OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ 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.
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■ 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 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 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.
■ 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.

Meat Thermometer
OVEN USE
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Baking and Roasting
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System
■
■
■
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in two or three places.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP (▲) or (▼) to set a temperature other than 350°F
(175°C) in 5° amounts. The bake range can be set between
170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).
1. Upper oven
2. Oven vent
3. Lower oven
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again.
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will
cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.
Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn
near the oven vent.
3.
Press OFF when finished.
Preheating
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the
display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will
sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.

BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Broil
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. 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.

How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
OVEN CARE
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Self-Cleaning Cycle
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
(on some models)
WARNING
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
Burn Hazard
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
2. Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
clean time other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can
be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven door will automatically lock. “LOCKED” will appear
on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in burns.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the oven display and “LOCKED” will disappear.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well ventilated room.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the
door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not
begin.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent(s)” section.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HR “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a clean time
other than 3 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can be set
