USING 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 oven interior. 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.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
NOTE:
• A 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.
• You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To spee
the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of
hours. See the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when the control panel
light switch is turned on.
Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
above the door or between door and air grille.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and
good baking results. Do not block this vent.
8
Dven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stoa-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and
will not tilt when you are removing food from them
or placing food on them.
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.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward
you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.
Be sure the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved extension of 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 six shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E, and F (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
NOTE: The highest position (above F) is only
a support. It is not intended to be used as a shelf
position in these models that do not have the
convection feature.

BAKING
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. We recommend that
you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar
with your new oven's performance. If you think an
adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven
Thermostat section. It gives easy Do B Yourself
instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
NOTE: When the oven gets hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the oven get hot too.
How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct
position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the
desired temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word "ON"
and "100 °'' will be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing temperature.
When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a
tone will sound.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished
and then remove the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE
cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE
or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in
the middle of the
oven, on either shelf positions C or D. See the chart
for suggested shelf positions.
NOTE: To bake 4layers of cake at one time,
position 2 layers on shelf B and 2 layers on shelf D
with the pans staggered so that one is not directly
above the other.

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.
10
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
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
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.
Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in
glass baking dishes reduce the temperature by 25°F.
Pan Placement
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.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to l%-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 palls SOone is not
directly above the other.
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
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, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies
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.
Cakes
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.
(continued next page)
11
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover ashelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in
poor baking. Asmaller sheet of foil maybe used
to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
BAKING
(continued)
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.
TIMED BAKING
How to Time Bake
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times that you set.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows
the correct time of day.
To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad,
Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until
the correct time of day is displayed. Press the
CLOCK pad to start.
How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

automatically, foods continue cooking after the
controls are off.
NOTE:
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to
sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
• A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.

NOTE:
The low temperature zone of this oven (between
150°1=.and 200°E) is available to keep hot cooked
foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two
hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
• A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool,

ROASTING
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 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.
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 10°E;
to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove
the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to 10°E less than the
temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature has been reached.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
2. Check the weight of
the meat. Place the
meat fat-side-up, or
poultry breast-side-up,
on roasting rack 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 rack is a good pan for this.)
BAKE ]
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or
DECREASE pad until the
desired temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically.
The word "ON" and "100 °'' will be
displayed. As the oven heats up, the
display will show the changing
temperature. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, a tone will sound.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
CLEAR roasting is finished and then remove
OFF the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then
the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the
new temperature.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with
ameat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at
the completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For
roasts over 8 pounds, check with thermometer at half-
hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to
carve it?
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.

Q.
A.
Q.
A.
Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook
a roast or poultry?
It is not necessary to preheat your oven.
When buying a roast, are there any special tips
that would help me cook it more evenly'?
Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy rolled roasts.
Can I seal the sides of my foil "tent" when
roasting a turkey'?
Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown
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.

BROILING
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat
from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish
and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these
directions to keep spattering and smoking to a
minimum.
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the
foods for the first side according to the Broiling
Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for
the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
If desired, the fat maybe trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler
pail; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
3. 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.

5. Press the BROIL pad.
6. Press the INCREASE pad once for HI Broil or
press the DECREASE pad once for LO Broil.
To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the
BROIL pad then press the DECREASE pad once.
7. When broiling is finished press the CLEAR/OFF
pad. Serve the food immediately and leave the
pail outside the oven to cool during the meal for
easiest cleaning.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it
just like the rack.
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. 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 broiler pan with
food in oven. Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil for 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.
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
_,. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also
allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use
a rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack 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 rack and stay cooler, thus preventing
excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying
the broiler rack lightly with avegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.
(contimwd next page)
17
BROILING GUIDE
• Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes
with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking
and spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.
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 the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing the juices.
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to
10 minutes only.
When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edge
hang over the sides. These could soil the oven bottom
• The broiler does not need to be preheated.
However, for very thin foods, or to increase
browning, preheat if desired.
• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the eve]
shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing
cooking time given in this guide 1 ½ times per side.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick
pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them
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: 3hours
Before a Clean Cycle
The oven must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle.
We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-
clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they can't
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide.
2. Wipe up any spillovers, residue or ash. Gently lift
the bake element to wipe up the oven floor. Both
the bake and broil elements are cleaned in the self-
clean cycle. If you use soap to wipe up any excess,
rinse thoroughly to prevent staining during the
clean cycle.

.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.
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.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
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.
Do not let water run down through openings
in the top of the door.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven
light is off. If the oven light is not turned off,
the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may
burn out immediately. The door latches
automatically after the clean cycle is set.
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 temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.

at a specific time.
Q.
A.
Q.
A.
Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any
part of my self-cleaning oven?
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.
What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
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 word "LOCK" is
off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset
the clean cycle.
Q. Is the "crackling" or "popping" sound Ihear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
Q.
A.
Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
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.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from
heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines
do not affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave adeposit which is ash.
It can be removed with adamp sponge or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is
the matter?
A.

CARE AND CLEANING
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.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE
OVEN.
Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves
with an abrasive
cleanser or steel
wool.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned
in the self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will
darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to
slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. Wipe
the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning
to make shelves slide more easily,
Broiler Pan and Rack
After broiling, remove ff-lqr/l.__rrrl_._.I._._--_. \
the broiler pan from the (ll cl/I/llltll IlI/l/t//\l\/\\_
oven. Remove the rack
from the pan. Carefully
pour out grease from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and rack in hot water
with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
[f food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned on foods.
The broiler pan and rack may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and rack can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or rack in the self-
cleaning oven.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere

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, discomlect 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.
To remove:
Turn to remove the cover,
then remove the bulb.
To replace:
Put in a new 40-watt

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.
To remove the door, open it a
few inches to the special
position that will hold the door
open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and
off the hinges.
NOTE:
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame.
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers.
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 towards the oven frame, pull
them back out.
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 b'
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
The area outside the gasket call be cleaned with
a 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 damage
in any way or if it has become displaced on the doe
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Inside Gasket

Outside of the door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on
the outside of the door.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn
off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillovers,
residue or ash accumulate around the bake element gently wipe around the
element with warm water.
