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.
4
• 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 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.
• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with
the convection feature. The fan will stop when the
door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
• 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.

Cookie Sheets
As an added convenience for you when using your
new convection oven, we have provided three
cookie sheets. The cookie sheets provide uniform
baking. They are dishwasher safe. They have an easy
grip lip. They are durable and will not warp or rust.
Cookies should cool at least 2 minutes before
removing them from the sheet.
Your insulated cookie sheets can be used for
convection baking or regular baking. However, if
you choose not to use Convection Bake for baking
cookies and are baking on the insulated cookie sheets,
you may find that the recommended baking time
needs to be increased 3 to 5 minutes.
Insulated cookie sheets are made of two layers of
aluminum with an insulating layer of air. Aluminum
is an oven baking metal. It is not however, a non-stick
surface. If your recipe recommends greasing, spray
lightly with a non-stick vegetable coating; wipe off
the excess. If preferred, put a light film of shortening
on the cookie sheet.
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.
To remove the shelf
Bump
from the oven, pull
the shelf toward you,
tilt the front end
upward and pull the
shelf out.
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 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 seven shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E, F and G (top).

CONVECTION COOKING
What is Convection?
In a convection oven,
a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around
the food. This
circulating hot air is
evenly distributed
throughout the oven
cavity. As a result,
foods are evenly
cooked and
Because food is heated faster in a convection oven
when using the convection modes, many types of food
can be cooked at lower temperatures than those
suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe
books often give times and temperatures for cooking
in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible to
reduce the temperature by 25°F.

browned—often in
less time with
convection heat.
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 on 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 baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.
(Additional shelves may be ordered. Pub No. 3-A014).
• Good for large quantities of baked foods.
• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.
Traditional Roast
• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook
a long time in liquid to become tender.
• Cooking bag
• Foil tent
Traditional Bake
• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top
crust when not baked with convection heat.
• Covered dish
Cookware for Convection Cooking
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.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are
recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F. can also be used.
Metal and Glass
When baking cookies, you will get the best results
if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with
low sides.
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.

CONVECTION BAKING
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for

convection baking.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or
main dishes have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat
the oven and use the temperature on the package.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested
cooking time.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on
two, three or more shelves at a time. Multi-shelf
baking may increase cook times slightly for some
foods but the overall result is time saved. Multi-shelf
baking provides very good results with cookies,
biscuits and other quickbreads.

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

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

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.

that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent over-browning.
21
BAKING
(continued)
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.
Also see the Multi-Shelf Baking section.
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.

the oven.
Turn the food using tongs only once during
broiling. Time foods for the first side according
to the Broiling Guide.
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 fire.
Turn the food, then use the times given for the
second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
Position a shelf on recommended shelf position as
suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done
on E position, but if your oven is connected to 208
volts, you may wish to use a higher position.
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. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks,
the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping the 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 the meat with a fork also allows the juices to
escape. Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?
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.

BROILING GUIDE
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
• When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat
will soil the oven.
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

• If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare
steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler
and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-
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 and the convection
roasting rack 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.

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 Bulb
NOTE: The glass cover should be removed only when
cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
The light bulb is located on the top of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel. Let the bulb cool completely before removing
it. For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with a
damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is
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 damage to
the door.
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
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
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
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:
Inside gasket
Gasket
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back
and pinch fingers.
Outside 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 of the door:
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.
• 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.
• 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.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
• 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 and Convection Roasting Rack
Clean the shelves and the convection roasting rack
with a mild abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves and the roasting rack with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Roasting rack
Oven shelf
NOTE: The oven shelves and the convection
roasting rack may be cleaned in self-cleaning oven.
However, they will darken, lose their luster and the
shelves will 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.
38
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.
Cookie Sheets
The cookie sheets are designed to breathe and therefore are not water tight.
If you wash them by hand, they should not be allowed to soak. If for some
reason they do get soaked, stand them on edge on a towel so the water will
drain out. You may also place the pan upside down in a 250°F. oven for 30
minutes to dry out the moisture. They can also be washed in the dishwasher.
Always allow the cookie sheets to cool before washing.
As with all aluminum cookware, the insulated cookie sheets may darken
with age.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning 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
Glass Window
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or
commercial oven cleaners. To safely clean surfaces;
wash, rinse and then dry with a soft cloth.
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.

FOOD DOES NOT ROAST
OR BAKE PROPERLY
• Oven controls not set properly. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Shelf position is incorrect. See the Baking or Roasting section.
• Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size is being used.
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
Do It Yourself section.
STEAM FROM THE VENT
• When using Convection Bake or Convection Roast, it is normal to see steam
coming out of the oven vent. As the number of shelves or amount of food being
cooked increases, the amount of visible steam will increase.
OVEN TEMPERATURE
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD
• Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
Do It Yourself section.
“BURNING” OR “OILY”
ODOR EMITTING FROM
OVEN WHEN TURNED ON
• This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process,
set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
STRONG ODOR
• An odor from the insulation around the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used. This is temporary.
FAN NOISE
• A cooling fan or a convection fan (depending on the function you are using)
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 off.
