IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. SAFETY INFORMATION ■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. ■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. ■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician. ■ Before performing any service, disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. ■ Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance. ■ CAUTION : Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured. ■ 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 in place of pot holders. ■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. ■ 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door. ■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard. ■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur. ■ 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. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death. STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING WARNING WARNING The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Note: If power outage occurs during Sabbath mode the unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is restored.

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack

positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time. When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow. Flat Racks When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in. USING THE OVEN: Oven Racks Oven Racks and Rack Positions CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, aluminum foil or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

USING THE OVEN: Cooking Modes / Cookware

Cooking Modes Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing. Bake The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided center food in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Broiling Modes Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended. Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo. For best performance center food below the broil heating element. Broil Hi The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/ or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. Broil Lo The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode. Cookware Cookware Guidelines The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance. Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time. Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies. Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards. Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning. Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

Cleaning The Oven

CARE AND CLEANING Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven. Control Panel Flat Racks 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. Flat racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. Racks may be more difficult to slide with time or after cleaning. If racks do become more difficult to slide, put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges. Oven Exterior Oven Interior Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight. If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse. The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean mode. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse. Manual Cleaning Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature. Steam Clean Mode Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a low cleaning temperature. To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door. Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start. Do not open the door during the steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil. Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of this manual.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings? Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. Food does not bake properly Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section. Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide. Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used. See the Cookware section. Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section. Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe outcome. Food does not broil properly Oven controls improperly set. Make sure you select the appropriate broil mode. Improper rack position being used. See Cooking Guide for rack location suggestions. Food being cooked in a hot pan. Make sure cookware is cool. Cookware not suited for broiling. Use a pan specifically designed for broiling. Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and grid has not been fitted properly and slit as recommended. If using aluminum foil conform to pan slits. In some areas the power (voltage) may be low. Preheat the broil element for 10 minutes. Oven temperature too hot or too cold Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section. Oven does not work or appears not to work A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Oven controls improperly set. See the Using the Oven section. Oven is in Sabbath Mode. Verify, that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Special Features section. “Crackling” or “popping” sound This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions. This is normal. Why is my range making a "clicking" noise when using my oven? Your range has been designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven's temperature. You may hear your oven's heating elements "click" on and off more frequently than in older ovens to achieve better results during baking and broiling cycles. This is normal. Clock and timer do not work A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Sometimes the oven takes longer to preheat to the same temperature Cookware or food in oven The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time. Number of racks in oven Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take longer to preheat. Remove some racks. Troubleshooting tips ...
