Using Your Oven

The electronic oven controls

There are three parts in the oven control section:

-The digital display.

-The command buttons.

-The Time/Temp Set Knob.

Instructions for each oven control are covered on the following pages. Read them carefully.

When you first plug in the oven, the display will flash the last time of day set. If, after you set the clock (see below) the display again flashes the last time of day set, your electricity was off for a while. Reset the clock.

Digital display/clock

When you are not using the oven, this is an accurate digital clock. When using the oven or Minute Timer, the display will show the time, temperature settings and what command buttons have been pressed.

When showing the time of day, the display will show the hour and minutes

When setting the Mmute Timer, the display will show minutes and seconds as follows :

. For settings from 0 minutes to 1 minute 55 seconds, the display will increase in 5second increments.

1 For settings from 2 minutes to 9 minutes 50 seconds, the display will increase in lo-second increments.

1 For settings from lo-59 minutes, the display will increase in 1 minute increments.

. For settings from 1 hour to 1 hour 55 minutes, the display will increase in 5-minute increments.

1 For settings from 2 hours to 9 hours

50 minutes, the display will increase in lo-minute increments.

When using Cook Time, the display shows hours and minutes.

Command buttons

The command buttons tell the oven what to do and in what order. A few examples:

-Clock tells the oven you are going to set the clock.

-Set/Cancel tells the oven to turn off.

Each command button (except Set/ Cancel) has its own indicator. The indicator comes on when you touch the command buttons.

Time/Temp Set Knob

Once you???ve pushed a command button to tell the oven what you want it to do, you???ll use the Time/Temp Set Knob to set a temperature or time. Turning the Time/Temp Set Knob clockwise

increases the number on the display. Turning the Time/Temp Set Knob counterclockwise decreases the number on the display.

Rack positions

There are two straight racks for the single/upper oven and one straight rack for the lower oven.

Your oven has four rack positions. Rack position 4 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven. Be sure to arrange the oven rack(s) before putting foods into the oven or turning

the oven on.

To remove oven racks:

1.Pull rack out until bar on back of rack touches first stop.

2.Lift front of rack up until rear position of rack slides out between the two front stops.

Preheating the oven

For best results, preheat the oven until the Oven ON Signal Light goes out, unless the recipe states otherwise. Set the oven at the desired temperature.

In lower oven, exercise care in turning the Temperature Control so you do not go past the desired set point. If you accidentally go past the desired setting, turn the dial fully counterclockwise and then reset to the desired setting to get an accurate temperature setting. The Oven ON Signal Light will go out when the desired temperature has been reached and will cycle on and off with the elements during the heating period.

Be sure the Lower Oven Temperature Control is turned fully counterclockwise or to OFF when the oven is not in use.

Baking or roasting

Setting the oven controls

1.Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, lift rack at front and pull out. For information on positioning racks, see ???Howto position racks and pans??? on page 6.

2.Push the Bake Temp button. ???---OF??? will show in the small display.

NOTE: If the oven door is latched when you try to bake, the LOCK indicator will show in the large display and you will be unable to continue. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the left to unlatch the door.

3.To set a baking temperature, turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until the desired temperature shows in the small display. The display will increase in 5??F increments. The BAKE and ON indicators will come on.

NOTE: If a bake temperature is not set within 30 seconds after pushing the Bake Temp button, ???---OF???will disappear from the display.

4.The oven is preheated when you hear one beep and the set temperature shows in the small display.

NOTE: The small display will show the actual oven temperature in 5??? increments, starting at loo???, while the oven is preheating.

5.Put food in the oven.

During baking, the elements will turn on and off to keep the oven temperature at the settmg. The top element helps heat during baking, but does not turn red.

6.When baking is done, push the Set/ Cancel button or turn the Time/ Temp Set Knob until ???---OF???shows in the small display. The oven will then shut off.

How to Dosition racks and Dans

**

The rack(s) should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines for specific foods:

. Angel and bundt cake pans, yeast breads, frozen pies, large roasts am turkeys - place rack on lowest level

. Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and meats - place rack on second level from bottom

1 Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non- frozen pies - place rack on second or third level from bottom

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

Fire And Personal Injury Hazard

. Always position oven racks in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the racks are level.

1If racks must be moved while oven is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.

. Do not let potholders or oven mitts contact hot heating ele- ments.

. Always use a dry potholder or oven mitt to change racks or handle utensils in the oven. Do not use a damp potholder or oven mitt. Steam bums could result.

Failure to follow the above precautions may result in fire or personal injury.

The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

nPlace the pans so that one is not directly over the other.

. Allow 1 l/2 - 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

. Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans.

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

NOTE: ???Ovenpeeking??? may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Use a reliable kitchen timer to keep track of the cooking time.

How to use aluminum foil for

baking:

Use aluminum foil to catch spill-overs from pies or casseroles.

n In single/upper oven, place the foil on the oven rack below the rack with the food. In lower oven, place the foil on the oven rack below the food. The foil should have the edges turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around than the dish holding the food.

n Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor cooking results.

Electrical Shock, Fire And Product

Damage Hazard

n Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements because it will damage them and could result in shock or fire hazard.

n Do not line oven bottoms with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.

Broiling

Setting the oven controls

1.Position the rack before turning on the oven. The oven rack should be positioned so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches (7.4 cm) away from the broil element. Refer to a rack placement chart and broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for recommended rack positions

and broiling times.

2.Place food on grid on the broiler pan and place in the center of the oven rack. Turn the pan so that the long side is parallel to the oven door for the best heat distribution.

3.Close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 6 inches, 15.2 cm). The door will stay open by itself.

NOTE: The door must be partly open whenever the oven is used to broil. Leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures. Door can remain closed during broiling, however results may differ.

4.Push the Broil button. ???---???Iwill show in the small display and the BROIL indicator will come on.

NOTE: If the oven door is latched when you try to broil, the LOCK indicator will show in the large display and you will be unable to continue. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the left to unlatch the door.

5.Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until the desired broiling setting shows in the small display (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, HI).

HI-Broil element on 100% of the time

5-Broil element on 90% of the time

4-Broil element on 80% of the time

3-Broil element on 70% of the time

2-Broil element on 60% of the time l-Broil element on 50% of the time

Most broiling is done at the HI setting. If food is cooking too fast, broil times can be varied by using broil settings 1 through 5.

6.When broiling is done, push the Set/Cancel button. Time of day will then show in the large display.

Custom broil (lower oven)

. If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclockwise until the Oven ON Signal Light goes off.

. If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature Control between 150??? and 325??F (65.5??? and 162.7???C). The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.

Broiling tips

1 Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to dram excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.

1 Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for correct broiling times.

1 After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if it is left in the heated oven.

Fire Hazard

. Place meat the correct distance from the element. Meat placed too close to the element may spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiling.

. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling. Also, covering the broiler grid with foil is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may result in fire. If foil is used, cut slits in foil to correspond with all openings in broiler grid. Grease can then drain away and cool in pan.

Adjusting the oven temperature control (single/ upper oven)

Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted

gradually without you noticing the change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But, when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:

1.Push the Bake Temp button. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob clockwise to a temperature setting above 500??F.

2.Immediately push and hold the Bake Temp button again until the display shows ???00???.

3.Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until the desired temperature change (between -35??F and 35??F) shows in the display.

4.Push the Set/Cancel button to enter the new temperature.

Using the electronic Cook Timer clock (single/upper oven)

The electronic Cook Timer clock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Automatic baking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven such as meats and casseroles. Do not use the automatic cycle for cakes, cookies, etc...undercooking will result.

To start baking now and stop automatically:

To delay start and stop automatically:

1.Position the oven racks properly, and place the food in the oven.

2.Make sure the clock is set to the right time of day. (See ???Setting the electronic clock??? on page 4.)

3.Push the Cook Time button. ???:OO??? will show in the large display and the OVEN, TIME and HR indicators will come on.

4.Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob clockwise until the desired baking time shows in the display.

5.Push the Stop Time button. The DELAY, OVEN, STOP and TIME indicators will come on. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob clockwise

until the desired stop time shows in the large display.

The oven will beep once every 10 seconds until a baking temperature is selected.

6.Push the Bake Temp button and set the desired temperature. The BAKE indicator will come on.

7.Changes can be made at any time by pressing a command button.

8.When the start time is reached, the DELAY and OVEN indicators will go off. The display will show the set temperature and the ON indicator will come on.

9.When the baking time is completed, the oven will turn off automatically, beep three times, and the time of day will show in the large display.

To avoid sickness and food waste when using the electronic Cook Timer clock:

. Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish. Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or frozen before it is put in the oven. MOST UNFROZEN

FOODS SHOULD NEVER STAND

MORE THAN TWO HOURS

BEFORE COOKING STARTS. 9Do not use foods containing

baking powder or yeast when using delay start. They will not rise properly.

. Do not allow food to remain in oven for more than two hours after end of cooking cycle.

The oven vent

3.Close door to the Broil Stop position (door will be open about 6 inches).

4.Hold the door firmly on both sides and lift the door up and out of the hinge slots to remove. Set the door aside.

The standard-cleaning lower oven (double oven)

The standard-cleaning lower oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy

water, soapy steel wool pad, or a commercial oven cleaner. See ???Cleaning Chart??? on page 12 for further

instructions.

Using foil

To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy- duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the rack under food. Foil or pan should be slightly larger than the cooking container.

NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to cover the oven floor. Poor baking results

Using the Self-Cleaning cycle (single/upper oven)

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.

Before you start

Do not hand clean seal

1.Clean the areas shown by hand. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel wool pad on..

. The inside of the door. (The center area of the door does not need to be hand cleaned.)

1The frame around the oven.

Do not clean, move or bend the fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result.

2.Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven.

NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

3.Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: Some smoke may appear during the very first cleaning cycle due to burn- off of binders in oven insulation.

The smoke eliminator will handle the normal flow of odors during the Self- Cleaning cycle. However, minor smoke may be noticed when soil build-up is heavy.

Page 10

NOTE: The bottom element is hinged for easier cleaning of the cavity floor. The bottom element must be in the down position before beginning the Self- Cleaning cycle.

4.If you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean them by hand. Otherwise, put oven racks on second and fourth guides (guides are counted from bottom to top). After racks are cleaned in the Self- Cleaning cycle, they become harder to slide. See page 12.

Turn on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self- Cleaning cycle. This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.

NOTE: The lower oven will not operate while the upper oven is being cleaned.

Personal Injury And Product

Damage Hazard

. Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.

. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners may produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.

.Do not force the Lock Lever, you could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.

. Do not use foil or other liners in the oven. During the Self-Clean- ing cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

1Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

. Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent. They may melt.

Setting the controls

right time of day. (See ???Setting the electronic clock??? on page 4.)

2.Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right. The LOCK indicator will come on.

3.Push the Clean button and turn the Time/Temp Set Knob 4 settings to the right. A 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle will be set. ???3:OO???will show in the large display. The CLEAN, TIME, HR, CLEAN, LOCK and ON indicators will come on.

If a Self-Cleaning cycle other than 3 hours is desired, push the Clean button. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob to the new time up to 4 hours.

1 Use 2 hours for light soil.

. Use 34 hours for moderate to heavy soil.

If the door is not latched, ???DOOR??? will appear in the display and the oven will beep. Latch the door and the LOCK indicator will come on.

NOTE: When the oven temperature exceeds normal baking temperatures, the Lock Lever cannot be moved to the left. The Lock Lever must not be moved and the door cannot be opened until the oven temperature goes below normal baking temperatures approximately 45 minutes after the cycle is completed. Never force the Lock Lever. If the lever will not move, allow the oven to cool longer, then try again.

4.After the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed, the oven will beep 3 times and the large display will show the time of day.

5.After the oven cools, move the Lock Lever back to the left. The LOCK indicator will go off. Do not force the Lock Lever. Wait until it will move easily.

6.After the oven is cool, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth. If needed, touch up spots with a soapy steel wool pad.

Setting the controls for a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle

Special tips

. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

. Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

1 If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn???t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand clean areas noted on page 10.

How it works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875??F (468??C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.

This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self- Cleaning cycle for three hours.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1.Push the Set/Cancel button.

2.When the oven cools to below normal operating temperatures, move the Lock Lever back to the left. Do not force it. Wait until it moves easily.

Self-Cleaning cycle - three-hour setting

Notice that the heating stops when the three-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
