injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances,

basic safety precautions must be followed, including

those in the following pages.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

English 3

Burn Prevention

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, potholders, or other

flammable materials contact heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to

cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent

openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to

the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/

or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and

make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After

the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your

cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or

cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of

pressure may cause the container to burst and cause

injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content

(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol

evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning

as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only

small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door

carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact the heating elements.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long

hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose

fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,

jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it

is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians

to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the

appliance by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer

or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the

unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in

use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,

whether or not the appliance is in use.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot

surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from

steam.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor

of California to publish a list of substances known to the

state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas

cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during Self Cleaning

can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide. The

fiberglass insulation in Self Clean ovens gives off very

small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several

cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential

cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of

reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized by:

1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately after

Self Cleaning the oven.

3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this

manual.

9 CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in

an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on

the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance

to reach items could be seriously injured.

9 WARNING

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

This product contains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

English 4

When Self Cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will

not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self Clean.

Contact service.

Wipe out excessive spillage before Self Cleaning the oven.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems . Keep pet

birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes

could reach them. During Self Clean, fumes are released

that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as

overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be

harmful.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or

roasting bags.

Do not clean parts or accessories in the Self Clean oven.

English 5

Getting Started

Parts

Picture shows a double oven. Your appliance may vary slightly.

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can

be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it

is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after

the oven is off.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located below the control panel. Warm air

may be released from the vent before, during and after

cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent,

and condensation may collect in this area. This area may

be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent,

since it is important for air circulation.

Operation

About the Appliance

Your new oven combines premium cooking results and

simple operation.

The oven design has been optimized to improve heat

distribution in the oven cavity. The result is even browning,

shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption.

Thanks to the Self Clean mode, hours of scrubbing into the

darkest corners of the oven is a thing of the past. The oven

burns off soil simply and easily. All that is left to do is to

remove a few ashes from the oven when Self Clean is

done.

Clear labeling of the touch keys and knobs make operating

the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for

operating the oven.

Please call us if you ever have any questions. Our

telephone number is located at the beginning of this

Getting the Most Out of

Your Appliance

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of

the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at

least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking

four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two

racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

The top rail is used as a guide for the top rack position (6).

When inserting an oven rack use rack positions 1 through 6

only. Do not place a rack on the top rail.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part

of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing

these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the

oven.

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection

Bake, Convection Multi-Rack, Pizza, Broil, and Warm

modes.

• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe

ingredients or food items.

• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat

time.

• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as

quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and

reduction of oven temperature.

Preheat Reminders

Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the

market using a concealed bake element. The lower

element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that

the preheat time is different than your previous oven that

had an exposed element on the bottom.

• Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no

cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom

of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected

from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is

easy.

• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,

casseroles and frozen foods.

• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply

to your house is less than 240 volts.

• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer

preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F

is longer than the preheat time for 350³ F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not

preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

• Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.

• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid

temperature reduction.

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the

oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

• Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow

manufacturers' recommendations.

• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For

tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, shiny,

metal bakeware.

• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will

absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.

Some manufacturers recommend reducing the

temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow

manufacturers' recommendations.

• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the

length of cooking time.

• Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.

• Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven

during cooking as this could change the cooking

performance. Store the pans outside the oven.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking

times will vary.

• For accurate information, write the Extension Service,

Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado

80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify

which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:

general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to

evaporate from the food during any cooking process.

The amount depends on the moisture content of the

food. The moisture may condense on any surface

cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control

panel.

Bake

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food

items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or

package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of

the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings

will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware

will lengthen the cook time for most foods.

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at

least 1 to 1 1/2 “ space between pans or dishes and the

oven walls.

• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window

to periodically check food for doneness instead of

opening the door.

• If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2

racks. For cookies, use rack positions 2 and 4.

Convection Bake (some models)

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar

cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat,

yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

• Slight decrease in cook time.

• Greater volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie

sheet without sides.

• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1”

to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so

that one is not directly above the other (see graphic

below).

• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.

Convection Multi-Rack

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking

individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits.

It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the

same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks

simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases

slightly.

The benefits of Multi-Rack include:

• Even browning.

• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one

time.

Tips

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection

Conversion is not activated.

• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as

cookie sheet without sides.

• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1”

to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so

that one is not directly above the other (see graphic

below).

%

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.

Both the upper and lower elements

cycle to maintain the oven

temperature.

2

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

Heat comes from the upper and lower

heating elements. The main

difference in convection baking is that

the heat is circulated throughout the

oven by the convection fan.

27” appliances: 30” appliances:

:

Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat

from a third element behind the back

wall of the oven. The heat is

circulated throughout the oven by the

convection fan.

English 15

Pizza (some models)

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

• When baking a frozen pizza:

For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.

For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.

• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil

and place it in a bowl tightly covered with plastic wrap

to prevent crust formation.

• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.

• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally

with corn meal for ease in transferring the dough to the

pan.

• If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough

with a fork before baking.

• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for

a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer

crust.

• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s

recommendations while the oven is preheating.

• Bake homemade pizza on rack position 2 in the center

of the rack.

• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.

• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza

mode.

Roast

Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry.

Tips:

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.

• Use a high-sided pan, or cover dish with a lid or foil for

less tender cuts of meat.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal

temperature of the meat.

• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet

done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat

to prevent overbrowning.

• Let meat stand covered with foil 10–15 minutes after

removing it from the oven.

• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in

this mode.

• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings

behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

• Add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or

stock for flavor and moisture.

2

In the Pizza mode, heat from the

upper and lower elements is

circulated throughout the oven by the

convection fan.

%

Roast uses both the upper and lower

elements to maintain the oven

temperature. Roasting uses more

intense heat from the upper element

than the lower element. This results in

more browning of the exterior while

the inside remains especially moist.

English 16

Convection Roast (some models)

The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing

tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for

roasting vegetables.

The benefits of Convection Roast include:

• As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection

modes.

• Rich, golden browning.

Tips:

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.

• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

• Check doneness early, since roasting time may

decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for

examples.

• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,

uncovered pan for roasting.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal

termperature of the meat.

• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet

done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat

to prevent overbrowning.

• Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes

after removing it from the oven.

• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for

recommended rack positions.

Broil

The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts

of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to

brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door

closed. The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.

• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more

than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.

• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent

sticking.

• Use a broil pan and grid (or a deep pan with a metal

rack) designed to drain fats and oils away from the

cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

• Turn meats once during the recommended cook time

(see Broil Chart for examples). Fish does not need to

be turned.

• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass

ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate

the high temperature.

• Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly.

Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil

element.

Convection Broil (some models)

The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick,

tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not

recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other

foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection

broiling is faster.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more

than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.

• Use a broil pan and grid (or a deep pan with a metal

rack) for broiling.

• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to

drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to

prevent smoking and spattering.

• Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate

the high temperature used for broiling.

For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/

Poultry Cooking Chart.

2

Convection Roast uses heat from

the top and bottom elements as well

as heat circulated by the convection

fan.

(

Broil uses intense heat radiated from

the upper element.

7

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It

combines intense heat from the upper

element with heat circulated by a

convection fan.

English 17

Warm

• Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until

ready to serve.

• Warm mode temperatures are 150 ºF – 225 ºF.

• The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170 ºF.

• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with

a lid or aluminum foil.

Proof

• No preheat is necessary.

• Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.

• The Proof mode temperature range is 85 ºF to 125 ºF.

• The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100 ºF.

• Loosely cover the the bowl or pan and use any rack

that accommodates the size of the container.

• Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to

check the rising of the dough.

%

In Warm, the upper and lower

elements maintain a low temperature

in the oven cavity in order to keep

food at serving temperature.

9 CAUTION

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.

• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature.

The USDA recommends holding hot food at

140 ºF or warmer.

• DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.

%

In Proof, the oven uses the lower

element to maintain a low

temperature to proof bread or other

yeast doughs.
