Operating Instructions children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven—children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured. ■ For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. ■ Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.

Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. OVEN Operating Instructions ■ Always remove the broiler pan from oven as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan. ■ When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups. ■ Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

Safety Instructions Using the oven. Before you begin… Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support. Read over the information and tips that follow. Operating Instructions Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new oven.
Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that, 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. To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the 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.
Safety Instructions Using the baking feature. Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended 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 lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
Pan Placement Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur. 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. ■ Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
Safety Instructions Using the timed baking feature. How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically at the end of cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off after a preset cooking time) will be described.
CAUTION: To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on. You can set the control to delay the start of cooking, cook for a specific length of time and then turn off automatically. Touch the BAKE pad. Touch the TEMP +/– pads to set the oven temperature. NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you may need to add additional time to the length of the cooking time.
Safety Instructions Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it youself! 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.
Using the roasting feature. Before You Begin Roasting… Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, the 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. REMEMBER: Food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.
Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the roasting feature. Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a roast or poultry? 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 lbs. check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed. A.
Using the broiling feature. Before You Begin Broiling… If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through it about 2″ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8″ thick. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire. NOTE: Always broil with the oven door closed.
Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the broiling feature. ■ Always use the broiler pan and grid 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. NOTE: Always broil with the oven door closed. ■ 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.
Using the self-cleaning oven. Safety Instructions The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
Safety Instructions Using the self-cleaning oven. After a Clean Cycle 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 soapfilled steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle. Operating Instructions If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
Care and cleaning of the oven. Pan Broiler Pan and Grid After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out 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. Grid 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.
Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the oven. Removable Oven Bottom Unlock Lock The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. Oven bottom must be replaced before using the self-clean cycle. To remove: Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom to the left. Lift the oven bottom up and out. Operating Instructions To replace: Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back.
To clean the inside of the door: To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges. ■ Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the oven. Adjusting Orifice Hoods Nat. L.P. Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner cones of the flames should be about 1/2″ long. If the flames are not right, use a 1/2″ open-end wrench or adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood. To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood by turning in the “L.P.” direction. To lengthen the cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the “Nat.” direction.
