What are the important safety instructions for using the oven?
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the oven.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
For self-cleaning ovens:
■ Do Not Clean 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.

What are the general guidelines for using the oven?
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
How should I position racks and bakeware?
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
RACKS
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following charts as a guide.

How do I bake or roast?
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed. Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may operate during the Bake mode.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Depending on the model, the convection fan and element may operate during the Bake mode.
1. Touch BAKE. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 145°F and 550°F (63°C and 288°C).
2. Touch START. “Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 100°F (38°C), and “Preheating” will appear in the lower area of the display. When the actual oven temperature reaches 100°F (38°C), the oven display will begin displaying the temperature as it increases. When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.
3. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.
How do I use the broil function?
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the elements will come back on approximately 30 seconds later.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Close the door.
1. Touch BROIL. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 550°F (288°C). The broil range can be set between 450°F and 550°F (232°C and 288°C).
2. Touch START. A long chime will sound. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.
3. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3″ (7 cm) or more from the broil elements, rack position 4 is recommended. A temperature setting of 550°F (288°C) is recommended. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.

*Place up to 12 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid. For beef to have a well seared exterior and rare interior, use rack 6. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 5-6 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
An “f” after the rack position number indicates that the flat rack should be used rather than the roll-out rack.
How do I use Convection Bake?
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, while sealing in moisture. Most foods, using convect baking mode, can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). The cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent when using Convect Roast, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary.
■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick.
To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.

How do I use Convection Broil?
During convection broiling, the broil element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air. The temperature is preset at 550°F (288°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted. If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on again immediately when the door is closed. Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
To Convection Broil:
Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. Close the door.
1. Touch CONVECT BROIL. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 550°F (288°C). The convection broil range can be set between 450°F and 550°F (232°C and 288°C).
2. Touch START. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until oven is turned off.
3. Touch CANCEL when finished cooking.
How do I use the temperature probe?
WARNING: Burn Hazard. Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. The temperature probe should only be used with Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast. Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.
To Use:
Before using, insert the probe into the food item. (For meats, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the meat and not into the fat or touching a bone). Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door.
NOTE: The temperature probe must be inserted into the food item before the mode is selected.
1. Touch the number keys to enter a probe temperature. The probe temperature is the desired internal temperature of the food when it is done. The temperature can be set between 110°F and 200°F (43°C and 93°C).
2. Touch BAKE, CONVECT BAKE or CONVECT ROAST. Touch number keys to enter an oven temperature other than the one displayed. The oven temperature is the temperature given in the recipe.
3. Touch START. The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display throughout cooking. “Lo°” will appear as the probe temperature until the internal temperature of the food reaches 45°F (7°C). Then the display will show the temperature increasing. When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “Cooking Complete” will appear on the oven display. If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.
4. Touch CANCEL, or open the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
5. Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food. The probe symbol will remain lit in the display until the probe is unplugged.
To Change Probe Temperature During a Cooking Cycle:
1. Unplug probe, plug back in, then close lower oven door.
2. Follow steps 1 through 4 in the “To Use” section.
How do I use the Bread Proof function?
Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs otherwise.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2, then place broiler pan on guide 1. Close door.
1. Touch BREAD PROOF. Display will show 100°F (38°C).
2. Touch START. Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, check at 20 to 25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Touch CANCEL when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Follow same placement, and control steps above. Before proofing, remove plastic wrap.
How do I use Timed Cooking?
WARNING: Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Set a Cook Time:
1. Touch BAKE, CONVECT BAKE OR CONVECT ROAST. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. Timed Cooking may also be used with the Bread Proof function, but the temperature is not adjustable.
2. Touch COOK TIME.
3. Touch number keys to enter the length of time to cook.
4. Touch START. The minute time countdown will appear on the oven display. The start time and stop time are not displayed until the oven is finished preheating. When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off automatically, and “cooking complete” will appear on the oven display. If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.
5. Touch CANCEL, or open and close the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
To Set a Cook Time and Stop Time:
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section.
1. Touch BAKE, CONVECT BAKE OR CONVECT ROAST. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. Timed Cooking may also be used with the Bread Proof function but the temperature is not adjustable.

When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The minute time countdown will appear on the oven display. When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off automatically, and “cooking complete” will appear on the oven display. If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.
7. Touch CANCEL, or open and close the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
How do I use the High Temp Self-Cleaning Cycle?
WARNING: Burn Hazard. Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room. Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely.
Prepare Oven:
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■ Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
■ Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½” (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during high temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.
How the Cycle Works
The High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 4 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 4 hours 30 minutes and 5 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
| CLEANING LEVEL | TOTAL CLEANING TIME (includes a 30 minute cool down time) |
|---|---|
| 1 (Quick) | 3 hours 30 minutes |
| 2 (Reg) | 4 hours 30 minutes |
| 3 (Maxi) | 5 hours 30 minutes |
To Start High-Temp Self-Cleaning:
Before high temp self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and 30 minutes. Number keys cannot be used to set a clean time.
2. Touch START. The oven will start locking the door and display “Locking Door.” Opening the door at this point will cancel the self-clean cycle. “Door Locked” will display once the door is locked. Then, the start time and stop time will appear in the oven display. When the cycle is complete and the oven is cool, “self clean complete” will appear on the oven display and “DOOR LOCKED” will disappear. The door will not unlock until the oven is cool.
3. Touch CANCEL, or open and close the oven door to clear the oven display.
To Delay the Start of High Temp Self-Cleaning:
Before starting a delayed High Temp Self-Clean cycle, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and 30 minutes. Number keys cannot be used to set clean time.
2. Touch STOP TIME.
3. Touch the number keys to enter the time of day to stop.
4. Touch START. The start time and stop time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will not lock until the start time is reached. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The oven will start locking the door and will display “Locking Door.” Opening the door at this point will cancel the self-clean cycle. “Door Locked” will display once the door is locked. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “self clean complete” will appear on the oven display and “DOOR LOCKED” will disappear. The door will not unlock until the oven is cool.
5. Touch CANCEL, or open and close the oven door to clear the oven display.
To Stop High Temp Self-Cleaning anytime:
Touch CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
