Page 5: About This Manual
How This Manual is Organized You can get the most out of your new oven by reading this manual from beginning to end. This way you will systematically get to know your appliance and become familiar with its operation and features. -
Page 6: Safety
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, es- pecially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. -
Page 7: Important Safety Instructions
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. - Page 8 1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas. 2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven. 3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual. When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean.

Page 9: Getting Started
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is run- ning, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off. -
Page 10: Accessories
The convection fan may also run during self-clean. The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills. -
Page 11: Inserting Rack
To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat- ing elements. - Page 12 Telescopic Rack Inserting telescopic rack into oven: 1. Hold the rack on a slight angle. 2. Engage the rear hooks in the acces- sory brackets. 3. Hold the rack straight. 4. Push the rack in until it is even with the front hooks.

Page 28: Getting The Most Out Of Your Appliance
High Altitude Baking Condensation Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. -
Page 29: Bake
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1-1 pans or dishes and oven walls. • Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door. •... -
Page 30: Convection Bake
Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper á and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items. -
Page 31: True Convection
True Convection Chart True Convection cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. True Convection is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. -
Page 32: Roast
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags. • Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for roasting. A shallow, un- covered pan can also be used. • Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat. -
Page 33: Broil
Fast and efficient cooking. • Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids. • Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. • Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick. • Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking. - Page 34 Broil Chart • Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering. • Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see Broil Chart for exam- ples).
