OVEN SAFETY  
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.  
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all  
safety messages.  
This is the safety alert symbol.  
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or  
“WARNING.” These words mean:  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
immediately follow instructions.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
follow instructions.  
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you  
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical  
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the  
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up  
of pressure may cause container to burst and result  
in injury.  
Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the  
Room.  
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks  
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be  
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact  
hot heating element in oven.  
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not  
be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in  
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand  
on any part of the oven.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using the oven.  
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of  
the oven unless specifically recommended in the  
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a  
qualified technician.  
Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not  
be stored in an oven.  
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. Other  
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to  
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent  
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven  
doors, and windows of oven doors.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or  
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Use Only 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.

1. Broil element  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook  
food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in  
intervals to maintain the oven temperature.  
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will  
turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.  
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.  
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and  
smoke.

1. Broil element  
2. Bake element  
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The  
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier  
cleaning.  
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System  
The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat  
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature  
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements  
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when  
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically  
activated when the oven is in use.  
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on  
the edges to prevent curling.  
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing  
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very  
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.  
If the oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the broil  
element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn  
off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.  
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing  
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated  
oven, making cleaning more difficult.  
To Bake or Roast:  
To Broil:  
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is  
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food  
in, unless recommended in the recipe.  
Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to  
the Broiling Chart.  
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the  
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

How the Cycle Works  
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the  
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and  
popping sounds.  
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil  
to a powdery ash.  
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the  
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30  
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours  
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.  
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp  
cloth.  
OVEN CARE
