Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven
Racks
Protective Liners -- 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.
Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven).
To Remove: Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches
the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides
of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and
slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level
before using.
Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories
before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not
removed, they may discolor.
Important: Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that
runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic
components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an
extended period of time, even when the oven is off.

Oven Rack Descriptions
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used
for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven
rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven
rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or
roasting large cuts of meat.
The fully extendable oven glide rack allows you to effort-
lessly extend your food away from the oven.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
bakeware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back
of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
bakeware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
Before Setting Oven Controls
Glide Racks
The glide rack is an extendable rack that makes food prepara-
tion easier. It has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled
away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.
Removing and Replacing the Oven Glide Racks
To remove the oven glide rack:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Always remove/replace the oven racks before
turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).
1. Lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of
the rack, as shown in Figure 4.
2.
3.
4.
While holding up the release lever (Figure 5), pull the glide
rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached, use
two hands if necessary.
Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the
glide rack (Figure 6).
Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the
rack away from the oven.
Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions
together when removing or handling the glide rack. The
rack portions move independently and are difficult to
handle unless held together.
Figure 4: Extendable glide rack with release lever in locked
position
Figure 5: Extendable glide rack with release lever in unlocked
position
To replace the glide rack:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Always remove/replace the oven racks before
turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).
1. Grasp both upper and lower portions of the glide rack
(Figure 6).
2. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls.
3. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack
completely into position. Some force may be necessary to
make sure the oven rack has snapped into place. Figure 6: Removing and replacing the oven glide rack
Important note: To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not
attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
positioned inside the oven cavity.

Baking Tips:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies, and muffins.
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results.
Convection baking is preferred for multiple rack cooking.
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 5(Figure 12) and
place pans as shown in Figure 13. Use flat rack in position 5
and glide rack in position 1.
When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 13. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.

Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is
factory preset to broil at 550°F (288°C). The Broil function
temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F
(205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
The suggested broil settings in Table 2 are recommendations
only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase or
decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack posi-
tion. If the food you are broiling is not listed in n Table 2, follow
the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely.
To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cook-
top will become very hot which can cause burns.
Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door
closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or
flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 17). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the
food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan
will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of Convection Bake:
Superior multiple oven rack performance
Foods bake more evenly
Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
Important note:
The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe
instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
If the recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use
convection baking, follow the "Setting Convection Convert"
instructions on page 17. Convection convert will automatically
adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking will
provide the best possible results.
To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F
(177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Press Conv Bake.
2. Press START

Convection Baking/Convection Convert Tips:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It
may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook
time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark
bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is
recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This
allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly
with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's
recommended temperature by 25 ° for best results. Follow
the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended
cook time.
When using convection bake, cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results. Place the pans as shown in Figure 18.
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
Glass bakeware may require reduced temperatures.
When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 5(Figure 19) and
place pans as shown in Figure 18. Use flat rack in position 5
and glide rack in position 1.
When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 18. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Setting Convection Convert
Pressing Conv Convert automatically converts the cooking
temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to the
lower temperature required for convection baking.
When convection convert is used with a timed convection bake
setting of 20 minutes or more, the convection convert function
will display a CF message as a reminder to check food when the
bake time is 75% complete (Figure 20). At this time the oven
control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set
cook time has finished.
Important note:
Convection convert may only be used with the convection
bake function and with a minimum of 20 minutes cook time.
The convection fan will begin rotating once convection
bake, convection roast, or convection convert has been acti-
vated. If the oven door is opened when any convection
function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until
the oven door is closed.
Figure 20: Check Food reminder shown in display.
To program oven for Convection Convert with oven default
temperature of 350°F (177°C) and to shut-off after 30 minutes:

Setting Convection Roast
The convection roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the convection roast function will be juicier and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Convection roast may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convection Roast:
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convection roast. Since convection roast cooks food faster,
reduce the cook time by 25°/'0 from the recommended cook
time of your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until
the desired doneness is obtained.
The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid
will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the
meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
To set Convection Roast with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (177°C):
1. Press Conv Roast.

Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal
for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may
result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn
the outside as it seals in the meat's juices. Two (2) Slow Cook
settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is
best for cooking foods between 4 and 5hours. The low setting is
best for cooking foods up to 9hours or longer.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various
bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type
cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook
times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,
and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be
necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
Important note:
Slow Cook may be used with Cook Time. The maximum cook
time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours and 59 minutes. If a

Setting the Sabbath Feature
(for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper
usage and a complete list of models with the
Sabbath feature, please visit the web at
www.star-k.org.
This appliance provides special settings for
use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath
mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the
oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available
while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are automatically
locked during Sabbath mode.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed
for the oven, and the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if
needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode
will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior
to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of
Cook Time.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour
Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features
are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no
audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the can-
cellation.
If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them
prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned
on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on
until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are
turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven
lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature modification
made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two (2)
presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains on
even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside
of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside
of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest
available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature
again.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of
350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-
inates 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.
Figure 28: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket).
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 28). 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 28). 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.
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do
not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is
important that the sides of the oven racks always have a
light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.
To set self clean:
1. Be sure the oven is empty. Removing oven racks is recom-
mended.
2. Press Self Clean and the default 3 hour clean time will
appear in the display. You may accept the default 3 hour
clean time by going to step 3. If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is
desired, press 200 for 2 hour or 400 for a 4 hour clean
time.
3. Press STARTto activate Self Clean.

Oven Controls
4. As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock
mechanism will begin locking the oven door automatically
and DOOR LOCKED will appear in the display. Do not
open the oven door when door DOOR LOCKED is
displayed (allow 15 seconds for the lock mechanism to lock
the oven). Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear
in the display indicating Self Clean has started.
When Self Clean is finished:
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.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear
to have cooled after they have been turned off. The elements
may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are
touched before they have cooled.
1. CIn message will turn off, and Hot will appear in display
window.
2. When DOOR LOCKED disappears from the display, the
oven may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Important note:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window,
ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self
clean cycle.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for
the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean
function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.
Setting Delay Start Self Clean
To start a delay Self Clean with default clean time of 3 hours
and a start time of 9:00 o'clock:
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven
is empty and ALL oven racks are removed. Be sure oven
door is completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean.
3. Press Delay Start.
4. Using numeric keys enter 90 0 for time to start.
5. Press START
If it becomes necessary to stop Self Clean when active:
1. Press STOP"DOOR LOCKED will flash.
2. If Self Clean has heated the oven to a high temperature,
allow enough time for the oven to cool. When DOOR
LOCKED disappears from the display, the oven may be
opened.
3. Before restarting Self Clean, be sure to read important
notes below.
Important note:
When Self Clean is active you may check the amount of
clean time remaining by pressing the Self Clean key once.
If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the
Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to
start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in
the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before
programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean
to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59
minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the
control in the 24 Hr display mode.
If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean
cycle.
If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean
was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self
Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Recommendation
For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. For more
difficult soils and build-up grease, use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and
water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water;
dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first.
Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts
of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may cause damage to the
appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper
towels. They will damage the finish.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off and activate oven lockout (on some
models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean
using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or
sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
Porcelain enamel parts and door liner Gentle scrubbing with a soapy non-abrasive scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with
a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp
cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled non-abrasive scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauer-
kraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface; they may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
Oven interior
Porcelain coated oven racks

Stainless Steel (some models)
Remove excessive spill overs from oven cavity bottom before starting Self Clean. Clean any
soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket. For very important
cleaning precautions, be sure to read all the instructions on "Self Clean" on page 25.
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important
that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain
optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after
every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door
in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner 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.
The oven gasket located on the frame and visible when the door is opened is essential for a
good seal. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On some models, the oven door gasket is
made of a woven material. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-
free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.

Care and Cleaning
Caring for Your Porcelain Enameled Glide Racks
Handle oven racks only when they are cool.
After cooking or after the self clean cycle, racks will be very hot
and can cause burns.
Important Notes:
It is recommended to remove all racks from the oven during
self clean cycles, but porcelain racks may be left in the
oven if they are soiled. After a self clean cycle, or anytime
the gliding is rough, the glide racks should be treated with
graphite lubrication.
Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based
lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use
only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite
lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.
It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the
oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil.
Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack
after every self clean cycle and when the rack becomes
difficult to reposition in the oven.
To lubricate the glide rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a
large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth.
Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a
cloth or sponge.
4.
5.
6.
Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
Turn glide rack over. Shake graphite lubrication very well
before applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrication
along the tracks. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.
o_
Extend and return the glide rack several times along the
tracks to distribute the lubrication.
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Place
four drops of graphite lubrication along the tracks (see area
circled on figure below). Repeat on both sides of the glide
rack.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the outer frame of the
glide rack as shown below. Keeping the frame sides lightly
lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when
changing rack positions.

Solution
Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Bakeware may be too lightweight or
warped. Use heavier quality bakeware so foods being prepared may bake more evenly.
Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adiusting the
recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See "Adiusting Oven Temperatures"
on page 22 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.
The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.
Be sure oven controls are set properly. See "Setting The Clock" on page 10 and review
instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent, or authorized
servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company.
Short in cord/plug. Contact your dealer, installing agent, or authorized servicer to
replace cord/plug.
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immediately following installation.
House fuse may not be fully engaged. Check fuse and screw or engage circuit breaker
securely.
Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See "Replacing the Oven Light" on page 29.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up
excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using
broil, see "Setting Broil" on page 15.
Oven control not set properly. Make sure the oven door is closed. Make sure you have
removed the oven racks and the oven rack supports from the oven. Review "Self Clean"
