BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven vent location Arranging oven racks Each oven has its own vent as shown below (Figure 1). 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 off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Main oven vent location Auxiliary oven vent location Always arrange oven racks when THE oven is cool (Prior to operating the oven).

Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.

DO HAND CLEAN FRAME IMPORTANT Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
Setting main OVEN controls SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a selfclean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.

Care & Cleaning (Cleaning Chart) Cleaning various parts of your appliance Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is COOL. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later. Surfaces How to Clean Aluminum (trim pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Care & Cleaning Porcelain enamel oven Cleaning (auxiliary oven) IMPORTANT Adhere to the following cleaning precautions: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually. Remove spillovers and heavy soils as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the number of future major cleanings. CAUTION Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation. Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal.
Care & Cleaning Ceramic glass cooktop cleaning & maintenance Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop. Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Care & Cleaning Cleaning recommendations for the ceramic glass cooktop (continued) Plastic or foods with a high sugar content: These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated).
Care & Cleaning Care and cleaning of stainless steel Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer to the General Care & Cleaning table for detailed cleaning instructions. Removing and replacing the main oven door (If equipped with hinge style A) CAUTION The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. To Remove Oven Door: 1.
Care & Cleaning Changing oven light CAUTION Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle. High temperature will reduce lamp life. The interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven is opened. The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on the Electronic Oven control.
