IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or

explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

■Do not attempt to operate this oven with

the door open since open-door operation

can result in harmful exposure to

microwave energy.

It is important not to

defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

■Do not place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing

surfaces.

■The oven should not be adjusted or

repaired by anyone except properly

qualified service personnel.

■Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It

is particularly important that the oven door

close properly and that there is no damage

to the:

■door (bent)

■hinges and latches (broken or

loosened)

■door seals and sealing surfaces.

MICROWAVE TERMS ANDDEFINITIONS

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing

is caused by:

■

metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■

foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act

like antennas).

■

metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed

dishes.

■

recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and

reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with

wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked

foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you

use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips

of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before

larger parts.

Standing Time

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts

or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to

set. Standing time is especially important in microwave

cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on

a cooling rack.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the

plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam

can escape.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering

pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be

put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type

fire extinguisher.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■

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.

■Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the

cooking center.

■Wear proper clothing. Loose fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance. Flammable

material could be ignited if brought in

contact with hot heating elements and

may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

touch hot heating elements. Do not use a

towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can

catch fire on a hot element.

■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders, and other linens a safe distance

from your oven.

■Always keep wooden spoons and plastic

utensils and canned food a safe distance

away from your oven.

■Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your oven.

■Do not store flammable material in an

oven or near the cooking center.

■Do not cover or block any openings on the

appliance.

■For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils, or food in the oven when not

in use.

■Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

■Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or

near the cooking center.

■Do not touch heating elements or 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.

■Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent

openings, surfaces near the openings, and

crevices around the oven door.

■

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodborne illness.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive Microwave

Energy” section in this manual.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

■Do not over-cook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other

combustible materials are placed inside

the oven to facilitate cooking.

■Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic containers before placing bags

in oven.

■Do not use your microwave oven to dry

newspapers.

■Do not pop popcorn in your microwave

oven unless in a special microwave

popcorn accessory or unless you use

popcorn labeled for use in microwave

ovens.

■Do not over-cook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage

to your oven.

■Do not operate the oven while empty to

avoid damage to the oven and the danger

of fire. If by accident the oven should run

empty a minute or two, no harm is done.

However, try to avoid operating the oven

empty at any time—it saves energy and

prolongs the life of the oven.

■Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not

in use.

■If materials inside the oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off,

and shut off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel. If the door is opened, the

fire may spread.

■This microwave oven is not approved or

tested for marine use.

■Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers—for example, closed

jars—will explode and should not be

heated in this microwave oven. Such use of

the microwave oven could result in injury.

■Do not operate the microwave oven

without the turntable and support in place.

■Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is

thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute

the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent

scalding when warming formula or breast

milk. The container may feel cooler than

the milk really is. Always test the milk

before feeding the baby.

■Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.

Pressure will build up inside the egg

yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly

resulting in injury.

■Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as

potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples,

chicken livers and other giblets, and egg

yolks should be pierced to allow steam to

escape during cooking.

■Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-

necked bottles (especially carbonated

beverages). Even if the container is

opened, pressure can build up. This can

cause the container to burst, possibly

resulting in injury.

■Hot foods and steam can cause burns.

Be careful when opening any containers

of hot food, including popcorn bags,

cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent

possible injury, direct steam away from

hands and face.

■As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

MICROWAVE OVEN

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does

not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled

“suitable for microwaving.”

WARNING!

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

■If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-

safe, use this test: Place in the oven both

the dish you are testing and a glass

measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—

set the measuring cup either in or next to

the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high.

If the dish heats, it should not be used

for microwaving.

■If the dish remains cool and only the water

in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-

safe.

■If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

■Do not use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed

paper can contain metal flecks which may

cause arcing or ignite. Paper products

containing nylon or nylon filaments should

be avoided, as they may also ignite.

■Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal

embedded in the bottom. When

microwaved, the metal can burn the floor

of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

■Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

■Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in order

to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam

can escape.

■Oversized food or oversized metal

cookware should not be used in a

microwave oven. Electrical shock or

fire could occur.

■While paper plates may be used for timed

cooking and defrosting, do not use them

with Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwave-

safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover

with plastic wrap.

■Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated

food. Pot holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

■“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced

or vented as directed by package. If they

are not, plastic could burst during or

immediately after cooking, possibly

resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least partially

uncovered because they form a tight seal.

When cooking with containers tightly

covered with plastic wrap, remove

covering carefully and direct steam

away from hands and face.

■Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less

than 3/4″high; remove the top foil cover

and return the tray to the box. When using

foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at

least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

■Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware

designed for microwave cooking is very

useful, but should be used carefully.

Even microwave-safe plastic may not

be as tolerant of over-cooking conditions

as are glass or ceramic materials and

may soften or char if subjected to short

periods of over-cooking. In longer

exposures to over-cooking, the food

and cookware could ignite.

■

Follow these guidelines:

■Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the

cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

■Do not microwave empty containers.

■Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete

supervision.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.

ARCING

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the

cup when it is moved or when something like

a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing

injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2

minutes per cup.

After heating, let the cup stand in the

microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or

putting anything into it.

Spontaneous boiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we

recommend the following before removing

the container from the oven:

■Allow the container to stand in the oven for

30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off.

■Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked

containers such as soft drink bottles, wine

flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee

cups. Even if the container is opened,

excessive steam can build up and cause it

to burst or overflow.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the

oven. Arcing is caused by:

■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or

gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

■Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the microwave.

SUPER HEATED WATER

■Steam or vapor escaping from around

the door.

■Light reflection around the door or the

outer case.

■Dimming of the oven light and change

in the blower sound may occur while

operating at power levels other than high.

■The microwave fan may operate with both

ovens off. It is cooling the control and will

turn itself off.

■Some TV-radio interference might be

noticed while using your microwave oven.

It’s similar to the interference caused by

other small appliances and does not

indicate a problem with your oven.

■A dull thumping sound while the oven

is operating.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR MICROWAVE

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper

installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

WARNING!

SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN

■ Stand away from the oven when opening

the oven door. 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.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Keep the cooking center clean and free of

accumulations of grease or spillovers,

which may ignite.

■ Never leave the oven door open when you

are not watching the cooking center.

■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in

the oven, follow the manufacturer’s

directions.

■ 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.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■ 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 fire

next time you use the oven.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings

in or near your oven.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Use and

Care Manual.

■Do not clean the door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or

move the gasket.

■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 probe, broiler pan, grid and other

cookware.

■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting a self-cleaning cycle.

■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the

power supply. Have it serviced by a

qualified technician.

■Listen for a fan— a fan noise should be

heard sometime during the cleaning

cycle. If not, call for service before self-

cleaning again.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

Changing the microwave power level.

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Time Cook,

Time Defrost or Express Cook. The power level may also be changed during time countdown.

To change the power level…

Press the

TIMECOOK

pad or the

TIME

DEFROST

pad.

Enter cooking or defrosting time.

Press the

POWER LEVEL

pad.

Select desired power level 1–10.

Press the

START

pad.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave

cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven

can be compared to the surface units on a range.

Each power level gives you microwave energy a

certain percent of the time.

■

Power level 7

is microwave energy 70%

of the time.

■

Power level 3

is energy 30% of the time.

■Most cooking will be done on

High

(power level 10)

which gives you 100%

power. Power level 10 will cook faster

but food may need more frequent

stirring, rotating or turning over.

A lower setting will cook more evenly and

need less stirring or rotating of the food.

Some foods may have better flavor,

texture or appearance if one of the lower

settings is used. Use a lower power level

when cooking foods that have a tendency

to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave

energy cycles off) give time for the food

to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside

of the food. An example of this is shown

with

power level 3

—the defrost cycle.

If microwave energy did not cycle off,

the outside of the food would cook

before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for

various power levels:

■

High 10:

Fish, bacon, vegetables,

boiling liquids.

■

Med-High 7:

Gentle cooking of meat

and poultry; baking casseroles and

reheating.

■

Medium 5:

Slow cooking and

tenderizing for stews and less tender

cuts of meat.

■

Low 2 or 3:

Defrosting; simmering;

delicate sauces.

■

Warm 1:

Keeping food warm; softening

times. (Auto Defrost explained in the About the

auto feature section.)

Defrosting Tips

■

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages

should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food

has partially defrosted. Plastic storage

containers should be partially uncovered.

■

Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a

foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe

dish.

■

Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to

sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.

Room temperature promotes the growth of

harmful bacteria.

■

For more even defrosting of larger foods, such

as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large

meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

■

When defrosted, food should be cool but

softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return

to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a

few minutes.

Using the microwave sensor cooking features.

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the

cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Sensor Cooking

■The proper containers and covers are

essential for best sensor cooking.

■Always use microwave-safe containers

and cover them with lids or vented

plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing

plastic containers—they can prevent

steam from escaping and cause food

to overcook.

■Be sure the outside of the cooking

containers and the inside of the

microwave oven are dry before

placing food in the oven. Beads

of moisture turning into steam

can mislead the sensor.

Popcorn

To use the Popcorn feature:

Follow package instructions, using

Time Cook if the package is less than

1.75 ounces or larger than 3.5

ounces. Place the package of

popcorn in the center of the

Press the

POPCORN

pad. The oven

starts immediately.

If you open the door while POP is displayed,

ERROR will appear. Close the door, press the

How to Adjust the Popcorn Program to

Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time:

If you find that the brand of popcorn you

use underpops or overcooks consistently,

you can add or subtract 20—30 seconds to

the automatic popping time.

To add time:

After pressing the

POPCORN

pad, press

the

pad immediately after the oven

starts for an extra 20 seconds. Press the

pad again to add another 10 seconds

(total 30 seconds additional time).

To subtract time:

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

Preheating is necessary for good results

when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and

breads.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much

as possible.

Pans should not touch each other or the

walls of the oven. If you need to use two

shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other, and leave

approximately 11⁄2″between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the 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 essentially

frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of

the oven.

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.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

NOTE: 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.

Seven shelf positions are shown.

Some models have 4 or 6 positions.

To preheat, set the oven at the

correct temperature. The control

will beep when the oven is

preheated and the display will show

your set temperature. This may take

approximately 10 minutes.

Adjust the lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few

weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust

the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.

These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be

retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the

other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of

baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning lower oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen

with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood during the first

self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from

the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but

they will darken, lose their luster and

become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Clean the top, sides and outside of the

oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover

(on some models) is in place and the

oven light is off.

IMPORTANT:

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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

You may notice some white ash in the

oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after

the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-

filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a

vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt

residue that cannot be removed by

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooking center.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish

of the product, the safest way to remove

the adhesive left from packaging tape on

new appliances is an application of a

household liquid dishwashing detergent,

mineral oil or cooking oil.

Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

Wipe dry and then apply an appliance

polish to thoroughly clean and protect

the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must

be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be

removed if it is baked on.

Microwave Oven

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the

turntable into water just after cooking.

Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or

in the dishwasher.

The turntable and support can be broken

if dropped. Remember, do not operate

the microwave oven without the turntable

and support in place.

To replace the support, place its center

post in the hole. Turn the support

around until it seats into place.

Inside

Keep the microwave oven clean and

sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a

few minutes after cooking helps air out

the interior. An occasional thorough

wiping with a solution of baking soda and

water keeps the interior fresh.

Spills and spatters are easy to remove

from walls and floor if they are wiped up

soon after the food is removed. Some

spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some

may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy

spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse

and dry.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can

break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Wipe up spatters on the window on the

inside of the door daily. When the

window is soiled, wash it with a damp

cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside

of the door frequently. Use a damp cloth

to remove all soil.

Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders

or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the

surface.

Outside

Clean the outside of the microwave oven

with soap and a damp cloth, then rinse

with a damp cloth and dry. Wipe the

window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome

is best wiped with a damp cloth and then

with a dry towel.

Door Surface

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven

that come together on closing the door,

use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or

detergents applied with a sponge or

soft cloth.

If you use a Brown ’N Sear Dish:

Use Bon Ami® brand cleanser. High heat

generated on the bottom of the Brown ’N

Sear Dish can cause stains to bake onto

the oven floor if grease is present.

These may be removed with Bon Ami®

brand cleanser. After using this cleanser,

rinse and dry thoroughly, following

cleanser instructions carefully.

Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any part

of your microwave oven.

Oven Shelves

(lower oven)

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive

cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,

rinse the shelves and rack with clean

water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves may 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.

To make the shelves slide more easily

apply a small amount of vegetable oil

or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe

the edges of the oven shelves with the

paper towel.

Lift the door straight up and off

the hinges.

Do not rub or clean the door

gasket—it has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

(lower oven)

The lower oven door is removable for

easier access to the light bulb.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door,

open it to the broil

stop position. Grasp firmly on each side

and lift the door straight up and off

the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the

oven door frame.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges

are in the broil stop position. Position the

slots in the bottom of the door squarely

over the hinges and slowly lower it over

both hinges.

To clean the 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.

■ The area outside the gasket and the

front frame can be cleaned with a soap-

filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot

water and detergent. Rinse well with a

vinegar and water solution.

To clean the 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. Do not let water

drip into the vent openings.

■ 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.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

Lower Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil

element. Any soil will burn off when the elements

are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake

element. Clean with warm soapy water.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel

after each use. 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 cleansers, 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.

Broiler Pan & Grid

(lower oven)

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-

cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan

from the oven. Remove the grid from the

pan. Carefully pour out 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.

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 may be

cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be

cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid

anywhere in the cooking center.

After broiling, remove the broiler

pan from the oven.

Lower Oven Light Bulb

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven

light bulb, disconnect the electrical

power to the cooking center at the main

fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb

cool completely.

To remove the cover:

Hold a hand under the cover so it

doesn’t fall when released. With

fingers of the same hand, firmly

push back the wire cover holder.

Lift off the cover.

Do not remove any screws to remove

the cover.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt

To replace the cover:

Place it into groove of the light

receptacle. Pull wire forward to

the center of the cover until it

snaps into place.
