Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food.
It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven. Convection saves
time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once. Reduce
cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is
written for convection baking. Preheat the oven for best results.
13 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with di erent BTU ratings.
The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner
size increases.
· Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
· Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
· The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid
rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The
large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size
appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge
of the pan.
Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are
installed correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.
Important: The burner head has a hole which fits over the ignitor. Make sure
the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps.

Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for
best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper
cookware”.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see
“Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials
available are:
· Aluminum – Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to
darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
· Copper – Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).
· Stainless – Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy
to clean, and resists staining.
· Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks
evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
· Porcelain-enamel on metal – Heating characteristics will vary depending on
base material.
· Glass – Slow heat conductor.
· Flat bottom and straight · Curved and warped pans.

Figure 3: Proper cookware
IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the
element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will
damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for
use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking
areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
15 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

the cooktop recess..
Figure 4: Grate installation
IMPORTANT
· Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using
the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the
recess on the cooktop.
· Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the
recess.
· Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with
aluminum foil or with any other lining.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with
your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as
follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
· Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from
the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
· Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond
the surface element markings or burner.
· It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and
ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
· Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
· Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once
boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that
boil.
· Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
· It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
16 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner
size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many di erent sized
surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of
food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the
cookware size. · The standard size burner or burners may be

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is
clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame
should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-
orange.
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower
setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as
the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cooking
Figure 6: Griddle
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that
require large flat surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled
sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking di erent foods at the same time.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy
water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.
If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one from
Frigidaire.com.
CAUTION
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher
flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame
(Figure 7).
Using the griddle:
Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle
for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat
distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI
setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat
distribution.
18 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o the
openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may
appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Types of Oven Rack
flat oven rack
Figure 9: Oven rack types
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most
oven rack positions.
Figure 8: Oven vent
WARNING
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners
to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so
will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean,
temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the
oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot
which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are
left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven
racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door
until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat or O set Oven Racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove – Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop
position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace – Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven
walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack
back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

- The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). Allow cooked meat to rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.
No Preheat
No Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience
foods and can be used with regular recipes also. No Preheat may be used with
temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions
for food preparation time and temperature.
During No Preheat function, the oven elements will cycle on and o . The

Air Sous Vide
Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without
overcooking.
How Sous Vide Works
Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking,
food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking
medium of hot water or air.
Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food
slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous
vide cooking is not fast, but with a little planning, it can be very easy.
Advantages of Sous Vide
· Food does not lose flavor or aroma due to evaporation.
· Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.
· The low cooking temperature leaves meat and fish more tender.
· Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural flavor.
· The low cooking temperature greatly reduces the risk of overcooking. The
food never gets hotter than the intended serving temperature.
· Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are finishing at di erent times,
food that has reached serving temperature can wait, since it stays at serving
temperature in the cooking medium.
Food Safety
Because sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, safe food handling is
especially important.:
· Always keep raw food in safe conditions before you start cooking.
· Clean the raw food before you start cooking.
· Use Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,” to find the recommended
cooking time and temperature for the food.
· Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to cook foods that can be safely
eaten raw.
· Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (normal refrigerator temperatures) when
preparing to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.
· Sous vide dishes are best served immediately after cooking. If food is not
served immediately, use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep it
refrigerated for up to 3 days.
· Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.
· Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food during preparation. Do not use
the same tools on di erent food items without washing them.
· If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites and yolks from touching the
outsides of the shells.
· Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan before sous vide cooking can
destroy surface bacteria to improve food safety.
· Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide function.
· Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide function. Food needs to be sealed
air-tight in a pouch for sous vide cooking.
Vacuum Sealing
Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches.
The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that
leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that
can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the
instructions that come with your sealer and pouches.
· Use pouches that are specified for your sealer and for sous vide cooking.
· Do not reuse vacuum pouches.
· Put food in one layer in the pouch for even cooking.
· It is recommended to use one food portion per vacuum pouch.
· For most sous vide cooking, use the highest vacuum setting for best cooking
results.
· Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean to get a good seal. If
cooking at higher temperatures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal the pouch.
· Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cooking and should not be used for
regular baking or broiling.
Sous Vide Cooking
1. Prepare · Start with the freshest, highest quality food possible.
· Clean and cut the ingredients.
2. Package · Place the ingredients in the plastic pouch for your vacuum
sealer. Add seasonings for cooking.
· Note: If cooking multiple items at once, you may want to write the contents
on the outside of the pouches before filling and sealing them.
· Vacuum seal the pouch, removing as much air as possible. Verify that you
have achieved an air-tight seal.
· If not cooking immediately, store the pouch in a refrigerator until ready to
cook.
31 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
To cook Air Sous Vide:
1. Press until “SouS” appears in the display.
2. Press START.
3. Use number keys to set desired temperature. IMPORTANT: Since sous vide
cooking allows for a suggested minimum cooking time and a target time, it is
recommended to set the timer to at least the minimum time or to any time up to
the target suggested time. With sous vide cooking, there is a maximum cooking
time which allows the user more flexibility when cooking with no specific end
time. Note: Use the settings recommended for the type of food in Table 4 on
page 37.
4. Press START. 5. Finish
· Open the plastic pouch and remove the food.
· You may finish the food with a final searing or grilling to achieve a nice
crust and roast flavor.
· Add final seasonings or sauces if needed. · Serve.
CAUTION
Even though sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, use care when
handling the pouch and its contents, which will be hot to the touch. Only use
temperatures below 140°F (60°C) for cooking foods that can be safely eaten
raw.
IMPORTANT The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is
popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some
food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C)
for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F (77°C).

Slow Cook
Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long
period of time. For best results when using Slow Cook: · Completely thaw all
frozen foods before cook-
ing. · When using a single oven rack, place in oven
rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various
bakeware when cooking multiple food items. · Do not open the oven door often
or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often,
the Slow Cook time may need to be extended. · Cover to keep foods moist or use
a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown. · Roasts
may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on
the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven
will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature. · Add any cream or
cheese sauces during the last hour. Slow cooking meats may result in the
outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal.
To set Slow Cook:
1. Press until “SLo C” appears in the display.
2. Press START.
3. Press to choose Level 1, 2, or 3.
Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to
rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from
all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are
crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven o . If the
fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the
fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the
oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F (177°C): 1. Press Conv
Roast.
2. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.
3. Press START.
4. Set Cook Time if desired.
5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not necessary.
6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Convection Roast press OFF.

Convection Roasting tips: · Preheating for convection roast is not necessary
for most meats and poultry. · Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on
the lowest rack of the oven. · Since convection roast cooks faster, may be
able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the rec-
ommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed,
increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained. · Do not cover
foods when dry roasting – covering will prevent the meat from browning
properly. · When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan
will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Cooking with Steam
Note: More moisture will be present than during conventional baking or
roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door, and depending
on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the floor.
Steam Cooking Tips:
Oven Positioning
· Use flat rack in the position in the oven for most foods for Steam Roast.
· Lowest position for poultry.
Preparing
· Use 2-1/2 cups of water for steam bake and steam roast. If steam functions
are frequently used, use distilled water.
· Using water container, pour water slowly onto the bottom of oven cavity
while still cool.
· Never add water if the oven is warm. · Never add water during a Steam Bake
or Steam
Roast cycle.
While in Use
· When using Steam, follow the recipe for preheating, cook time, and cook
temperature. If the original recipe did not use steam, reduce the temperature
by 25°F (14°C), but not below 325°F (163°C).
· Always start with a cold oven.
· Preheating is not necessary when using steam roast.
Cleaning
· With a paper towel lightly soaked in distilled white vinegar, wipe out
bottom of oven cavity after the oven is cooled or before each use.
· Use the self clean function to clean heavily soiled areas.
· If residue remains after self clean, pour a thin layer of distilled white
vinegar onto the bottom of the oven cavity. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Wipe
out vinegar.
Steam Bake
Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack. Baked
goods will have improved browning and texture and is recommended for baking
moist and flavorful breads and pastries such as baguettes and croissants. Use
flat rack in position 3 for best results for Steam Bake. Pans should be pulled
to the front of the rack. To set Steam Bake: 1. Press Steam Bake.

Cooking with Food Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts,
hams, or poultry.
The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air
Fry, Convection Roast, Steam Roast, and Turkey.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal
food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe
settings for how the oven behaves should be set first in the oven menu.
When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visible
in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or
the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature
is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.
37 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Proper placement of probe in food. Insert the probe so that the probe tip
rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best
results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat,
gristle, or the cookware.
Insert probe tip to center of
food
· For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large
muscle or joint.
· For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.
· When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
· For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest
part of the breast.
CAUTION
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always
insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in and always
use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.
38 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
To set Food Probe: 1. Connect the food probe to the oven and insert
the probe into the food. 2. Select a cooking function, such as Convection
Roast, and set the temperature.
3. Press Food Probe. The food probe indicator lights up.
4. Use the number keys to enter the target temperature for the food.
5. Press START. 6. When the food reaches the target temperature,
the progress bar will be fully lit and a tone will sound. 7. Press OFF to
return display to show the time of day.
NOTE
During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the center of
the screen. To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the food or
receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached. If the probe is
removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel and the oven
will turn o . If the probe is removed from the food only, the probe feature
will remain active and may eventually generate a probe too hot message. To
change the target (internal food) temperature or the set oven temperature
touch the one you want to change and use the number keys to adjust the
temperature.

use the Self Clean feature.
CAUTION
Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive household
cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean. Before cleaning any part of the
oven, be sure all controls are turned o and the oven is cool. The oven may be
hot and can cause burns.
Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven
temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the
function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a

accessories. 2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from
the oven bottom.
3. Press until “Cln” appears in the display.
4. Press START. 5. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom
(Figure 12). Close oven door. 6. Press START. The time left for the Steam
Clean
cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this time. If door
is left open while in Steam Clean, (d-O) will appear in the display.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the End
message will show in the display. Press o to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the

Figure 12: Add 1 cup of tap water
Figure 13: Clean around the oven door gasket
Notes: · Opening the oven door during the steam clean
cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean. · For
best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean
works best for soils on the oven bottom. · A non-abrasive scouring pad,
stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without
cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.
· Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that
may spill while wiping out. · Do not leave the residual water in the oven for
any length of time. · Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the
oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become
damp; do not wipe dry. · Local water sources often contain minerals (hard
water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of
water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water. · Steam clean
cannot be programmed with a delayed start time. · If Steam Clean results are
not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 47.
42 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Clean
Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking
temperatures), eliminating soils completely or reducing them to very fine
powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The clean cycle lasts for 2-4 hours.
Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements
before starting a self clean cycle
CAUTION
· Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean
cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.
· Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range
with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and
destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.
· Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle
ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns,
stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.
· The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the
self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.
· Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the oven interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the
oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap
and water prior to starting Self Clean.
· Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped
up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected
to high temperatures.
· Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the surface
as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
· Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove
the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and
compromise the performance of the oven.
Important notes:
· Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to
avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may
discolor.
· Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and
any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a
self clean cycle and will melt.
43 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
· The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation
fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle. This will help
eliminate the normal odors.
· Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is
flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to
completely lock or unlock the oven door.
· When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain locked until the
range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was
programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before
you will be able to open the oven door.
Setting Self Clean
To set self clean:
Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items
from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.
1. Press Self Clean. The warning to remove RACKS will flash in the display to
remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean. The default
3 hour clean time will appear in the display.
2. Use the number keys to adjust the cleaning time. Press START to activate
self clean.
3. The RACKS warning will end and Self Clean will start. The motor door lock
will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven door while the lock
motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The
oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds.
· Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will appear in the display indicating
self clean has started.
· Do not force the oven door open when selfclean is active. This can damage
the automatic door-locking system.
· Use caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is complete; the
oven may still be very hot.
4. When self clean is finished: CLEAN message will turn o , and Hot will
appear in display window.

47 CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven
cleaners.
To remove heavy soil: 1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven over-
night or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt
spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner.
If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Do
not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with
hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
48 CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air
flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
· Protective liners–Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high
heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the
oven. These types of materials can also reduce the e ectiveness of the air
circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
· Aluminum utensils – The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of
other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.
· Oven racks – Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner
in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible
cooking results for any oven.
Replacing the Oven Light
CAUTION
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven
light.
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is
covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven
is in use.
To replace the oven interior light bulb: 1. Turn electrical power o at the
main source or
unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-
clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
NOTE
Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not
touch the new bulb with your fingers when replacing. This will shorten the
life of the bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back
in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
