Settings and Functions

HI BROIL
Heat radiates from both
broil elements, located in
the top of the oven cavity,
at full power. The distance
between the foods
and the broil elements
determines broiling
speed. For fast broiling,
food may be as close as 2" (5 cm) to the broil
element or on the top rack. Fast broiling is best for
meats where rare to medium doneness is desired.
Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts
of meat.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil
elements pulse on and off
to produce less heat for
slow broiling. Allow about
4" (10 cm) between the
top surface of the food
and the broil element.
Slow broiling is best for
chicken and ham in order to broil food without over-
browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and
average cuts of meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses only a
fraction of the available
power to the inner broil
element for delicate top-
browning. The inner broil
element is on for only
part of the time. Use this
setting to gently brown
meringue on racks 3 or 4
in 3-4 minutes.
SELF-CLEAN
This oven features an
automatic pyrolytic
self-cleaning cycle.
During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated
temperatures in order to
burn off soil and deposits.

with the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in
the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-
clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated
after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch
ensures that the door cannot be opened while the
oven interior is at clean temperatures.

NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can
produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with
aluminum foil or other materials. These items
can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven
after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some
parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning
feature is used, there may be some odor and
smoking from the "curing" of the binder in the
high-density insulation used in the oven. When
the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will
disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of
high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
