OVEN INFORMATION YOU NEED ALUMINUM TO KNOW FOIL Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It is not recolmnended to use alulninuln foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. If you would like to use it to make cleaning easier, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan, and then the juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.

OVEN CONVECTION COOKING-CONVECTION COOKING The Convection settings use heaters on the top and bottom of the oven as well as a rear heater located behind the rear wall and convection fan cover. The rear heater is used for true European convection performance. There are various sequences of the heaters used to achieve ideal cooking. The convection fan moves the heated air throughout the entire oven to ensure even browning and crisping.
OVEN COOKING-CONVECTION • Since recipes vary, the food may need additional cooking time. Simply return the food to the oven and watch it closely until done or you can set the Kitchen Timer. You do not need to reset the oven temperature. • The oven will not turn off until you touch the oven's Stop/Clear TO CHANGE SET TEMPERATURE pad.

OVEN COOKING-CONVECTION CONVECTION BROIL Use the broiler pan, grid and roast/broil rack. The roast/broil rack enables the heated air to circulate on all sides of the foods ensuring no need to turnover during broiling. The juices are sealed in and all sides brown well. Allow the oven to preheat when using Convection Broil. Place 1/4 tO 1/2cup of water in the bottom of the broiler pan to help eliminate any smoking and make clean-up easy. The door is closed during Convection Broil.
OTHER HOW TO START FEATURES SELF-CLEAN Remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock (approx. 1 hour) if you are planning to use the oven after a self-clean cycle. Remove the broiler pan and broiler grid, all utensils and any foil. We recommend removing the oven racks. If they go through the clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. With soap and water, clean any soil from the oven frame and the area outside the gasket on the door.
OTHER OVEN FEATURES LIGHT The oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, Touch Oven Light pad on the control panel to turn the light on or off. The oven light will come on automatically one minute before the end of a time-controlled oven cooking operation (Timed Cook). KITCHEN TIMER • Suppose you want to set Kitchen Timer for 15 minutes.
OTHER FEATURES LOCK LOWER OVEN ADJUST OVEN TEMPERATURE The lower oven can be locked to prevent unauthorized use. Your new oven may cook differently than your previous oven. For the first few weeks, use suggested package times and temperatures. Should you determine that an adjustment is desirable, try a few recipes or prepared foods to determine the number of degrees for the actual oven adjustlnent.
CLEANING AND CARE Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and all surfaces are cool. NON-COOKTOP gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. 1 Apply a few drops of cleaner cream to the cooktop that is not hot. SURFACES 2 Dampen clean paper towel and clean top.

(SELF-CLEANING) AND REPLACE OVEN DOOR 2 Pull the lock located on both hinge supports up and engage in the hook of the hinge levers. You may have to apply a little downward pressure on the door to pull the locks fully over the hooks.
CLEANING OVEN AND CARE OVEN RACKS LIGHT REPLACEMENT Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven lightbulb. Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. The high temperature will reduce lamp life. Clean with soap and water, rinse and polish dry.
