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 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 em;t 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.

OVEN COOKING
When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and is apt to be more accurate than the oven It replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, if you feel your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS in this manual.
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement.
Place longest side of pan parallel to longest side of oven.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to 1 1/2" of
air space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom block the free movement of alr.
Im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and cooking.
Be sure the underside of the pan Is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several items stagger pans so that no pan Is directly above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked products.
Allow 10 minutes preheat time.
Listen for preheat notification tone (or if equipped with a preheat indicator light, watch for the light to go off) and promptly put the food in the oven.
Opening the door too often to check food during baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor baking results.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked in shiny pans -to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked In
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat
-- because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees below recommended temperatures if exterior of pan is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof glass.
There may be some odor when the oven Is fl;'stused.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly above the bake element.
Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, it
should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate property.
We recommend 10" x 14" cookie sheets for best results.
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is allowed
to remain open for more than a brief time, the preheat temperature will be lost.
8 NEOVC19
TO BROIL IN LOWER OVEN
Most foods can be broiled st the HI Broil Setting. Select
the LO Broil setting
to avoid excessive browning or drylng of foods that should be cooked to the well-done
stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).
POSITIONING BROILER PAN
OVEN TEMP
OVEN SET
1. Open lower oven door to the BROIL STOP position.
(See removable lower oven door section.)
2. Push in and turn both the OVEN SET and the OVEN
TEMP knobs to BROIL.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF.
BROILING TIPS
Your oven door should be open to the broil stop position while broiling.
If the door is closed, the food will roast and not broil.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your range for broiling.
They are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling.
For even broiling on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before turning the meat.
Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil.
When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It Is not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting out a grease fire. See the section on safety.
Do not cover
the entire broiler grid with foil.
Poor drainage of hot fat may cause a broiler fire.
if a fire starts, close the oven door and turn controls off.
If fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire.
Do not put water on the fire.
Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-
lected for brelllng.
For best results steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack In the proper position.
The recommended
rack position and cooking time can be found In the chart below.
The closer the food Is to t be broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the
center. Moving the meat farther away from the element lets the meat cook to t he center while browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than side two.

THE SELF-CLEAN
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
CYCLE (Upper Oven Only)
NOTE=
1. Remove the broll pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils
and any foil that may be In the oven.
Do not try to clean utensils or any other objects In the oven during a self-clean cycle.
If oven racks are left in the range during a clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
If
you choose to leave the racks In the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and apply a small amount of vegetable oll to the rack
edges after the self-clean
cycle. This will make the racks easier to slide.
2. Soll on the oven front frame and the door liner outside
the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1" into the oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see Illustrstlon below).
Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle. Do not let water
run down through openings
in the top of the door.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steal wool pad, then rinse well.
No matter how stubborn
the stain, never use harsh abrasive cleaners. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recommend a cleanser such as 'Soft Scrub®" brand or a similar cleaning product
to keep white surfaces looking clean and new. After
cleaning, rinse well. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven Is heated. Buff these areas dry with a dry cloth.
FRONT FRAME
The door gasket Is designed with a 5" to 6" gap at the
bottom for proper air clrculetlon.

Doo.u.. "
AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash In the oven. Just wipe It up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steal wool pad.
Be sure to 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, the cycle
may be repeated.

"DO.IT.YOURSELF"
OVEN TEMPERATURE
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the oven it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with It, following the times given in your mclpee as a guide.
Your oven has been preset to maximize cooking efficiency.
If you think your new oven Is too hot
(burning foods), or not hot enough (foods are undercooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture of foods Is a better indicator of oven accuracy than an inexpensive oven thermometer.
We do not recommend
the use of inexpensive thermometers_ such as those found in the grocery store, to readjust the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F.
Also, you must open the oven door to read the thermometer and this changes the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25°F higher (if foods are undercooked) or 25°F lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature In your recipe, then bake.
The results of
this "test"
should give you an Idea of how much the temperature should be changed.
To adjust temperature follow these instructions: t.
