Use and Care

OPERATING THE OVEN

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Clean removable oven parts

 Remove and properly discard all temporary labels and packaging material including cardboard, zip

ties, paper and wrapping from the oven, broiler pan, oven racks, oven rack glides and exterior

surfaces. Remove protective plastic wrap from any stainless steel surfaces.

 BEFORE turning on your oven for the first time, remove and wash the oven racks and rack glides in

hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. See the Care and Cleaning guide for more details.

 Perform the Oven Burn-Off Procedure.

IF JUST DOING OVEN BURN OFF REMOVE BAKESTONE LOCATED ON THE OVEN

BOTTOM. IF PRE-DRYING THE BAKESTONE, THE OVEN BURN OFF PROCEDURE

IS NOT NEEDED. STONE CONDITIONING MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE USING

THE BAKING STONE.

Oven Burn-Off Procedure

The entire Burn-Off Procedure takes about 100 minutes.

Remove the baking stone before performing the Oven Burn-Off Procedure. If not

removed, it could shatter. The stone drying procedure can be used in lieu of the burn-off

procedure.

New appliances are wiped clean with solvents at the factory prior to shipping. The Burn-

Off procedure burns off any remaining processing residue.

Failing to perform the Oven Burn-Off Procedure before first use of the oven may result in

undesirable odors, flavors, and excessive smoke when you use your oven the first time.

 Make sure your appliance has been installed properly and all performance checks and adjustments

are completed.

 Turn on ventilation hood and make sure entire room is well-ventilated.

 Check that the oven cavity is empty. The baking stone, oven racks, oven guides, roast probe and any

other object should NOT be in the oven.

 Initiate the Self-Clean cycle. See page 37.

 The Oven Burn-Off Procedure can be completed by running the Self-Clean Cycle.

 After the Self-Clean cycle is complete, allow oven to cool completely.

 Insert oven rack guides and racks.

 Your oven is now ready for use.

You may notice the following events during the Oven Burn-Off Procedure. All are normal.

 Strong odor

 Some smoke

 Condensation on the front of the oven including the oven door, oven window, control

panel and side panel.
