an oven.  
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 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.  
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 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.  
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 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.  
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. 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.

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  
shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on some  
models) and all other cookware.  
I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

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 7 shelf positions.

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 112between 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.

Using the probe.  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The  
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.  
NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the  
Cable

Use of probes other than the one  
provided with this product may result in  
damage to the probe.

Handles  
Use the handles of the probe and plug  
when inserting and removing them from  
the meat and outlet.  
I To prevent possible burns, do not unplug  
the probe from the outlet until the oven  
has cooled.  
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 a broiler pan grid designed  
for broiling, follow these directions for  
proper probe placement.  
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe  
into the meatiest part of the roast. For  
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe  
into the center of the lowest large muscle

oven.  
IIdeal for evenly browned baked foods cooked  
on multiple shelves.  
IGood for large quantities of baked foods.  
IGood results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,  
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls,  
angel food cake and bread.  
The convection fan circulates the heated  
air evenly over 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.  
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 cooked and browned—often in less  
time with convection heat.  
Multi-Shelf Convection Baking  
When baking on 3 shelves, place one  
shelf in the second (B) position, one  
in the fourth (D) position and one in  
the 6th (F) position.  
When convection baking with only 1 shelf,  
follow the shelf positions recommended in  
the Using the oven section.  
Because heated air is circulated evenly  
throughout the oven, foods can be  
baked with excellent results using  
multiple shelves.  
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook  
times slightly for some foods but the  
overall result is time saved. Cookies,  
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads  
give very good results with multi-shelf  
baking.

Using the convection oven.  
Convection Roast  
IGood for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.  
When you are convection roasting, it is  
important that you use a broiler pan and  
grid designed for broiling for best  
convection roasting results. The pan is  
used to catch grease spills and the grid is  
used to prevent grease spatters.  
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. 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 baking cookies, you will  
get the best results if you use a  
flat cookie sheet instead of a  
pan with low sides.  
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  
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.

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.
