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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For self-cleaning ovens: Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door 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.

Tones Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: One tone ■ Valid pad press ■ Oven is preheated ■ Function has been entered Three tones ■ Fahrenheit and Celsius The temperature is preset in Fahrenheit, however it can be changed to Celsius. To Change: Press and hold BROIL/MAXI//ECONO for 5 seconds. Depending on your model, a tone will sound and “C°” or “C” will appear on the display for 3 seconds, or until you press CANCEL. Repeat to change back to Fahrenheit.
Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings. The oven(s) provide accurate temperatures; however, they may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount.
BAKEWARE To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide. NUMBER OF PAN(S) POSITION ON RACK 1 Center of rack. 2 Side by side or slightly staggered. 3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another. Oven Vent(s) Single and Double Oven Models 1 1. Oven vent Double Oven Models Only Bakeware 1 The bakeware material affects cooking results.
To Regularly Set, Untimed: Sabbath Mode The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until turned off. A timed Sabbath Mode can also be set to keep the oven on for only part of the Sabbath. When the Sabbath Mode is set, the number pads are active. On single oven models, CANCEL OFF and START are also active. On double oven models, UPPER and LOWER OVEN and UPPER and LOWER OVEN CANCEL / OFF are also active. No tones will sound and the displays will not show messages or temperature changes.
Temperature Change The oven temperature can be changed when the oven(s) are in the Sabbath Mode. No tones will sound and the display will not change. The heating elements will not turn on or off for a random time, anywhere from 16 to 24 seconds, after START is pressed. It may take up to one-half hour for the oven to change temperature. Number pads 1 through 0 represent temperatures. Use the following chart as a guide.
BROILING CHART Maxi and Econo Broiling 1 For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil elements, rack position 4 is recommended. For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. A temperature of 500°F (260°C) is recommended. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. FOOD 1. Broil heat Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. During maxi broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat.
To Convection Bake: Convection Cooking (on some models) In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.
To Convection Roast: Before convection roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces. Food/Rack Position Cook Time (min. per 1 lb. [454 g]) Oven Temp. Internal Food Temp.
Convection Broil PAD/ OVEN SETTING OVEN TEMP COOK TIME or PROBE TEMP FOOD or MEAL 3 Convection Roast 350°F (177°C) 40 min. Stuffed Pork Chops, Baked Winter Squash, Bread Pudding 4 Convection Bake 375°F (191°C) 45 min. Oven Fried Chicken Pieces, Scalloped Potatoes, Cherry Pie 5 Convection Bake 425°F (218°C) 20 min.
To Set Cycle: Before setting a cycle, start with the meat or main dish temperature and cook time. Choose baked goods with an oven temperature similar to those of the meat or main dish. Temperatures ranging from plus or minus 25 to 50 degrees and cook times ranging from plus or minus 10 to 15 minutes are acceptable. Choose vegetables and fruits last. 1. Press CONVECT FULL MEAL. 2. Press any oven setting pad, for example BAKE. 3. Press number pads to enter oven temperature. 4. Press COOK TIME. 5.
Dehydrating (single, upper and, on some models, lower oven) Dehydrating dries food. For additional information, refer to a book written specifically about dehydrating or preserving foods. Dehydration racks and an oven door stop are required, but not supplied with this oven. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Proofing Bread (single, upper and, on some models, lower oven) Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.
To Use: To Change Probe Temperature, Oven Setting: Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door. 1. Unplug probe, plug back in, then close oven door. 2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under the “To Use” section. 1 2 1. Temperature probe 2. Temperature probe jack 1.
To Set a Cook Time and Stop Time: Timed Cooking WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly. To Set a Cook Time: 1.
How the Cycle Works OVEN CARE Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models) 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.
5. Press START. The start time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will automatically lock and “DOOR LOCKED,” “DELAY,” and the stop time will also appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. OVEN AND ROASTING RACKS ■ See “Self-Cleaning Cycle” first. Remove racks or they will discolor and become harder to slide. If this happens, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.
Oven Door For normal range use, it is not suggested to remove the oven door. However, if necessary, follow these instructions. The oven door is heavy. TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. To Remove: 1. Open oven door all the way. 2. Flip up the hinge latch on each side. Nothing will operate ■ Has a household fuse been blown or has the circuit breaker been tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
Oven cooking results not what expected ■ Is the appliance level? Level the appliance. See the Installation Instructions. ■ Is the proper temperature set? Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook. ■ Is the proper oven temperature calibration set? See “Oven Temperature Control” section. ■ Was the oven preheated? See “Baking and Roasting” section. ■ Is the proper bakeware being used? See “Bakeware” section. ■ Are the racks positioned properly? See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
