•
•
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.
• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• 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.

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

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.
• Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten
cooking times and cook foods more evenly

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.
• 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.
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.
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.
• 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.

Using the Oven
Baking
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.
BAKE (Two-Element Bake)
Full power heat is radiated
from the bake element in the
bottom of the oven cavity and
supplemental heat is radiated
from the broil element. This
function is recommended for
single rack baking. Many
cookbooks contain recipes to
be cooked in the conventional
manner. Conventional baking/
two-element bake
roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high
temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.
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.

heated air is circulated by the

oven providing a more even
heat distribution. This even
convection bake
circulation of air equalizes the
temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and

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

• Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
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.

Roasting
CONV ROAST*
Roasting Tips (cont.)
(Convection Roast)
• 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
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
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.

2
inch (1.3 cm) further into
convection roast
gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this
setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum
cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan
speed. This is normal.
Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking”
section for additional information.
Roasting Tips
ALWAYS use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. 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.
• 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%.
• 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.
• 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.

Broiling
CONV BROIL*
LOW BROIL
(Convection Broil)
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.
The top element operates at full
power. This function is exactly the
same as regular broiling with the
additional benefit of air circulation
by the motorized fan in the rear of
the oven. Smoke is reduced since
the airflow also reduces peak
temperatures on the food. Use
this setting for broiling thick cuts
of meats.
convection broil
low broil
Broiling Instructions
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.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum
cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan
speed. This is normal.
HI BROIL
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.
Heat radiates from both broil
elements, located in the top of
the oven cavity, at full power. The
distance between the foods and
the broil elements determines
broiling speed. For fast broiling,
food may be as close as 2 inches
(5 cm) to the broil element or on

of meat.
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the
temperature control knob to “Broil”.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil elements
pulse on and off to produce less
heat for slow broiling. Allow about
4 inches (10 cm) between the top
surface of the food and the broil
element. Slow broiling is best for
chicken and ham in order to broil
food without over-browning it.
Use this setting for broiling small
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open

not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required.

Broiling Tips
Broiling Chart
• 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.

• 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.

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.

remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the
material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a

Cleaning and Maintenance
Self-Clean Cycle
Brass Parts
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.
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.
CAUTION
To avoid the risk of property damage, DO NOT USE BRASS
CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY BRASS PARTS. All
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water.
When hot soapy water will not do the job, use every day household
cleaners that are not abrasive.
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.
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
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.
Oven Racks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Self-Clean Cycle
Replacing Oven Lights
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the
knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within
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.

4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is
completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe
temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 3-1/2 hours with an
additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for
the door latch to disengage.
1. Unsnap glass light cover

3. Replace with halogen bulb
using volt and wattage
requirements listed on glass
cover.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and
temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven has
completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven
surfaces with a damp cloth.

To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature
control knob and the oven function selector knob to “OFF”. When the
oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch
will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has
completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp
sponge or cloth.
5. Reconnect power at the main
fuse or circuit breaker.
