under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives  
or oven cleaners.

After Self-Cleaning  
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe  
it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.  
NOTE:  
• No functions can be programmed before the door  
automatically unlocks.  
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled  
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a  
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually  
a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.  
• If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the  
shelf supports with cooking oil.  
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,  
repeat the cycle.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time  
of day, can I still self-clean my oven?  
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled  
surface of my oven?  
A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day  
you will not be able to set a delay clean to end  
at a specific time.  
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from  
heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines  
do not affect how your oven performs.  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any  
part of my self-cleaning oven?  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after  
cleaning?  
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around  
any part of this oven. If you do use them and do  
not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it  
absolutely clean afterward, the residue can scar  
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next  
time the oven is automatically cleaned.  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is  
ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or  
cloth.  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is  
the matter?  
A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose  
their luster and become hard to slide. To make the  
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports  
with cooking oil.  
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs  
during cleaning?  
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the oven  
off. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke.  
Wait until the oven has cooled and the words  
“LOCKED DOOR” are off in the display. Wipe  
up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.  
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the  
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will  
lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear  
during cleaning normal?  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating  
and cooling during both the cooking and  
cleaning functions.  
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first  
few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil  
might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow  
these directions carefully in caring for your oven to  
assure safe and proper maintenance.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and grid from  
the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully  
pour the grease from the pan into a proper container.  
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water  
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.  
Do not store a soiled pan and grid anywhere in  
the oven.  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with  
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper  
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove  
burned-on foods.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in  
the dishwasher.  
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-  
cleaning oven.  
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a  
commercial oven cleaner.  
Oven Light Replacement  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,  
disconnect the electrical power for your oven at  
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
To remove:  
• Hold your hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall  
when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly  
push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.  
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely  
before removing or replacing them. When in use, light  
bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched  
with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid  
touching warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light  
cover is removed.  
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.  
• Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.  
To replace cover:  
• Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull  
the wire forward to the center of cover until it snaps  
in place. When in place, the wire holds the cover  
firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the  
center of the cover.  
The oven light is covered  
with a removable glass  
cover which is held in  
place with a wire.  
Remove the oven door, if  
desired, to reach the  
cover easily.  
• Connect the electrical power to the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is  
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a  
removable, but it is  
heavy. You may need help  
removing and replacing  
the door. Do not lift the  
door by the handle. This  
can cause the glass to  
break or can cause  
soap-filled scouring pad.  
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass  
material of the gasket has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting  
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient  
oven operation and good baking results. If you  
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged

damage to the door.  
To remove the door,  
open it a few inches to the special stop position that  
will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side  
and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.  
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the  
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.  
NOTE:  
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and  
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back  
and pinch fingers.  
Inside gasket  
Gasket  
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges  
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent  
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel  
on the frame.  
Outside gasket  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the  
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom  
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the  
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull  
them back out.  
Outside of the door:  
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,  
sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water  
run down through openings in the top of the door.  
Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to  
clean the glass on the outside of the door.  
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:  
Inside of the door:  
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces  
and basting materials containing acids may cause  
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.  
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during  
the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by  
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or  
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the shelves with a mild abrasive cleanser or  
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with  
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.  
Oven shelf  
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in self-  
cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their  
luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the  
self-cleaning cycle.  
Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-  
cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

Probe  
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and  
water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the  
temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn  
spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.  
Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.  
Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.  
Control Panel  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each  
use of the oven. 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  
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers  
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.  
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.  
Metal Parts  
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or  
commercial oven cleaners. To safely clean surfaces,  
wash, rinse and then dry with a soft cloth.  
Glass Window  
To clean the outside glass of the oven window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse  
and polish with a dry cloth.  
Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the  
glass or the openings in the top of the oven door while cleaning.
