OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the oven.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the oven.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the oven unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System
(on some models)
If the lower oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element
will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is
closed.
The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and
smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
■
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
If the lower oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the
broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will
turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
■
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
To Broil:
Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to
the Broiling Chart.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F
and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,
unless recommended in the recipe.
2. Press START/ENTER.
“Lo°” will appear on the lower oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
Close the door.
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
lower oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5°
increments.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START/ENTER.
The set oven temperature will appear on the lower oven
display until the oven is turned off.
When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will
sound.
3. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
3. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To Custom Broil:
Preheating
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling
temperatures.
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the
display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will
sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (77°C and 260°C).
Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The set oven temperature will appear on the lower oven
display until the oven is turned off.
4. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (-3°C to 10°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

■
■
■
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a
toothpick.
1. Press CONV BAKE.

Self-Cleaning Cycle
Food Poisoning Hazard
(on some models)
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour
before or after cooking.
WARNING
Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

to another closed and well ventilated room.
When the stop time is reached, the lower oven will shut off
automatically and “End” will appear on the lower oven
display.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent(s)” section.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled down could
result in the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On combination oven models, the upper oven will not work
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop
Polishing Creme, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths or some
paper towels. Damage may occur.
Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.
