YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand  
how to set them properly. Read over the directions  
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to  
use them.  
2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.  
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them  
properly, to give sure, sturdy support.  
3. Read over information and tips that follow.  
4. Keep this book handy so you can refer to it,  
especially during the first weeks of using your  
new oven.  
Oven Shelves  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when  
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop  
before coming completely from the oven, and will not  
tilt when removing food from or placing food on  
them.  
II  
To remove the shelf from the oven, pull it forward to  
the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain  
that the shelf is cool before touching it.  
To replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at  
the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf  
under stop-lock on shelf support. Then slide the shelf  
all the way into the oven.  
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out  
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the  
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will  
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.  
Offset Shelf  
To replace the shelf, tilt the shelf  
up at the front and slide the curved  
extension of the shelf under  
locks on shelf supports. Then slide  
the shelf all the way into the oven.  
To remove the shelf, pull it  
forward to the stop-locks and lift  
the front of the shelf.  
The offset shelf provides more  
cooking space between itself  
and the shelf above it. This  
allows more flexibility when  
placing foods in the oven. See the  
Multi-Shelf Baking section.  
The offset shelf can be placed at  
any shelf position.

Shelf Positions  
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this  
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).  
See the Multi-Shelf baking section for shelf  
placement suggestions.  
Oven Light  
The light comes on automatically when the door  
is opened.  
OVEN  
Use the pad on the control panel to turn the light on  
and off when the door is closed.  
Adjusting Oven Thermostat  
When cooking food for the first time in your new  
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven  
thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from  
the factory setting and the differences in timing  
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are  
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the  
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven  
which it replaced.

What is Convection?  
In a convection  
Because food is heated faster 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  
oven when using the convection modes, many types  
of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than  
those suggested for regular ovens. Do remember  
that recipe books often give times and temperatures  
for cooking in regular ovens. Convection ovens make  
it possible to reduce the temperature by  
more information on adapting recipes, see the  
Convection Cookbook.

in less time with  
convection heat.  
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 Bake or you  
may shorten the life of the convection heating element.  
When should you use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?  
To help you understand the difference between  
convection bake and roast and traditional bake and  
roast, here are some general guidelines.  
In convection roast, 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 an all sides as if they were  
cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack  
In convection bake, 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.  
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.  
In regular or traditional baking, the bottom  
heating element heats the air in the oven which then  
cooks the food.  
Convection Roast  
Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.  
Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement  
around food.  
Convection Bake  
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked  
on all 3 shelves.  
Roast  
Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook  
a long time in liquid to become tender.  
Good for large quantities of baked foods.  
Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,  
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel  
food cake and bread.  
Cooking bag  
Foil tent  
Covered dish  
Traditional Bake  
Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top  
crust when not baked with convection heat.  
Cookware for Convection Cooking  
Paper and Plastic  
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.  
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are  
recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in  
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is  
resistant to temperatures of  
can also be used.  
When baking cookies, you will get the best results  
if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with  
low sides.  
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.  
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should  
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well  
around food in a pan with high sides.  
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster  
than shiny pans.  
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown  
on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.  
In most cases, cooking time will be less when using  
the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking  
time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour.  
To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want  
it, we recommend using the temperature probe  
provided with the oven.  
The special roasting rack and pan allow heated air  
to circulate over and under the meat. This allows the  
meat to brown on all sides.

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:  
Oven Shelves

shelf or shelves

Preheating  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat  
means bringing the oven up to the specified  
temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set  
the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a  
higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10  
minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food  
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat  
from escaping.  
Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the  
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the  
oven. Allow 1 to 1 inch space between pans as well  
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If  
you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not  
directly above the other.  
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by  
and use the recommended cooking time in  
the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies  
or casseroles.

(continued)  
Baking Guides  
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions  
for the best baking results.  
Cookies  
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without  
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked  
in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have  
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the  
walls or the door of the oven.  
For best results during regular baking, use only  
one cookie sheet in the oven at a time on shelf at  
either position B or C. Also see the Multi-Shelf  
baking section.  
Cakes  
Pies  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.  
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe  
recommended will usually be crisper, thinner and  
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans,  
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil  
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet  
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away  
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.  
Aluminum Foil  
Never cover a shelf entirely with a large cookie sheet  
or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat  
circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet  
of foil may be used to catch a  
by placing it  
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.  
Don’t Peek  
DO NOT open the door to check until the  
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently  
during cooking allows heat to escape and makes  
baking times longer. Your baking results may also  
be affected.  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do  
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes  
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as  
“bake 30-40 minutes.”

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for  
meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for BAKE or  
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,  
indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is

roasting is finished.  
CLEAR  
OFF  
2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it, fat side up,  
(or for poultry breast-side-up) on a trivet in a  
shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.  
Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as  
possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan  
for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil  
when using the pan for marinating, cooking with  
fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food  
during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials  
inside the oven or inside the oven door.  
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,  
after being removed from the oven. Standing time  
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This  
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to  
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to  
to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,  
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to  
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal

Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a  
meat thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a  
roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at  
the completion of cooking time is recommended  
if you did not use the probe while cooking.  
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.  
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat your oven. Preheat  
only for very small roasts, which cook a short  
length of time.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil unit in

Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid.  
However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just  
like the grid.  
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to  
the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you  
do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. Do I need to grease my  
broiler grid to prevent meat  
from sticking?  
Q. When broiling, is it  
necessary to always use  
a grid in the pan?  
Q. Why are my meats not  
turning out as brown as  
they should?  
A. No. The broiler grid is  
designed to reflect broiler heat,  
thus keeping the surface cool  
enough to prevent meat from  
sticking to the surface.  
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends  
the meat over the pan. As the  
meat cooks, the juices fall into  
the pan, thus keeping meat  
drier. Juices are protected by  
the grid and stay cooler, thus  
preventing excessive spatter  
and smoking.  
A. In some areas, the power  
(voltage) to the range maybe  
low. In these cases, preheat the  
broil unit for 10 minutes before  
placing broiler pan with food in  
oven. Check to see if you are  
using the recommended shelf  
position. Broil for longest  
However, spraying the broiler  
grid lightly with a vegetable  
cooking spray before cooking  
will make cleanup easier.  
period of time indicated in the  
Broiling Guide. Turn food only  
once during broiling.  
Q. Should I salt the meat  
before broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices  
and allows them to evaporate.  
Always salt after cooking. Turn  
meat with tongs; piercing meat  
with a fork also allows juices to  
escape. When broiling poultry  
or fish, brush each side often  
with butter.

with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking  
and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded  
-
lower part of the pan.  
6. The broiler does not need to be preheated.  
However, for very thin foods, or to increase  
browning, preheat if desired.  
2. The oven door should be open to the broil stop  
position.  
3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the  
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise  
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the  
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent  
piercing the meat and losing juices.  
7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the  
oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and

1% times per side.

in the top of the door. To  
prevent water  
from getting in these slots when cleaning, open  
the door as far as it will go.  
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware  
and any aluminum foil from the oven— they cannot  
withstand the high cleaning temperatures. (Oven  
shelves may be left in oven. NOTE: Shelves will  
discolor after the self-clean cycle.)  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket  
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an  
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact  
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for  
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking  
results. 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.  
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you  
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to  
prevent staining.  
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D)  
is off. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in  
place. Door latches automatically after the Clean  
cycle is set.

D. Oven Light  
Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning  
oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and  
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with  
cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves  
slide more easily.  
E. Oven Vent Grille  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven  
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A  
combination of any of these products plus the high  
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain  
finish of the oven.  
3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),  
under the front edge of the oven vent, the door liner  
outside the door gasket and the front edge of the  
oven cavity (about one inch into the oven). Use  
detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel  
wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water  
mixture. This will help prevent a brown residue  
from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these  
areas with a dry cloth.  
Important  
The oven door must be closed and  
controls must  
be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient  
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your  
oven to assure safe and proper maintenance.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.  
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the  
grease in the pan into a proper container. Wash, scour  
if necessary with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad,  
in hot, soapy water. Rinse the pan and grid in hot water,  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid while hot,  
with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a  
dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose  
while the meal is being served.  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid in the oven.  
Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.  
The broiler pan and grid may also be cleaned in  
a dishwasher.  
Oven Lamp Replacement  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven lamp bulb,  
disconnect the electrical power for your oven at  
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the  
plug. Be sure to let the lamp cover and bulb cool  
completely before removing or replacing them. When  
in use, light bulbs can become warm enough to break  
if touched with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning,  
avoid touching warm lamps with cleaning cloths if the  
lamp cover is removed.  
I
The oven lamp (bulb) is covered with a glass  
removable cover which is held in place with a wire.  
Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach the  
cover easily.  
To remove:  
Hold your hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall  
when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly  
push back the wire until it clears the cover. Lift off  
the cover.  
DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.  
Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.  
To replace cover:  
Place it into the groove of the lamp receptacle. Pull  
the wire forward to the center of cover until it snaps in  
place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly.  
Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of  
the cover.  
Connect electrical power to the oven.
