IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

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.

WARNING

This product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to effects or other reproductive harm.

Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 installer 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 transferred to a qualified technician.
  ■ Before performing any service, disconnect the 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 climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
  ■ A CAUTION : Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
  ■ 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 in place of pot holders.
  ■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.
  ■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
  ■ Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
  ■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.
  ■ 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

■ Do not store or use flammable materials in or near an oven, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

- Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns. - Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease in the oven or near the oven may ignite.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ 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.
- Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
- Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.
■ Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
- When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

■ Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks or the extension rack to its fully open position 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 leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

WARNING

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

■ Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove shiny silver colored oven racks (on some models), the probe, any aluminum foil, and any broiler pan, grid, and other cookware. Only porcelain coated oven racks may be left in the oven.
■ Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive

amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.

If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
- 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.

To turn the oven off, press Cancel/Off at any time. The oven will immediately turn off and ][ will change to ] indicating that the oven has turned off.

Note that each oven of a double wall oven must be turned off separately.

To exit Sabbath mode, make sure that the oven is turned off. Press and hold the Bake and Broil pads for 3 seconds to enter special features then press Delay Time until either "12 Shdn" or "no Shdn" is in the display and press Start.

NOTE: If power outage occurs during Sabbath mode the unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is restored.

If you wish to use the Cook Time feature (if available) to bake in the oven and then have the oven automatically turn off, you will need to press the Cook Time button, enter a cooking time duration, and press Start. Then enter special features to start Sabbath mode as detailed above.

Oven Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow.

Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

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

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

A CAUTION: Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25°F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes

Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.

Traditional Bake

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

Convection Bake 1 Rack

The Convection Bake 1 Rack mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the lower element and also the upper and rear elements, along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. To use this mode press the Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) once, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

Convection Bake Multi Rack

The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat primarily from the rear element but also heat from the upper and lower elements, along with air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) pad twice, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air movement from the convection fan to improve browning and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using this mode or use a meat probe. To use this mode press the Convection Roast pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Proof

Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. Press the Proof pad and then press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for double wall ovens, proof can not be run when running a clean mode in the lower oven.

Cleaning The Oven

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of 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 cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual.

Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Steam Clean Mode

Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.

To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door. Press the Clean pad twice and then press Start. The oven door will lock. You can not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil.

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Press the Clean pad once and a default self-clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after pressing the Clean pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

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

Flat Racks

Flat racks can be left in the cavity during self-clean (if enameled racks, not shiny) or can be washed with warm, soapy water.

Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Oven Light Replacement

WARNING

SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.

CAUTION

BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

1. Disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
2. Remove oven racks.
3. Slide a flat blade screwdriver between the housing and the glass light cover.
4. Support the glass light cover with two fingers to prevent the cover from falling to the bottom of the oven.
5. Gently twist the screwdriver blade to loosen the glass light cover. Be careful not to chip the oven coating.
6. Remove the glass light cover.

7. Remove the bulb by firmly grasping and sliding the bulb straight out until the two prongs have cleared the ceramic holder.

8. Do not touch the glass of the new replacement bulb with your fingers. It will cause the bulb to fail when it lights. Grasp the replacement bulb with a clean towel or facial tissue with the prongs facing down. Align the two prongs in the ceramic holder, pressing gently until the bulb is securely in the ceramic socket.

9. Slide the protective lens into the holder and push until the clips snap into the housing.
10. Reconnect power.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the door.
2. Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame, to the unlocked position. A tool, such as a small flat-blade screwdriver, may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
4. Close door to the door removal position. The door should be open approximately 3" with no obstruction above the door.
5. Lift door up and out until both hinge arms are clear of the slots.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. Starting on the left side, with the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot. Repeat for right side.
3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.
4. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity, to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause	Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings?	Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.	For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.NOTE: This adjustment affects Bake, Convection Bake 1 Rack and Convection Bake Multi temperatures; it will not affect Convection Roast, Broil or Clean.
Food does not bake properly	Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
	Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level.	See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.
	Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used.	See the Cookware section.
	Oven temperature needs adjustment.	See the Special Features section.
	Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe outcome.
Food does not broil properly	Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode.
	Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions.
	Food being cooked in a hot pan. Make sure cookware is cool.
	Cookware not suited for broiling. Use a pan specifically designed for broiling.
	Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and grid has not been fitted properly and slit as recommended.	If using aluminum foil conform to pan slits.
	In some areas the power (voltage) may be low.	Preheat the broil element for 10 minutes.
Oven temperature too hot or too cold	Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section.
Oven does not work or appears not to work	A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
	Oven controls improperly set. See the Using the Oven section.
	Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode.See the Special Features section.
“Crackling” or “popping” sound	This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.	This is normal.
Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven?	Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking, broiling, convection, and self-clean cycles.	This is normal.
Clock and timer do not work	A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

Problem Possible	Cause What To Do
Oven light does not work	Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.
	Pad operating light is broken. Call for service.
Oven will not self-clean	The temperature is too high to set a self-clean operation.	Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
	Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Power outage, clock flashes	Power outage or surge Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting any cooking function.
“Burning” or “oily” odor emitting from the vent	This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time.	To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Strong odor An odor	from the insulation around the inside of the oven is normal for the first few times the oven is used.	This is temporary and will go away after several uses or a self-clean cycle.
Fan noise	A cooling fan may automatically turn on.	This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after the oven is turned off.
My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color. Is this defective?	No. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking.	This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature	Cookware or food in oven The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
	Number of racks in oven Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
	Different cooking modes The different cooking modes use different preheat methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake multi).
