or near your oven.
I Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
I
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above an oven; children climbing on the
oven to reach items could be seriously
injured.
I Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
I Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the oven. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with
hot surfaces or heating elements and may
cause severe burns.
I Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
I Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
I Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
I For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
I When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
I Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the oven.
I Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
I Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
I Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
I Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
I Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
I Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
I After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire
next time you use the pan.
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
I Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent
openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
I REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
I Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
I Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective
I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified

coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven. Residue from
oven cleaners will damage the inside of the
oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, they will
stop before coming completely out, and
will not tilt.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the
rack support.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need
to use two racks, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug
the probe from the outlet until the oven

I To avoid damaging your probe, do not use
tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.
I Never leave your probe inside the oven during
a self-cleaning cycle.
I To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is
completely defrosted before inserting.
I Do not store the probe in the oven.
After preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid,
follow these directions for proper probe
placement.
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe

Using the convection oven.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on
and off while cooking to best distribute
hot air in the oven.
Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
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 cooking or you
may shorten the life of the convection
heating element.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and
lasagna with good results.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and for best
results place the rack on shelf C or D at the
center of the oven. Cook times may decrease,
so food should be checked earlier than package
directions to make sure that it does not overcook.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
27” Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, divide the oven
into thirds by placing the offset rack in
the third (C) rack position and the
straight racks in first (A) and fourth (D)
rack positions.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
For two-rack baking, place the offset rack
in the bottom (A) rack position. Place
the straight rack in the third (C) rack
position.
Multi-rack position 27 ″ oven.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset rack
(on 27″ models) in the lowest position (A), you
will need to use caution when pulling the rack
out. We recommend that you pull the rack out
several inches and then, using two pot holders,
pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The
offset rack is low and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull
all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your
hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest
position (A).
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
30” Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, place one
rack in the second (B) position, one
in the fourth (D) position and one in
the 6th (F) position.

IGood for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
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.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters, while
the rack allows the heated air to circulate
under the meat and increase browning
on the underside of the meat or poultry.
I Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them,
making sure the posts on the roasting
rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.

Cookware for Convection Cooking
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.
Metal and Glass
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
IDarkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Paper and Plastic
IGlass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high-moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

off during the self-cleaning cycle of
any oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.

Cleaning the Oven Door
on the outside of the door. Do not let
water drip into the vent openings.
ꢀ If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
ꢀ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped
up immediately. When surface is cool,
clean and rinse.
To clean the inside of the door:
ꢀ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand.
ꢀ The area outside the gasket and
the door liner can be cleaned with a
soap-filled or plastic scouring pad,
hot water and detergent. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
it has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion.
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.
To clean the outside of the door:
ꢀ Use soap and water to thoroughly
clean the top, sides and front of the
oven door. Rinse well. You may also
use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
ꢀ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.

Clean the oven racks (including the

clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven racks and convection roasting
rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
However, the racks will darken in color, lose their
luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during
the self-cleaning cycle. You can wipe the rack
supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to
make the racks slide more easily.

Broiler Pan & Grid
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid
with detergent while hot and cover with
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking
the pan will remove burned-on foods.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a
self-cleaning oven.
After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven. Remove the grid from the
pan. Carefully pour out the grease from
the pan into a proper container.
After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid
in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic
scouring pad.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid
anywhere in the oven.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control
panel after each use. Clean with mild
soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
