How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove 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 must be removed from the chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You???ll find them on a label on the front of the oven behind the oven door.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your oven. Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:

MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

???Read dl instructions before using ttis appliance.

~.~iPORTANT 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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

??? The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning 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.

??? Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the oven.

??? Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the oven,

???Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

???Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the oven. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot heating elements and may cause severe burns.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

c Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

???! MPORTANT SAFETY ~STRUCTIONS

(continued)

???Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

??? When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer???s directions.

??? Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely

by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

???Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. ~ese 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 the oven vent openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

???When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170??F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

???Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. The 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 duct unobstructed.

???Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

USING YOUR OVEN

(continued)

Offset Shelf

The offset shelf provides more cooking space between itself and the shelf above it. This allows more flexibility when placing foods in the oven. See the Multi- Shelf Baking section.

The offset shelf can be placed at any shelf position.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could

be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out.

To remove the shelf, pull it forward to the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf.

To replace the shelf, tilt the shelf up at the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf under the stop-locks on the shelf supports. Then slide the shelf all the way into the oven.

Shelf Positions

???

The oven has 4 shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

CONVECTION COOKING

???

iat is Convection?

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over. under tind around the food, This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cality. As a result, foods tire evenly cooked and hrowne(]-often in

\-

Because food is heated faster in a convection oven when using the convection modes. many types of food can be cooked at tower temperatures than those suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe books often give times and temperatures for cooking in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible to reduce the temperature by 25??F. For more information on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

CAUTION: The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened, DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or yoLI may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

IVhen should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?

Before using yoLIr convection oven, check to see if??? your cookware teaves room for air circulation in the o???Jen. If yOLI are baking with several pans, leave sp~ce between them. Also. be sure the pans do not toL!ch each other or the walls of the oven.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the ftistest and arc I-econlrncnded for convection baking.

>. ~L1l.kerled 01. mat[e-finisheci pans w i] 1 bake filstcl. an shiny pans.

- Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistont paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is hea- resistant to temperatures of 400??F. can also be used.

When baking cookies, yOLI will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

CONVECTION BA~NG

(upper oven only)

Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25??F. for convection baking. For more specific instructions, follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

For more information on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on two or three shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, biscuits, and quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the third

(C) shelf position and straight shelves in first

(A) and fourth (D) shelf position.

Offset Shelf

For 2-shelf baking, place the offset shelf in the bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight shelf in the third (C) shelf position.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holdin& the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out.

NOTE: When convection baking with only one shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven??? Shelves in the Regular Baking section.

WGULAR BAKING

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

~he middle of the oven, on either shelf position

B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

(continued)

Preheating

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.

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.

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 also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, reduce the temperature by 25??F.

???If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25??F. to prevent overbrowning.

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 I - to I X-inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

???.

18

;ing Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

Cookies

When baking cookies, tlat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-lookin& cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

[Jo not use a cookie sheet so large that it [Ouches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a !~helf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results during regular baking, use on]y one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Also see the Multi-Shelf Baking section.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil plUIS should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

?tiking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away ,1 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.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and resu]t 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.

Don>t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes ~!???ovide minimum and maximum baking times such

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 bakin& results may also be affected.

ADJUST THE OVEN THEWOSTAT???

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find 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 yoLu- recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make lt hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20+0 degrees.

The thermostat adjustment for Bake does not affect Convection Bake or Convection Roast.

To adjust these. press the CONVECTION BAKE or the CONVECTION ROAST pad instead of the BAKE pad when following the steps under To Adjusl the Thermostat.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

NOTE: The thermostats in the upper and iower ovens need to be adjusted separately.

~GULAR ROASTING

???

ur double oven has controls for the upper oven and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF, COOK 1???IME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and DECREASF; pads can be used for either oven.

Roastin: is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in yoLu??? oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low tind stetidy, keep spattering to & minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Boking. (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. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5?? to 10???F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner

(at 5?? to 1OOF. less than the temperature in the Regular 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.

M REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE

see the Regular Roast~IIg Guide. (upper oven On]j;)

Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe

???

Your double oven has a probe in the upper oven only.

A temperature probe has been provided for use in your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures. Temperature probes provided with other products, such as those used for microwave ovens, may not be designed to withstand high temperatures. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleanin& cycle.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal f???ood temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, the oven automatic~lly shuts off.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at 1 end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet on the oven wall.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and wall outlet. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the probe???they might damage it,

TO AVOID BREAKING THE PROBE, MAKE

SURE FOOD IS COMPLETELY DEFROSTED BEEtJi<E INSERTING.

BROILING

27

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your 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 frying, not broil ing.

Questions and Answers

~.When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan?

A.Yes. Using the grid 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

(T1-id and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive e

spatter and smoking.

Q.Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent meat from sticking?

4.No. The broiler grid is designed to reflect broil ci- heat, thus keeping the surface coo] enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

. ???.$???hy are m~ meats not turning out as brown as the)??? should?

???t . In some areas. the power (vol[age) to the o\en nla> be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for I () minutes before placing broiler pan with food in o\en. Check to see if you are using the recotntnended shelf position. Broi I for longest

period Of time indicated in the Broi]iltg GLtiLle, ???rLUn 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?

A.No. Salt draws out the juices and OIIOWS them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. Turn the tneat with tongs instead of a fork.

???

28

???

BROILING GU~E

Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping 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 meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

???If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to I () minutes only,

???When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat cou]d soil the oven.

???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 oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 !A 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 o~~n shelf one position higher.

Your double oven has controls for the upper oven and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF, COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.

~uestions and Answers

Q.If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A.If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q.Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A.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 afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q.Can I clean both ovens at the same time?

A.No. There is too much heat. The control only allows one oven to clean at a time.

Q.Can I clean in one oven and use the other for Baking?

A.Yes. You will be able to bake in one oven while self-cleaning the other oven. You will not be able to use any timed operations.

n.What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A.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 I hear during cleaning normal?

A.Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating

and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q.Should there be an odor during the cleaning?

A.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 a deposit which

is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q.My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is the matter?

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 strtiight up and off the hinges.

NOTE:

???Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

???While working in the oven area, cover the hinges

with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel on the frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the or slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time. If hinges snap back against 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 by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

???The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled 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 damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside Gasket

Outside of the door:

???Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

???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, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Heating Elements

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.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, 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.
