Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the oven. Never allow children to play with packaging material. • Proper installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. In Canada, install in accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical code, Part 1, and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this oven. • User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the oven. • Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the oven at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency. • Never modify or alter the construction of an oven by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the oven. • Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded. • Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible, and easily located near the appliance. • Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. • Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven. • Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite. • 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. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all bakeware and utensils before moving the rack. • Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite. • Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any other materials to line oven racks, walls, or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. • Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper bakeware and always use the oven racks. Save these instructions for future reference. 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause burns. Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, or death. • Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. • Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury. It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with all local codes and ordinances. • Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

OVEN CONTROLS FUNCTIONS Self Clean A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash that can be wiped away with a damp cloth. IMPORTANT Adhere to the following self clean precautions • Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If the oven racks are not removed they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily. • Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt. • Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. • Do not spray oven cleaners or protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. • Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. These areas are shown in white (See Figure 6). • • • Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning. Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Figure 6). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. Remove any excessive spills. Spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting self clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. CAUTION During self clean, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. 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. Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete. The oven may still be very hot. Figure 6: Areas to clean or avoid on door frame CAUTION The oven bake and broil elements may still be hot after they appear to have cooled. Burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently. For models with a visible lower bake element only - This bake element was designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element for cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before raising the element. Do not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position. 15 OVEN CONTROLS FUNCTIONS Setting a Self Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self Clean Cycle.

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later. Surface Type Recommendation Aluminum and Vinyl trim Painted body parts Painted decorative trims Plastic Use hot, soapy water and dry with a clean cloth. Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish. Control Pad Control key membrane Decorative trim (some models) Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish. Stainless steel (some models) Only use cleaners and polishes specifically manufactured for cleaning stainless steel. Always rub in the direction of the metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-free cloth. Be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish from the metal surface as bluish stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Use clean water to rinse; use a cloth to dry Smudge-Proof™ Stainless Steel (some models) Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. Use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Porcelain enamel broiler pan and insert (available by mail order) Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. Door liner and body parts Oven racks Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self clean models, the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket. 17 CARE AND CLEANING General Cleaning Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the range. Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners WARNING Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with aluminum foil or any other materials. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns. Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation. CAUTION • Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil or any other materials to line walls, or the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. • Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. • Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven. Boiler Pan Cleaning Tips: • To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. • Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid. Adhere to the following precautions when using spray oven cleaners: Figure 7: 18 • Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches. Doing so could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire. • Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces. Boiler pan with insert CARE AND CLEANING Removing and Replacing the Oven Door Oven door hinge locations CAUTION The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. To remove the oven door: 1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor (See Figure 8). 2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the oven frame completely toward the oven door (See Figure 9). A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver may be required.

Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time. roller pin hinge arm Figure 11: Replacement and location of hinge arm and roller pin 19 CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning Exposed Bake Ovens WARNING The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently. Replacing the Oven Light The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity and are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (See Figure 13). To replace the oven interior light bulb: CAUTION Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing oven light. 1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance. 2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise. 3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb. Figure 12: Exposed bake oven cavity The bake element is located in the bottom of the oven cavity (See Figure 12). Remove the bottom oven rack before raising the element. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. NOTE Do not allow your fingers to touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb when installing. 4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise. 5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in). 6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock Figure 13: Wall oven Halogen light 20 BEFORE YOU CALL Solutions to Common Baking Problems For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
