OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
Using Your Oven
Step 1. Select oven function
Step 2. Set the temperature
Step 3. Press Start
Step 4. Place food inside the oven once the set temperature is reached.
Close the oven door. Step 5. (Optional) Enter time to cook
Step 6. The Cancel button can be used to cancel the function during or
after cook time. NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions,
see the online Control Guide.
Using Your Range
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo or Melt. Push in
and turn to set.
REMEMBER: When the range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
POSITIONING RACKS AND BAKEWARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Racks
- Position racks before turning on the oven.
- Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
- Make sure the racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration as a guide.
BAKING COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat
rack in rack position 4, and a flat rack in rack position 2. Place the cakes
on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3″ (7.6 cm) of space between the front of
the racks and the front cakes.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convect Bake
function (on some models) and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.
ALUMINUM FOIL
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not
line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover the entire oven rack with foil because
air must be able to move freely.
Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting
heating elements.
OVEN VENT
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be
blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics,
paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
OVEN LIGHT
The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven
and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.
To Replace:
- Disconnect power.
- Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove it.
- Remove the bulb from the socket.
- Replace the bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle the bulb. To avoid damage to or decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace the bulb cover by turning clockwise.
- Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
SABBATH MODE:
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled.
