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.  
1. Roasting rack  
2. Broiler grid  
3. Broiler pan  
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.  
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than  
325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set  
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).  
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to  
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the  
temperature of pork and poultry in two or three places.

OVEN CARE  
WARNING  
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.  
Burn Hazard  
To Set a Cook Time:  
1. Press BAKE or CONV BAKE.  
Do not touch the oven during the  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than the  
one displayed.  
Keep children away from oven during  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
2. Press COOK TIME.  
3. Press the number pads to enter the length of time to cook.  
4. Press START/ENTER.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in burns.  
The start time, stop time, vertical bar countdown and minute  
time countdown will appear on the lower oven display.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to  
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to  
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds  
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.  
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The  
door gasket is essential for a good seal.  
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder  
tones will sound every minute.  
5. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL or open the lower oven door  
to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.  
To Set a Cook Time and Stop Time [Delay Start]:  
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of  
day. See “Clock” section.  
Prepare Oven:  
1. Press BAKE or CONV BAKE.  
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,  
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.  
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,  
damaging the oven.  
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.  
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.  
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area  
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to  
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough  
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,  
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this  
area.  
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than the  
one displayed.  
2. Press COOK TIME.  
3. Press the number pads to enter the length of time to cook.  
4. Press STOP TIME.  
5. Press the number pads to enter the time of day to stop.  
6. Press START/ENTER.  
The start time is automatically calculated and displayed.  
“DELAY” and the stop time will also appear on the lower oven  
display.  
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.  
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,  
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not  
affect cooking performance.  
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically  
turn on. The vertical bar countdown and minute time  
countdown will appear on the lower oven display.  
When the stop time is reached, the lower oven will shut off  
automatically and “End” will appear on the lower oven  
display.  
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder  
tones will sound every minute.  
7. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL or open the lower oven door  
to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

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.
