Always keep the range area clear and free from things that will burn.

CAUTION:

Never store things in an oven or near cooktop elements/ burners. These things may catch fire and plastic Items could melt.

Never wear loose clothing when

using your range. Such clothing could catch fire.

Never let pot handles stick out over the front of the range, Turn handles In so that they cannot be bumped into. Keep the handles away from other hot surface ele- ments/burners.

Never use your range for warming or heating a room. You could be burned or seriously injured. Such misuse could also cause damage to the range.

Never use a towel or other bulky cloth as a potholder. Such cloths could catch fire on a hot element/burner.

Never leave cooktop elements/ burners unwatched at high heat settings, Bollovers cause smok- ing and greasy spillovers could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

Keep this book for later use.

Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly by a qualified technician.

Always use care when touching surface elements, oven heating elements or inside the oven. Heating elements could be hot enough to burn you even if they are dark In colo r. The oven vent duct and oven door may also become hot during oven use.

After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the oven and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pan can catch on fire next time you use the pan.

Always use dry potholders when removing pans from

the oven. Moist or damp potholders can cause steam burns.

Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air and steam out before moving food.

Always follow cleaning Instructions in this book. Always keep the range clean. Food and grease are easy to ignite. Clean the oven regularly.

Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance away from your range. Never store such items in or on your range.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils or canned food a safe distance away from your range.

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from things that will burn, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Always remove the broiler pan and other utensils from the oven before a self-clean cycle.

Clean Only parts listed in the Manual.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders, and linens a safe distance away from your range. Never store such items In or near your range.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause injury,

Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings on or near the range. Never let grease build up on your range. You can keep grease fires from starting if you clean up grease and spills after each range use.

Neverusaaluminumfolltoline oven bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in case of a fire.

Read and understand this information NOW! Should you ever need it, you will not have time for reading.

INSTRUCTIONS

Never block free airflow through the oven vent.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Walt until the fat has cooled.

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element In oven.

Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an uncovered element and waste less energy.

Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will not break when heated on the cooktop elements.

Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable parts of your range In the oven during a self-clean cycle. Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self- cleaning oven. The gasket Is essential for a good seal. If the self.cleaning mode malfunctions, turn off and disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a qualified technician.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the range unless instructions are given In this book. All other work should be done by a skilled technician.

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.

Never put removable heating elements In water. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not put them In the self- clean cycle of your oven.

Never use the cooktop without reflector pans or drip bowls in place. If these pans or bowls are not there during cooking, wiring or other range parts may be damaged.

Never clean cooktop surface when It is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam burns If used on a hot surface.

OVEN FIRE

Do not try to move the pan.

1.Close oven door and turn controls off.

2.If fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire. Never use water on a grease fire -- It will only

spread the flames.

OVEN COOKING

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.

Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and Is apt to be more accurate than the oven it replaced.

After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust

it yourself. See THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS in this manual.

Always follow recipe carefully.

Measure Ingredients properly.

Use proper pan placement.

Place pans on the oven racks with 1" - 1 1/2" of air

space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding the oven.

Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom, block the free movement of air, Im- proper air movement causes uneven browning and cooking.

2 cake layers

Do not lock the oven door during baking, The lock/unlock handle Is used for self-cleaning only.

Avoid opening the door too often to check the food during baking as heat will be lost. This may cause poor baking results.

Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should be baked in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat -- because they should have a light golden crust, Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat -- because they should have a brown, crisp crust.

Be sure the underside of the pan Is shiny too, Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.

4 cake layers

When baking several items stagger pans so that no pan is directly above another.

Always turn oven to OFF before removing food.

During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep oven door open as short a time as possible.

Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked products. Watch the oven Indicator light and

put the food in the oven promptly after the IIght goes out.

fish, meat, poultry, etc., sit for more thanNever I hourlet foodbeforesuchcookingasdairystartsproducts,when you set your oven for a delay start.

Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure

the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed bacteria growth.

Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees below recommended temperatures If exterior of pan Is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof

BROILING

???Do not lock oven door during broiling. The lock/unlock handle Is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil burner. Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat

should be selected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.

After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on the rack In the lower oven. The recommended rack

position and cooking time can be Iound In the chart at right.

The closer the food is to the broil burner, the faster the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink

In the center. Moving the meat farther away from the burner lets the meat cook to the center while

browning outside. Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than side two.

Your oven door should be open to the broil stop position while broiling. If the door is closed the rood will roast and not broil.

Use only the broiler pan and g rid that came with your range for broiling. They are designed for proper

drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.

Do not preheat when broiling. Preheating may cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off and on. For even broiling on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.

Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling,

For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before turning the meat. Salt the second side just before serving.

Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It is not necessary to turn fish.

???Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.

Grease In the pan may smoke or burn the next time the oven Is used.

???Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting out a grease fire. See the section on safety.

Do not cover the entire broiler grid with foil. Poor drainage of hot fat may cause a broiler fire.

It a fil;e starts, close the oven door and tum controls off. If fire continues, throw baking

soda on the fire. Do not put water on the fire.

POSITIONING BROILER PAN

This chart Is a general guide. The size, weight, thick- ness, and starting temperature of tile food, as well as your own personal preference, will affect the cooking time. Times in the chart are based on the food being at refrigerator temperature.

THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE

BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE

1.Remove the broil pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils and any foil that may be in the oven. Do not try to clean utensils or any other objects in the oven du ring a self-clean cycle. If oven racks are left in the range during a clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. If you choose to leave the racks In the oven, you can polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges after the self-clean cycle. This wi, make the racks easier to slide.

2.Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner outside the door seal and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" into the oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.

Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then

rinse well.

FRONT FRAME

1.Set DELAY S'_AR_ TIME KNOB on the clock to the present time ?? f day.

2.Set the STOP*'IME knob to thetime of day when you want the clean cycle to end.

Note: The oven will not unlock until the temperature has dropped to a safe level; about 30 minutes after the stop time.

3.Turn OVEN SET KNOB to CLEAN.

4.Turn OVEN TEMP KNOB counterclockwise to CLEAN. Turn the knob all the way until It stops.

5.Slide the door lock/unlock handle all the way to the right to lock the door. You may need to press on the door slightly to get It to lock.

OFF

3.Wipe up heavy spiliovers on the oven bottom. Too much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.

4.DO NOT rub or clean the door gasket (seal). 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.

For your safety, the oven door cannot be unlocked while the oven is at clean- ing temperature. Alter a clean cycle, the door cannot be unlocked until the temperature has dropped to a safe level (about 30 minutes).

TO INTERRUPT A CLEAN CYCLE:

1.Turn STOP TIME knob to the current time of day.

2.Walt about 30 minutes.

Do not force the door lock handle. Slide door lock/ unlock handle to left to unlock door.

3.Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF.

WHEN A CLEAN CYCLE IS FINISHED:

1.Stop time will be the same as the time of day.

2.Wait about 30 minutes. Do not force the door lock handle. Slide door lock/unlock handle to left to unlock door.

3.Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF, Turn OVEN TEMP KNOB clockwise.

AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe It up with a damp cloth.

If white spots remain, scrub them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a white vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle

8 may be repeated.NESCL22-1

TO SET DELAYED CLEAN CYCLE:

NOTE: Clock must be set to correct time of day.

1.Turn OVEN SET KNOB to CLEAN.

2.Set the Delay Start Time Knob on the clock to the time of day when you want cleaning to begin.

3.Set the Stop Time Knob to the time of day when you want the clean cycle to end. (See recommended cleaning times on previous page.)

4.Turn OVEN TEMP KNOB to CLEAN. Turn the knob all the way until it stops.

5.Slide the door lock/unlock handle all the way to the right to lock the door.

After cleaning ends, wait about 30 minutes for oven to cool. Turn OVEN SET KNOB and OVEN TEMP KNOB to OFF. Slide doorlockiunlock handleto left to unlock door. Nevertorcethe door lock handle.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS

The temperature in your new oven has been set cor- rectly at the factory, so be sure to follow the recipe temperatures and times the first few times you bake in your new oven.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermom- eters, such as those found in the grocery store, to

readjust the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 20 ?? - 40??F. Your oven

has been preset to maximize cooking efficiency.

if you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25??F higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

To adjust knob:

1.Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF and remove the knob by pulling straight off.

2.Look at the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to the center of the bottom screw indicates the original factory setting.

3.Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws about 2 turns each.

4.Hold the knob handle (A on illustration)while turningthe disk (Bon illustration)in thedeslred directionto increase or decrease the temperature. (See illustration_low for "Self-Clean Thermostat".) As you turn, you should be able to hear clicks and feel notches or teeth. Each click or notch Is 15??F. You can turn up to 2 clicks cr notches in either direction.

5.When you reach the desired adjustment, retighten both screws.
