SELF-CLEAN OVEN (IF EQUIPPED)

The self-clean oven uses temperatures above normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.

Avoid contact with the oven door and window as these areas become warm during the self-clean cycle.

It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

Basic Instructions

1. Close oven door.
2. Move the door lock lever to the right or locked position.
3. Press SELF CLEAN pad.
4. Press ▲ or ▼ pad to select cleaning time.

• Light soil – 2 hours
• Average soil – 3 hours
- Heavy soil – 4 hours

Before Self-Cleaning

Remove all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a clean cycle.

Turn off oven light before clean cycle. The life of the bulb may be shortened if left on during the clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame and around the oven vent with a non-abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami or soap and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking during the clean cycle.

Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces and sugary spillovers. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up immediately.

Do not use oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

During Self-Cleaning

When the SELF CLEAN pad is pressed and the door is locked, the oven will automatically begin to heat to cleaning temperatures.

As the oven reaches cleaning temperatures, the LOCK indicator will turn on to show that an internal lock mechanism has engaged. At this point, the oven door can not be unlocked and opened.

To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not force the door open when the LOCK indicator is displayed.

The first few times the oven is cleaned, some smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal and will reduce or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, or if the broiler pan is left in the oven, smoke and odor may occur.

As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage your appliance.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the internal lock will disengage and the LOCK indicator will turn off. At this point, the door can be unlocked and opened. Move the door lock lever to the left or unlocked position and open the door.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.

Fine, hair-like lines may appear in the oven interior or oven door. This is a normal condition resulting from heating and cooling of the porcelain finish. These lines do not affect the performance of the oven.

To set oven for a self-clean cycle:

1. Remove oven racks and close the oven door.

2. Move the door lock lever to the right or locked position.

3. Press the SELF CLEAN pad.

- 3 HR:00 will appear in the display and SET CLEAN TIME will flash in the display. After a few seconds delay, the oven will automatically turn on. CLEAN and ON will appear in the display.

- If you wish to change the cleaning time, press the SELF CLEAN pad and press the ▲ or ▼ pad to select 2 hours for light soil or 4 hours for heavy soil.

- "door" will appear in the display and continuous beeps will sound if the oven door is not locked.

- If the door is not locked or the clean time is not entered within 30 seconds of pressing the SELF CLEAN pad, the program will automatically be cancelled.

1. Press CLOCK pad and the current time of day will reappear in the display. CLEAN and ON will remain in the display to show that the oven is in a clean cycle.

About one hour after the clean cycle ends, the LOCK indicator will turn off and the oven door can be opened.

The oven door and door lock lever will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when the LOCK indicator is still displayed.

To cancel clean cycle:

1. Push CANCEL pad.

2. If the LOCK indicator is displayed, allow oven to cool up to one hour. Once LOCK indicator turns off, the door can be unlocked and opened.

If the LOCK indicator is not displayed the oven door can be unlocked and opened.

USING YOUR OVEN

Oven Characteristics

Every oven has its own characteristics. You may find that the cooking times and temperatures you were accustomed to with your previous oven may need to be altered slightly with your new oven. Please expect some differences with the new appliance.

Oven Control for Lower Oven or Double Oven Models

The lower oven of the double wall oven has a mechanical control to operate the oven. The knob is labeled LOWER OVEN TEMP. This knob is used to select the oven temperature. Always turn knob just to the desired temperature, never to a higher temperature and then back. This allows for more precise oven temperatures and is especially important if oven is being set for a critical baking operation.

IMPORTANT (Self-Clean Oven Only): DO NOT MOVE DOOR LOCK LEVER TO THE RIGHT DURING BROILING OR BAKING. The oven door may lock and will not unlock until the oven cools.

Fan

A fan automatically turns on whenever the oven is set for a cooking or self-clean operation. The fan will automatically turn off when the oven has cooled

To operate the lower oven: Turn lower OVEN TEMP knob to desired temperature. After cooking, turn the lower OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and remove the food from the oven.

Indicator Light

The OVEN indicator light turns on whenever the lower oven is turned on for a cooking operation. The light turns on and off as the oven elements cycle on and off.

Oven Racks

Wall ovens are equipped with two lock-stop oven racks. One rack is a "straight" rack while the other is an "off-set" rack. The lower oven has only one oven rack.

When using two racks for baking, place the off-set rack in the bottom rack position. It is recommended that the straight rack be used for broiling.

To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull rack out to the "lock-stop" position. Tilt up and continue pulling until rack releases.

To replace: Place rack on rack supports, tilt up and push toward rear of oven. Pull rack out to "lock-stop" position to be sure rack is correctly replaced.

Rack Positions

Never place pans directly on the oven bottom. Do not cover entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil directly under utensil. To catch spillovers, cut a piece of foil a little larger than the pan and place it on the second rack located below the utensil.

Rack 4 — (top of oven) used for broiling thin foods and for two rack baking.

Rack 3 — used for baking and for broiling thicker cuts of meat.

Rack 2 — used for one- or two-rack baking and for roasting some meats.

Rack 1 — (bottom of oven) for cooking larger foods and for baking angel food cake or pie shells.

Place food in oven on center of rack. Allow 1 or 2 inches between edge of utensil and oven sides or adjacent utensils. If cooking on two racks, stagger foods on racks. Use rack positions 2 and 4 when cooking on two racks.

Preheating

Preheating is necessary for proper baking results. It is not necessary for broiling or roasting. Allow the oven to heat until the desired oven temperature is reached (approximately 10-15 minutes).

Selecting a temperature higher than desired will not preheat the oven any faster. Preheating at a higher temperature may have a negative effect on baking results.

How to Roast

Roasting is the cooking of tender cuts of meat with dry heat. No water is added nor is the cooking utensil covered. Searing is unnecessary. If desired, season meat with salt and pepper.

Check weight of meat and place meat fat-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Place oven rack in one of the two bottom rack positions before oven is turned on. Preheating is unnecessary for roasting meats.

Meats are roasted at 325^ F generally (except tenderloin, 425^ F and smaller poultry at 375^ F to 400^ F).

Cooking time is determined by the weight of the meat and the desired doneness. Use the chart given below as a guide in determining cooking times. For the most accurate results, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer so the tip is in the center of the thickest part of the meat and is not touching bone or fat.

After cooking, remove meat from the oven and let stand 15 to 20 minutes for easier carving. Rare or medium rare meats should be removed from the oven when the internal temperature is 5 to 10^ less than the final desired temperature since meat will continue to cook slightly while standing.

Frozen meat may be cooked in the same way as fresh meat if the meat is thawed first. It is also possible, however, to cook meat from the frozen state. Follow the same roasting instructions but increase cooking time approximately 10 to 25 minutes per pound. When using frozen packaged meat, follow package directions. Frozen poultry should always be thawed before cooking except when package directions recommend cooking from the frozen state such as for frozen turkey rolls. Do not refreeze meats that have not been cooked first.

How to Broil

Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct heat. The cooking time is determined by the distance between the meat and the broil element, the desired degree of doneness and the thickness of the meat.

Broiling Tips:

Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The broiler insert must be in place to allow fat and liquid to drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this prevents fat from draining into pan below. For easier clean up, the broiler pan can be lined with foil and spray the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray.

Remove excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep meat from curling. This also reduces smoking and spattering.

Place oven rack in the correct rack position when oven is cool. For darker browning, place meat closer to the broil element. Place meat further down if you wish meat to be well done or if excessive smoking and flaring occurs.

See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 15 for instructions on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.

To set oven to broil:

1. Press BROIL pad. 000° and BROIL indicator words will appear in the display.
2. Press ▲ pad to select HI for normal broiling or ▼ pad to select Lo for low temperature broiling.
3. For optimum results, remove broiler pan and preheat broil element 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Broil with the oven door opened to the broil stop position (opened about 6 inches). Turn meat once about halfway through cooking. Check for doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the center for desired color.
5. At the end of cooking, press CANCEL to cancel the broil operation. The current time of day will reappear in the display.

Use HI BROIL for most broil operations. Select Lo BROIL when broiling longer cooking foods such as poultry. The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning. Cooking time may increase if Lo BROIL is selected.

Broil times may need to be increased if range is installed on a 208-volt circuit.

Explanation of Fault Codes

Your appliance is equipped with an electronic control featuring built-in, self-diagnostic software. This software continuously monitors the control to insure safe and proper operation. If the software should detect a questionable situation, a FAULT CODE (F plus a number) will appear in the display and continuous beeps may sound.

A fault code indicates that there may be a functional error. As a safety precaution, the control will automatically cancel the program.

During Normal Oven Cooking

If a fault code appears in the display and continuous bccps sound, press the CANCEL pad. Then, reprogram the cooking operation.

If the fault code reappears in the display, call an authorized servicer. Do not use the oven until the control has been serviced. The cooktop can be used.

During a Self-Clean Cycle

If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive smoke and flaring may result in a fault code. If this occurs, press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool for an hour. Then, reprogram the oven for the clean cycle.

If the fault code reappears in the display, call an authorized servicer. Do not use the oven until the control has been serviced. The cooktop can be used.

Adjusting Oven Temperature

Your new appliance has been factory tested for oven temperature accuracy. Even though your range has been tested, you may find that the cooking results with your new oven are different from your previous oven.

If you have carefully followed the recipe, reviewed the baking tips on page 11 and still feel cooking results do not meet your expectations, you can adjust the oven temperature. DO NOT ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE if only one or two items are not baking properly.

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

To adjust the thermostat:

1. Press OVEN TEMP pad.
2. Press ▲ or ▼ pad until 550° is displayed.
3. Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for several seconds until 00° appears in the display.
4. If 00^ does not appear in the display, press the CANCEL pad and begin again.

- If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the temperature was reduced by 15^ , -15^ will be displayed.

1. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to select the temperature change desired.

2. The oven temperature can be increased up to 35^ or reduced by as much as 35^(-35^) in 5^ increments.

3. NOTE: If you delay in selecting a temperature, the program will automatically cancel and 00^ will disappear. Begin again if the program cancels.

4. Press the CANCEL pad and the time of day will reappear in the display. The oven will now bake at the adjusted temperature.

It is not necessary to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power interruption. This adjustment will not affect broil or clean temperatures.
