a cabinet that is firmly attached to the  
house structure. Never allow anyone  
to climb, sit, stand or hang on the  
oven door.  
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 Never leave the oven door open when  
you are not watching the oven.  
I Always keep combustible wall coverings,  
curtains or drapes a safe distance from  
your oven.

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 Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance  
from your oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
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.  
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.  
When using cooking or roasting bags in  
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s  
directions.  
Pulling out the shelf 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.  
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.  
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.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not  
in use.  
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
After broiling, always take any broiler pan  
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover  
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire  
next time you use the pan.  
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.  
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in  
Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
or near your oven.  
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.  
Do not use aluminum foil to line  
oven bottoms. Improper installation  
of aluminum foil may result in a risk  
of electric shock or fire.  
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder  
contact the heating elements.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Using the oven.  
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves 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 shelf, pull it toward you, tilt  
the front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the shelf in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the  
shelf support.  
The oven has 4 shelf positions.

the fan may continue to run even after the oven is  
turned off.  
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 shelves, stagger the pans  
so one is not directly above the other,  
and leave approximately 1 ⁄2between  
pans, from the front, back and sides of  
the wall.  
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or  
tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to  
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower  
shelf several inches below the food.  
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom  
of the oven.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with  
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat  
circulation and result in poor baking.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily–such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork–should not be allowed to sit for  
more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that  
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

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 the broiling temperature.  
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.  
To Adjust the Thermostat  
When you have made the  
adjustment, press the START  
pad to go back to the time of day  
display. Use your oven as you  
would normally.  
Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO  
pads at the same time for 3 seconds  
until the display shows SF.  
Press the BAKE pad. A two-digit  
number shows in the display.  
The oven temperature can be  
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or  
(-) 35°F cooler. Tap the TEMP +  
pad to increase the temperature  
in 1-degree increments. Tap the  
TEMP – pad to decrease the  
temperature in 1-degree increments.  
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 affects 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.

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective remove the adhesive from packaging  
shipping film with your fingers and slowly tape on new appliances is an application  
peel it from the appliance surface. Do  
not use any sharp items to remove the  
film. Remove all of the film before using  
the appliance for the first time.  
To assure no damage is done to the

of a household liquid dishwashing  
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and  
allow to soak.  
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all  
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive  
cleanser or steel wool.  
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with  
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.  
Porcelain Oven Interior  
With proper care, the porcelain enamel  
finish on the inside of the oven—top,  
bottom, sides, back and inside of the  
door—will stay new-looking for years.  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
Follow the package directions.  
Do not allow food spills with a  
high sugar or acid content (such as  
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices  
or pie filling) to remain on the  
surface. They may cause a dull  
spot even after cleaning.  
IDo not spray oven cleaner on the electrical  
controls and switches because it could cause a  
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.  
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We  
recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the oven.  
IDo not allow a film from the cleaner to build up  
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the  
oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located  
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the  
sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being  
careful not to move the sensor as a change in  
its position could affect how the oven bakes.  
Soap and water will normally do the  
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may  
require cleaning with a mild abrasive  
cleaner. Soap-filled steel wool pads  
may also be used.  
Household ammonia may make the  
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a  
shallow glass or pottery container in a  
cold oven overnight. The ammonia  
fumes will help loosen the burned-on  
grease and food.  
IDo not spray any oven cleaner on the oven  
door, handles or any exterior surface of the  
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner  
can damage these surfaces.  
Oven Heating Elements  
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the  
bake element. Clean with warm soapy  
water.  
Do not clean the bake element or the broil  
element. Any soil will burn off when the elements  
are heated.
