IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
■ Before performing any service, disconnect the oven power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door. They could damage the oven, or cause severe personal injury.
■ Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
■ Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.
■ Always keep combustible wall covering, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your oven.
■ Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the oven.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

⚠ WARNING! SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not store flammable materials in an oven.
  ■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
  ■ 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 surfaces or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
  ■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
  ■ For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
  ■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
  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. These 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 oven vent openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the window and metal trim parts above the door.

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

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.
- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■ Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. 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 unobstructed.
- Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
- When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
- Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
■ After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.
- Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Diagram of a multi-tiered storage unit with labeled components A through G, showing internal structure and flow direction.

30" ovens (shown) have 7 shelf positions.

27" ovens have 4 shelf positions.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

1 Press the BAKE pad.
2 Press the number pads to set the desired temperature.
3 Press the START pad.
4 Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
5 Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1½" between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

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

Using the probe.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food 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.

Illustration of a sandwich with chopsticks and a curved line above it (no text or symbols)

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

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

Plug Cable Handles Probe

To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

Three separate illustrations of food items: a rectangular plate with a lid, a flat plate with a chicken, and a closed tray with a chicken (no text or symbols)

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
2 Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

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 you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Diagram of a mechanical or fluid system with directional arrows and a central circular component (no text or symbols)

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat. (appearance may vary)

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■ Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.
■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on a shelf (on 27" models use the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Roasting rack Post Grid Broiler pan Offset shelf (27" models only)

Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

• Place the shelf (on 27" models use the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).
• Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the roasting rack over them making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf (on 27" models) 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. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).

Adapting Recipes...

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25^ F.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■ Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Using the convection oven.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

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

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you 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, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Multi-shelf position 27" oven

Multi-Shelf Baking

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

30" Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the bottom (A) position, one on the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

27" Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the third (C) shelf position and the straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D) shelf positions.

For two-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 (on 27" models) 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. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).

Using the timed features for convection baking.

On double oven models, you can use timed baking in one oven while using self-clean in the other; you can also use timed baking in both ovens at the same time.

You will hear a fan while cooking with this feature. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

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.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. (appearance may vary)

Before a Clean Cycle

The oven must be cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves and convection roasting rack can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some models) is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

On double oven models, you can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven's clean cycle.

- On double oven models, you can use timed baking in one oven and self-clean the other at the same time.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

1 Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
2 Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time.
3 Press the DELAY START pad.
4 Using the number pads, enter the time of day you want the clean cycle to start.
5 Press the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the start time. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, open the door.

NOTE: On double oven models, you can set a delay clean in both ovens at the same time. The second oven set will automatically delay the start of cleaning until the end of the first oven's clean cycle.

To recall the start time of the second oven set, press the DELAY START pad on the controls for the second 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 soap-filled 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.

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

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
  ■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the SELF CLEAN pad.
  If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

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

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door, open it to the broil stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the broil stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

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

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

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.

24

To clean the 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.
■ The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass

on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
■ 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, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Removable Oven Floor

To remove the oven floor:

1 Remove the oven door using the instructions in the Lift-Off Oven Door section of this manual.
2 Press down and pull out the removable oven floor.
3 Clean the oven floor with warm soapy water.

4 When re-installing the oven floor be sure to slide it all the way to the back of the oven.

IMPORTANT: Always replace the removable floor before the next use.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Broiler Pan & Grid

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the 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.

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.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the oven.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, 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.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Probe

The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

• Do not immerse the temperature probe in water.
• Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.

Roasting rack Oven shelf Offset shelf (27" models only)

Oven Shelves and Convection Roasting Rack

Clean the oven shelves (including the offset shelf) and the convection roasting rack with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves and rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves and convection roasting rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

Receptacle Socket Bulb Tab Glass cover

Oven Light Bulbs (on some models)

NOTE: The glass cover (on some models) should be removed only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with bare hands or a damp cloth.

To remove:

1 Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket.
2 Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

1 Use a new 130-volt Halogen bulb, not to exceed 50 watts.
2 Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.

Receptacle Use gloves or cloth

3 Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.
4 Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

5 Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik ^® , Simple Green ^® , or Formula 409 ^® .

For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless-steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami ^® or Cameo ^® .

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless-steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic; Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner, or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless-steel surface.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

To clean the oven floor, take out the removable floor and gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Always replace the removable floor before next use.

NOTE: Failure to replace the removable floor will adversely affect the cooking performance.
