Before setting oven controls

Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (Figure 2). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent, this is normal. Do not block oven vent.

Types of oven racks
flat oven rack

Figure 2: Oven vent
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior and oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns.
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Figure 3: The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
Removing, arranging and replacing racks:
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven.
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit oven rack onto the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Oven Control Features

Setting Broil
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Watch food to prevent burning.
When broiling, always remember to arrange the oven racks while oven is still cool. Position the rack as suggested in Table 2.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always use oven mitts. Oven racks will become very hot which can cause burns.

Oven Control Features

Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for heavy cleaning.
Read Before Starting Self Clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Important note:
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
· Remove all items from the oven including bakeware, utensils and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
· Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
· Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (Figure 8). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.
· Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 8). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.
· Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

Oven Control Features

Adjusting Oven Temperatures
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure accurate baking temperatures. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F (+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.

To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:

1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an audible tone (about 3 seconds). The factory offset temperature of 0 (zero) should appear in the display.

2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keys.

3. To offset the oven by -20°F, press Self Clean to toggle to the minus (-) setting.

4. Press

to accept change.

Important note:
· Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil or Self Clean function temperatures.
· Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20°F to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
· The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your oven control is set to display temperatures in °C. Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius range from plus (+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

20

Care and Cleaning
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.

· Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
· If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

Care and Cleaning

Surface or Area Oven door

Cleaning Recommendation
Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Glass cleaner may be used on the outside glass of the door. Ceramic smoothtop cleaner or polish may be used on the interior door glass. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or cleaners to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Important notes:
· Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances.
· Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Cleaning under bake element
The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity. For some models, if the lower bake element is visible it may be tilted up for easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Remove the oven racks before raising the element. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Replacing the oven light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity and are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (See Figure 14).
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
Important note:
Do not allow your fingers to touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb when installing.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
