OVEN SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
**This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:** To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the oven.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – 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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ovens:

• Do Not Clean Gasket – The gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

Oven Vent(s)

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.
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 position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
• Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide for positioning racks.

Inserting the Wire Shelf and other Accessories
Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides in correspondence to the rack positions pictured below, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards. Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

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 entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
Broiling
When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on rack above a drip tray, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in position 5. Cook over a drip tray filled with 2 cups (500 ml) of water. Broil for 15-30 minutes and turn two thirds of the way through cooking.
Traditional Cooking

doublerack baking; 1, 3, and 5 when triple-rack baking; and 1, 3, 4, and 5 when quadruple-rack baking.
For best results, use Bake function for single rack and Convect Bake function for multi-rack.
Cakes and Layer Cakes| 3 or 4 when single rack baking; 2 and 4 when doublerack baking; 1, 3 and 5 when triple-rack baking; and 1, 3, 4 and 5 when quadruple- rack baking. For best results, use Bake function for single rack and Convect Bake function
for multi-rack. Place the cakes as shown in the picture below.

NOTE: Additional racks may be required for multi-rack cooking.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark, dull, non- stick, or glass pans may require shorter baking times, in contrast insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.
Preheating and Oven Temperature
Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. Remember to select the preheat icon in the upper right corner of temperature select screen to enable preheat. The oven will take approximately 6 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven, will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Baking and Roasting
The oven will take approximately 6 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Accessories

The number and the type of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased.
Other accessories can be purchased separately, see “Assistance or Service” section.

Use to cook food or as a support for pans, cake tins and other ovenproof items of cookware.

Use as an oven tray for cooking meat, fish, vegetables, focaccia, etc. or position underneath the wire shelf to collect cooking juices. Use for cooking all bread and pastry products, but also for roasts and fish.

OVEN CARE
Self Cleaning Cycle
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room. Self clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. See the “Oven Vents” section. Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
• Hand clean inside door edge and the 1 1 /2″ (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during high-temp self cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
• Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.

IMPORTANT: Before starting self clean, switch remote control to OFF by selecting the dedicated button on the control panel. For Double Oven, the self-clean feature is only available in the upper oven
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.
The Self Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 1 hour and 15 minutes for light soil, 1 hour and 40 minutes for medium soil and 2 hours for heavy soil. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled. The oven lights will not work during the Self Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the Self Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the Self Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
Before Self Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.

1. Touch the Settings keypad.

2. Select the Self Clean icon.

3. Select type of Self Cleaning:
   Light: 1 hour and 15 minutes Medium: 1 hour and 40 minutes

   See the “To Delay Start Self Cleaning Cycle” Section.
   The oven doors will automatically lock.
   NOTE: It may take a couple moments for the oven door to automatically lock after starting the Self Clean Cycle.
   When the self cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.

6. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To Delay Start Self Cleaning Cycle:
Follow steps 1 through 4 above, then:

1. Select DELAY START.

2. Select the start time of when the Self Cleaning cycle should begin by scrolling from left to right.

3. Select START DELAY.
   The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start countdown.
   When the Self Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools, the oven doors will unlock.

4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.
   To Stop Self Cleaning Anytime:
   Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.

Clean cycle did not work on all spills| Several cooking cycles between Clean cycles or spills on oven walls and doors: Run additional Clean cycles. The affresh ® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner can be used for stubborn soils. See the “Accessories” and “Self Cleaning Cycle” sections for more information.
Warm air coming from oven vent| Warm air coming from the oven vent is normal. During a self clean cycle, the air stream is increased. The cooling fan may operate both during an oven’s cycle and after the cycle has ended, causing warm air to exit from the oven vent.
Long preheat times| Not all cycles require preheating. See cycle instructions for preheat recommendations. Most cycles preheat to 350°F (177°C) in 6 minutes. Higher temperatures will take more time. Removing unused oven racks prior to preheating can help reduce preheat time.
Self Cleaning cycle will not operate| The oven door is open: Close the oven door all the way. The function has not been entered: See the “Self Cleaning Cycle” section. A Timed Self Clean cycle has been set: See the “Self Cleaning Cycle” section.

Racks were positioned improperly: See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. Not enough air circulation around bakeware: See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. Batter distributed unevenly in pan: Check that batter is level in the pan. Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware: Lower the oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher position in the oven. Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware: Move rack to a lower position in the oven. Incorrect length of cooking time was used: Adjust cooking time. Oven door was not closed: Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing. Oven door was opened during cooking: Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom: Move rack to higher position in the oven. Pie crusts browning too quickly: Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. Remote control is ON: Switch OFF the remote control selecting the dedicated control panel key pad.
