Oven Rack Descriptions
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
•
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used
for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven
rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven
racks
•
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step
down positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about half of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches
the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly
and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are
level before using.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches
(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure
pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even
heat to reach the food.

Setting Conv Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
•
•
•
Foods may cook up to 25% faster, saving time and energy.
Multiple rack baking.
No special pans or bakeware needed.
The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 12). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices
and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Because
most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the
convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s recom-
mended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the
remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recom-
mended cook time.
Figure 12: Air circulation in the convection function

Setting Slow Cook
Warm & Hold™
The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal
for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may
result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn
the outside as it seals in the meat’s juices.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness
Warm & Hold should only be used with foods that are already
at serving temperatures. Warm & Hold will keep cooked foods

5. If Cook Time or Delay Start are not needed, skip this step
and continue to step 6. If a Cook Time or Delay Start are
desired enter the times at this point. Refer to the “Setting
Cook Time” and “Setting Delay Start” on page 12 for
detailed instructions.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed
for the oven, and the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if
needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode
will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior
to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of
Cook Time.
6. Press and hold Cook Time and Delay Start simultaneously
for about 3 seconds to set the Sabbath feature. Once the
feature is set, SAb (Figure 16) will appear in the display
indicating the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour
Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features
are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no
audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the can-
cellation.

Self Clean
•
Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on
the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water
and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures. 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.
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-
inates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2
hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for
normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for
heavy cleaning.
•
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 18). 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. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
Read before starting Self Clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to
the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the
oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds
to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot
and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
Important note:
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from
oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks
are not removed they may discolor.
Figure 18: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket).
To set self clean:

no longer displayed, the door Opn message will appear.
When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
•
•
If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean
cycle.
Important note:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window,
ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self
clean cycle.
If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean
was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self
Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for
the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean
function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.
