IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS •• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5 WARNING Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot. •• Do not store or use flammable material in the oven or near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CHILD SAFETY •• Do not touch the hot surface between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the drawer on the front of the oven while the oven is in operation. The surface becomes hot and can cause burns and other injury. •• Do not leave small children unattended near the oven. WARNING Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7 ENERGY SAVING TIPS •• Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven. •• For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 31 for proper rack and pan placements. •• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS •• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls. •• Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard.

Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it before changing the temperature settings. If after familiarizing yourself with the new oven, you still think that it is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself. 1 2 NOTE To begin, either raise or lower the thermostat 15 °F (8 °C). Try the oven with the new setting.
OPERATION 25 Cook Time (Timed Cook) The automatic timer of the Delayed Timed Cook function turns the oven on and off at the time you select. This feature can be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes. Set the oven to cook for a specific length of time using the Timed Cook feature. This feature can only be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes.
OPERATION Using the Cooktop Using the Cooktop Elements CAUTION Cooking Areas •• Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for oven and cooktop use. The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. •• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop and oven. •• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
OPERATION 27 There is one dual element located in the left front position. Use the dual element as a dual or single element. 1 Push in the appropriate knob. 2-A Turn the knob counterclockwise to use it as a Single element. 2-B Turn the knob clockwise to use it as a Dual unit. Heating with inner (smaller) element only CAUTION FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140 °F. •• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food.
OPERATION Using the Proper Cookware Choosing Cookware The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware. 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: Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element.
OPERATION 29 Using Oven Racks The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity. Before Using the Oven NOTE •• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven. •• It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle. •• The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle.
OPERATION Baking Tips Tips for Convection Baking •• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used. •• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds. •• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time. •• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
OPERATION 31 Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.
OPERATION Broil Smoking The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables. Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.
OPERATION 33 The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. Food Quantity and/or Thickness Rack First Side Position (minutes) Second Side (minutes) Comments Space evenly. For 1-4 patties, use Speed Broil. For more than 4 patties, use Broil. Ground Beef Well done 1 lb.
OPERATION Tips for Broiling Beef •• Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest for five minutes before being cut into and eaten. This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the food and creates a more tender and juicy result. •• Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke when broiling.
OPERATION 35 The Speed Roast feature is designed to quickly roast poultry. The combination of intense heat from the upper heating element and heated air from the back heating element result in crispier food and help to save cooking time. Speed roasting is especially good for medium sized poultry. NOTE •• The recommended cook time is 60-65 minutes for a whole chicken weighing 3.3 lb. •• Adjust the cook time according to the weight of the poultry. •• Place the oven rack in position 2.
OPERATION Remote Start Sabbath Mode If the appliance is registered on a home Wi-Fi network,this function starts preheating and then holds the temperature for up to an hour (including preheating time). If the appliance is not registered on the network, “OFF” appears in the display. Follow the instructions on page 39 to register the appliance on the network. Sabbath mode is used on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays.
