the oven door. Hot air or steam which  
escapes can cause burns to hands, face  
and/or eyes.  
an oven.  
I
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.  
I Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.  
I 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 surfaces or heating  
elements and may cause severe burns.  
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
I Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder  
contact the heating elements.  
I When using cooking or roasting bags  
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s  
directions.  
I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp  
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in  
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders  
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a  
towel or other bulky cloth.  
I 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.  
I For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
I Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate in  
or near the oven.  
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never  
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls  
off.  
I Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent  
openings, surfaces near the openings,  
crevices around the oven door, the edges  
of the window and metal trim parts above  
the door.  
I 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.  
I REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
I Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in  
or near your oven.  
I Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I 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.  
I After broiling, always take the broiler pan  
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover  
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire  
next time you use the pan.  
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s  
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.  
Manual.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven  
bottoms, except as suggested in this  
manual. Improper installation of  
aluminum foil may result in a risk  
of electric shock or fire.  
I Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
I Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not  
in use.  
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry  
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against  
foodborne illness.  
SELF-CLEANING OVEN  
I Do not clean the door gasket. The door  
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care  
should be taken not to rub, damage or  
move the gasket.  
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the  
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.  
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
I Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial  
oven cleaner or oven liner protective

qualified technician.  
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.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the supports, they will  
stop before coming completely out, and  
will not tilt.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt  
the front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the shelf in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the  
shelf support.

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
temperature. Preheating is necessary for  
good results when baking cakes, cookies,  
pastry and breads.  
Baking results will be better if baking  
pans are centered in the oven as much as  
possible. Pans should not touch each  
other or the walls of the oven. If you  
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans  
so one is not directly above the other,  
and leave approximately 112between  
pans, from the front, back and sides of  
the wall.  
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or  
tone, preheat 10 minutes.  
Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line the  
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,  
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid  
and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
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.  
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a  
spillover.  
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door  
closed but it may not brown as well because  
the oven heating element will cycle on and off.  
Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for  
HI Broil.  
To change to LO Broil, press the

Using the timed baking and roasting features. (Ovens operated with touch pads.)  
On models with touch pad controls for both ovens, you can use timed baking in one oven while using self-clean  
in the other; you can also use timed baking in both ovens at the same time.  
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for  
more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that  
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.  
How to Set an Immediate Start and Automatic Stop  
The oven temperature and the cooking  
time that you entered will be displayed.

The oven will continue to cook for the  
programmed amount of time, then shut  
off automatically, unless the Cook and  
Hold feature was set. See the Special  
features of your oven control section.  
NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you  
may need to add additional time to the length of  
the cooking time.  
Using the HOUR and MIN + or –  
pads, enter the desired baking time.  
The maximum time you can enter

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to  
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.  
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.  
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.  
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling or self-cleaning  
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.  
To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)  
Both touch pad ovens follow the  
same step 1. First press the upper  
oven BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at  
the same time for 3 seconds until  
the display shows SF. Then proceed  
with steps 2 through 4, using the  
pads for the upper or lower oven.  
The oven temperature can be  
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or  
(-) 35°F cooler. Press the TEMP +  
pad to increase the temperature in  
1-degree increments. Press the  
TEMP – pad to decrease the  
temperature in 1-degree increments.  
Press the BAKE pad. A two-digit  
number shows in the display.  
When you have made the  
adjustment, press the START pad to  
go back to the time of day display.  
Use your oven as you would  
normally.  
To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)  
You will hear and feel the notches as  
you turn the knob. Each notch changes  
temperature about 10° Fahrenheit.  
Pull the OVEN knob off the shaft, look  
at the back of the knob and note the  
current setting before making any  
adjustment. The knob is factory set with  
the top screw directly under the pointer.  
Tighten the screws.  
Return the OVEN knob to the oven.  
Pull off the OVEN knob.  
Turn the disk counterclockwise to  
increase the oven temperature.  
Re-check oven performance before making any  
additional adjustments.  
Loosen both screws on back of  
the knob.  
Hold both parts of the knob as  
shown in the illustration of the back  
of the OVEN knob and turn so the  
lower screw moves in the desired  
direction.  
Turn the disk clockwise to decrease  
the oven temperature.  
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you  
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.  
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat  
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.  
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the  
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor  
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing  
at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven. (Ovens operated with touch pads.)  
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.  
Before a Clean Cycle  
We recommend venting your kitchen  
with an open window or using a  
ventilation fan or hood during the  
first self-clean cycle.  
IMPORTANT: 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.  
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all  
cookware and any aluminum foil from  
the oven.  
I On models with touch pad controls  
for both ovens, 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.  
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but  
they will darken, lose their luster and  
become hard to slide.  
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven  
bottom. (appearance may vary)  
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.  
Clean the top, sides and outside of the  
oven door with soap and water.
