YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand

how to set them properly. Read over the directions

for the Oven Controls so you understand how to

use them.

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 information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this book 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 from the oven, and will not

tilt when removing food from or placing food on

them.

To remove the shelf from the oven, pull it forward to

the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain

that the shelf is cool before touching it.

To replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at

the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf

under stop-lock on shelf support. Then slide the shelf

all the way into the oven.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out

to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the

shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will

eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Offset Shelf

To replace the shelf, tilt the shelf

up at the front and slide the curved

extension of the shelf under

locks on shelf supports. Then slide

the shelf all the way into the oven.

To remove the shelf, pull it

forward to the stop-locks and lift

the front of the shelf.

The offset shelf provides more

cooking space between itself

and the shelf above it. This

allows more flexibility when

placing foods in the oven. See the

Multi-Shelf Baking section.

The offset shelf can be placed at

any shelf position.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this

illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

See the Multi-Shelf baking section for shelf

placement suggestions.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically when the door

is opened.

OVEN

Use the pad on the control panel to turn the light on

and off when the door is closed.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking food for the first time in your new

oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven

thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from

the factory setting and the differences in timing

between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are

not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the

factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven

which it replaced.

What is Convection?

In a convection

oven, a fan circulates

of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than

in less time with

convection heat.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door

is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long

periods of time while using Convection Bake or you

may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

When should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?

To help you understand the difference between

convection bake and roast and traditional bake and

roast, here are some general guidelines.

In convection roast, heat comes from the top

heating element. The convection fan circulates the

heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat

and poultry are browned an all sides as if they were

cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack

In convection bake, heat comes from the heating

element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan

circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the

food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having

a bake time of over 15 minutes.

provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and

around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in

juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at

the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

In regular or traditional baking, the bottom

heating element heats the air in the oven which then

cooks the food.

Convection Roast

●

Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

●

Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement

around food.

Convection Bake

●

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked

on all 3 shelves.

Roast

●

Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook

a long time in liquid to become tender.

●

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel

food cake and bread.

●

Cooking bag

Foil tent

Covered dish

Traditional Bake

●

Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top

crust when not baked with convection heat.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Paper and Plastic

Before using your convection oven, check to see

if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in

the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave

space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not

touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are

recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in

convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is

resistant to temperatures of

can also be used.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results

if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with

low sides.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection

oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are

recommended for convection baking.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should

use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well

around food in a pan with high sides.

●

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster

than shiny pans.

●

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

Use the temperature called for in your recipe.

You may find that you need to reduce it by

depending on the type of food you are cooking.

For more information on adapting recipes, see the

Convection Cookbook.

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake

time of over 15 minutes.

Check foods for doneness at the minimum

suggested cooking time.

In most cases, cooking time will be less when using

the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking

time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour.

To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want

it, we recommend using the temperature probe

provided with the oven.

The special roasting rack and pan allow heated air

to circulate over and under the meat. This allows the

meat to brown on all sides.

When you are convection roasting you will use the

broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack. The

pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used

to prevent grease spatters. The rack holds the meat.

This rack allows the heated air to circulate under the

meat and increase browning on the underside of the

meat or poultry.

1. Place the offset shelf in the lowest shelf position (A).

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in

the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution

when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you

pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two

pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of

it. The shelf is low and you could be burned if you

place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat

means bringing the oven up to the specified

temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set

the oven at the correct temperature—selectin_ga

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.

●

Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the

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 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, lower the temperature by

and use the recommended cooking time in

the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies

or casseroles.

(continued next page)

(continued)

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions

for the best baking results.

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.

For best results during regular baking, use only

one cookie sheet in the oven at a time on shelf at

either position B or C. Also see the Multi-Shelf

baking section.

Cakes

Pies

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

recommended 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.

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.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover a shelf entirely with a large cookie sheet

or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet

of foil may be used to catch a

by placing it

on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek

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.

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.”

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or

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 BAKE or

Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is

easy; just

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it, fat side up,

(or for poultry breast-side-up) on a trivet in a

shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.

Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as

possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan

for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil

when using the pan for marinating, cooking with

fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food

during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials

inside the oven or inside the oven door.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,

after being removed from the oven. Standing time

recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to

carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to

to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,

remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to

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 to

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. Do I need to grease my

broiler grid to prevent meat

from sticking?

Q. When broiling, is it

necessary to always use

a grid in the pan?

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as

they should?

A. No. The broiler grid is

designed to reflect broiler heat,

thus keeping the surface cool

enough to prevent meat from

sticking to the surface.

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.

A. In some areas, the power

low. In these cases, preheat the

broil unit for 10 minutes before

period of time indicated in the

Broiling Guide. Turn food only

once during broiling.

Q. Should I salt the meat

before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices

and allows them to evaporate.

Always salt after cooking. Turn

meat with tongs; piercing meat

with a fork also allows juices to

escape. When broiling poultry

or fish, brush each side often

with butter.

and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded

lower part of the pan.

6. The broiler does not need to be preheated.

However, for very thin foods, or to increase

browning, preheat if desired.

2. The oven door should be open to the broil stop

position.

in the top of the door. To

prevent water

from getting in these slots when cleaning, open

the door as far as it will go.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven— they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures. (Oven

shelves may be left in oven. NOTE: Shelves will

discolor after the self-clean cycle.)

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 in any way or if it has become

displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you

use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to

prevent staining.

4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D)

is off. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in

place. Door latches automatically after the Clean

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 the shelves

slide more easily.

E. Oven Vent Grille

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A

combination of any of these products plus the high

clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain

finish of the oven.

3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),

under the front edge of the oven vent, the door liner

outside the door gasket and the front edge of the

oven cavity (about one inch into the oven). Use

detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel

wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water

mixture. This will help prevent a brown residue

from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these

areas with a dry cloth.

Important

The oven door must be closed and

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. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor during the first few

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not

affect how your oven performs.

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around

the oven surface and damage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Why do I have ash

in my oven after

cleaning?

of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the

word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the

excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” 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. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves may

lose some luster and change to a deep gray color.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven 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 from the oven.

Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the

grease in the pan into a proper container. Wash, scour

if necessary with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad,

in hot, soapy water. Rinse the pan and grid in hot water,

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid while hot,

with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a

dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose

while the meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid in the oven.

Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

The broiler pan and grid may also be cleaned in

a dishwasher.

Oven Lamp Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven lamp bulb,

disconnect the electrical power for your oven at

the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the

plug. Be sure to let the lamp cover and bulb cool

completely before removing or replacing them. When

if touched with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning,

avoid touching warm lamps with cleaning cloths if the

lamp cover is removed.

push back the wire until it clears the cover. Lift off

the cover.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.

Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

Place it into the groove of the lamp 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.
