To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage  
Child Safety (cont.)  
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before  
operating it.  
Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,  
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.  
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken  
to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.  
NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite  
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may  
cause them to burst.  
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.  
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children  
should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be  
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.  
Cooking Safety  
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you  
know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct  
element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before  
removing pan.  
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and  
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.  
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the  
appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the  
rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface  
element.  
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially  
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as  
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.  
NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element or in the oven.  
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal  
injury or damage to the appliance.  
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may  
become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT  
leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire  
hazard.  
Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.  
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders  
because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught  
on appliance parts.  
In Case of Fire  
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish  
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.  
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before  
attempting to move or handle.  
DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or  
near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent  
grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the  
hood turn the fan off.  
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-  
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.  
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.  
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders.  
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must  
be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.  
ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.  
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before  
moving or replacing food.  
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could  
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only  
as directed in this guide.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a  
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise  
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.  
Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.  
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.  
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or  
foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.  
Child Safety  
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet  
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,  
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely  
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be  
unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.  
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in  
use or is still hot.  
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they  
could be injured or burned.  
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing  
to reach items could be seriously injured.

Warnings  
Cooking Safety (cont.)  
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE  
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.  
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking Surfaces  
Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot enough to cause burns.  
NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior  
surfaces of oven.  
Utensil Safety  
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near  
elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause  
burns.  
During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable  
material contact surface of unit or areas near unit, heating elements, or  
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If cooking surface  
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken  
cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified  
technician immediately.  
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay  
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans.  
Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they  
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled  
with food may also be hazardous.  
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid  
boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan  
will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the  
bubble action of fat.  
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over  
adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the  
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by  
small children.  
Cleaning Safety  
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or  
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the surface elements or surrounding areas  
until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the  
appliance.  
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can  
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.  
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are  
suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the  
sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when  
using glass.  
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional  
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically  
recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface  
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of  
devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual  
can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and  
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.  
Self-Clean Oven  
Clean only parts listed in this guide. 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 of any kind in or around any  
part of the self-clean oven.  
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and other utensils and  
wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or  
flaming.  
This range features a cooling fan which operates automatically during a  
clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean operation and  
contact an authorized servicer.  
It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of the range to become hot  
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface  
during a clean cycle should be avoided.

Before Using Range  
Warnings  
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any  
visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the  
manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range  
thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and  
odors on first use of the appliance–this is normal.  
WARNING  
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven  
reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits.  
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion  
of the self-clean cycle.  
Glass Rangetop  
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.  
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the  
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other  
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,  
causing permanent damage to the oven.  
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough  
cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.  
Oven  
IMPORTANT! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and  
dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat  
to 450°F, and operate for an hour.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after  
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become  
extremely hot to the touch!  
All models include:  
A broad range of baking and broiling modes—up to eight cooking  
modes in all—to make even your most challenging baking projects a  
success  
• Strong, wear-resistant glass ceramic surface for excellent cleanability  
• Split baking and broiling elements—which reduces preheating time  
and provides greater control and more even heating  
• A reversing fan which is two times larger than most on the market—  
this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly—even  
when baking large quantities  
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may  
be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in the high-  
density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly  
cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning  
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.  
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-  
CLEAN CYCLE.

important that you preheat your oven  
to the desired cooking temperature  
before placing food items in the oven  
to begin cooking. In many cooking  
modes, partial power from the broiler  
is used to bring the oven to the preheat  
temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the  
oven during the preheat mode is not recommended.  
The Viking Rapid Ready™ Preheat System is engineered

For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed to be  
brought up to the set point temperature in a different manner than the  
preheat mode for conventional bake. This is because TruConvec is  
designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack  
positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it  
is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat to  
350°F in TruConvec mode when compared to the amount of time it  
takes to preheat the oven cavity to 350°F in conventional bake mode.  
Concealed bake element  
Rack Positions  
Each oven is equipped with two full extension oven racks and one  
standard rack.. All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the  
farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven  
bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various  
levels. For best results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more  
than one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks,  
to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.  
Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as  
room temperature and power supply. A significantly colder room  
temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the  
time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set temperature.

Using the Oven  
Conventional and Convection Cooking  
Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips (cont.)  
• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require  
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to  
convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by  
preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving  
acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the  
similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction  
during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a  
time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the  
convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time  
until satisfactory results are achieved.  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,  
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional  
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended  
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other  
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake.  
This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique  
which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire  
oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with  
convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for  
baking heavier foods.  
Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9°C) and the cooking  
time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the  
same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller  
load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or  
cooking large loads.)  
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it  
is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time. This is  
especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast  
function.  
Pan Placement Tips  
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of  
the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.  
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one  
of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th positions or the 3rd  
and 5th positions for more even baking. When baking on three  
racks, use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more  
consistent results.  
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans  
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly  
above another.  
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even  
air circulation.  
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods  
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods  
that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include:  
pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience  
foods.  
Multiple Rack Pan  
Placement  
Single Rack Pan  
Placement  
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,  
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3  
and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.  
See “Oven Features” illustration.  
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This  
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven  
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right  
after they are set out of the oven.

adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in  
the center of the product should come clean when done.  
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure  
best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be  
baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use  
of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-  
coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.  
heat distribution. This even  
convection bake  
circulation of air equalizes the  
temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and  
cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection  
baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks—a  
feature not possible in a standard oven.  
When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing  
meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on  
the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be  
baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even  
when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot  
air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this  
setting for baking and roasting.

Solving Baking Problems  
Roasting  
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for  
the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important  
to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are  
accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from  
those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary  
to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.  
CONV ROAST*  
(Convection Roast)  
The convection element runs in  
conjuction with the inner and  
outer broil elements. The  
reversible convection fan runs at  
a higher speed in each  
direction. This transfer of heat  
(mainly from the convection  
element) seals moisture inside  
of large roasts. A time savings is  
gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this  
setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.

2. Dark pans being used 2. Use shiny pans  
3. Incorrect rack position 3. Use recom. rack position  
4. Wrong bake setting  
1. Use door window to  
check food  
Roasting Tips  
ALWAYS use pans with low sides such as a broiler pan. The hot air  
must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. DO NOT  
cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly  
for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin and  
meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry  
directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to  
stand at room temperature.  
4. Adjust to conventional  
or convection setting  
as needed  
5. Pan too large  
5. Use proper pan  
Food too brown on  
top  
1. Rack position too high 1. Use recom. rack position  
2. Oven not preheated  
3. Sides of pan too high  
1. Hot cookie sheet  
2. Allow oven to preheat  
3. Use proper pans  
1. Allow sheet to cool  
between batches  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25˚ F (-3.9˚ C) and the cooking  
time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
Cookies too flat  
ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting  
rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add  
water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry  
heat process.  
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan.  
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during  
roasting.  
Pies burned around  
edges  
1. Oven too hot  
2. Too many pans used  
3. Oven not preheated  
1. Reduce temperature  
2. Reduce no. of pans  
3. Allow oven to preheat  
Pies too light on top  
1. Oven not hot enough 1. Increase temperature  
2. Too many pans used  
3. Oven not preheated  
2. Reduce no. of pans  
3. Allow oven to preheat  
• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will  
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.  
• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional  
bake setting rather than either convection setting.

Roasting Tips (cont.)  
Conventional Roasting Chart  
• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the  
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry insert the  
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part  
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,  
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat

temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After  
reading the thermometer once, insert it ⁄  
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature  
registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.  
• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and quality  
of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in  
the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking  
techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the  
thermometer registers 5˚ F (-15˚ C) to 10˚ F (-12˚ C) lower than the  
desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from  
the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in  
order to make carving easier.

Broiling  
LOW BROIL  
Broiling Tips  
This mode uses only a fraction  
of the available power to the  
inner broil element for delicate  
top-browning. The inner broil  
element is on for only part of  
the time. Use this setting to  
gently brown meringue on racks  
3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are  
designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from  
the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.  
To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to  
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended  
time, season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or  
removing food.

Broiling Instructions  
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a  
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is  
used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.  
Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and  
the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.  
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the  
food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated  
oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel  
over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour  
water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the  
broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning  
easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan. Although  
it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be  
sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so  
melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking, or  
the possibility of grease fire.  
Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for  
cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of  
meat. Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food  
slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats  
produces better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on  
the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with  
less shrinkage.  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the  
temperature control knob to “Broil”.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does  
not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element  
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required.  
A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce  
smoke and odors.

2. Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area.  
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the  
scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.  
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional  
protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface  
with the cleaning cream.  
5. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves  
a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to  
prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make  
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this  
protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more  
susceptible to staining.

Self-Clean Cycle  
Oven Racks  
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this  
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and  
deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with  
the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven  
after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically  
activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the  
door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.  
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a  
soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS OR RACK  
SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due  
to the extreme heat of the self-clean cycle.  
Power Failure  
No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.  
Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.  
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:  
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The  
high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and  
damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the  
self-clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.  
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only  
when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will  
function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not  
affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the  
range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until  
power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off  
and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.  
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use  
oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the  
door.  
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle  
begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean if  
not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and  
up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse  
thoroughly and dry.  
WARNING  
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL  
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns  
or electrical shock.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning  
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the  
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,  
there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in  
the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is  
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-  
cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high  
temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning  
cycle.

30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator  
light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven  
reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off  
during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated  
temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light  
comes on.  
CAUTION  
To avoid risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch bulb with bare  
hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a  
soft cloth.
