IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least  
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.  
I Do not touch the heating elements or the  
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces  
may be hot enough to burn even though  
they are dark in color. During and after  
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other  
flammable materials contact any interior  
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for  
cooling first.  
I When using cooking or roasting bags  
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s  
directions.  
I Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also  
a precaution against burns from touching  
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.  
I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.  
I Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent  
openings, surfaces near the openings,  
crevices around the oven door, the edges  
of the window and metal trim parts above  
the door.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
I Do not use the oven for a storage area.  
Items stored in an oven can ignite.  
I Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not  
in use.  
I REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven  
may be hot when the door is opened.  
I After broiling, always take the broiler pan  
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover  
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire  
next time you use the pan.  
I Stand away from the oven when opening  
the oven door. Hot air or steam which  
escapes can cause burns to hands, face  
and/or eyes.  
I Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings  
I Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
in or near your oven.  
I Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
I Keep the oven vent unobstructed.  
I Do not use aluminum foil to line oven  
bottoms, except as suggested in this  
manual. Improper installation of  
aluminum foil may result in a risk  
of electric shock or fire.  
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
I Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder  
contact the heating elements.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Using the oven.  
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the supports, they will  
stop before coming completely out, and  
will not tilt.  
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you,  
tilt the front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the shelf  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the shelf in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the shelf out to the bump on the  
shelf support.  
The oven has 4 shelf positions.  
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Preheating and Pan Placement  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
temperature. Preheating is necessary for  
good results when baking cakes, cookies,  
pastry and breads.  
Baking results will be better if baking  
pans are centered in the oven as much as  
possible. Pans should not touch each  
other or the walls of the oven. If you  
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans  
so one is not directly above the other,  
and leave approximately 1 ⁄2between  
pans, from the front, back and sides of  
the wall.  
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or  
tone, preheat 10 minutes.  
1
Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line the  
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,  
you must mold the foil tightly to the  
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
Never entirely cover a shelf with  
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat  
circulation and result in poor baking.  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to  
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower  
shelf several inches below the food.  
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch  
a spillover.  
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling  
Place the meat or fish on the broiler  
grid in the broiler pan.  
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for  
HI Broil.  
Follow suggested shelf positions in  
the Broiling Guide.  
To change to LO Broil, touch the  
BROIL HI/LO pad again.  
If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks  
may be broiled by preheating the broiler and  
positioning the oven shelf one position higher.  
Touch the START pad.  
When broiling is finished, touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad.  
Leave the door open to the broil  
stop position. The door stays open  
by itself, yet the proper temperature  
is maintained in the oven.  
Broiling Guide  
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the  
door closed but it may not brown  
as well because the oven heating  
element will cycle on and off.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few  
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the  
thermostat yourself.  
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.  
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.  
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect the broiling temperature.  
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.  
To Adjust the Thermostat  
When you have made the  
adjustment, touch the START pad  
to go back to the time of day  
display. Use your oven as you  
would normally.  
Touch the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO  
pads at the same time for 3 seconds  
until the display shows SF.  
Touch the BAKE pad. A two-digit  
number shows in the display.  
The oven temperature can be  
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter  
or (-) 35°F cooler. Tap the + pad  
to increase the temperature in  
1-degree increments. Tap the pad  
to decrease the temperature in  
1-degree increments.  
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you  
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.  
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat  
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.  
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the  
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor  
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least  
70% vegetable oil.

slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges and slowly lower it over  
both hinges.  
I Use soap and water to thoroughly  
clean the top, sides and front of the  
oven door. Rinse well. You may also use  
a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the  
outside of the door. Do not let water  
drip into the vent openings.  
The oven door is removable for  
easier access to the light bulb.  
Lift the door straight up and off  
the hinges.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
Do not lift the door by the handle.  
I Soap and water will normally do the  
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may  
require cleaning with a mild abrasive  
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may  
also be used.  
I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,  
tomato sauces and basting materials  
containing acids may cause discoloration  
and should be wiped up immediately.  
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid  
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices  
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may  
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.  
I Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive  
cleanser or scouring pad.  
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with  
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.  
Oven Light  
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect  
electrical power to the oven at the main  
fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
Let the bulb cool completely before  
removing it. Replace the bulb with a  
40-watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch  
a hot bulb with a damp cloth because  
the bulb will break.  
Painted Surfaces  
Clean with soap and water or a vinegar and  
water solution.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders, scouring pads or harsh abrasives on any  
painted surface.

Care and cleaning of the oven.  
Broiler Pan & Grid  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid  
from the oven. Remove the grid from the with detergent while hot and cover with

the pan into a proper container.  
wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking  
the pan will remove burned-on foods.  
After broiling, remove the broiler  
pan from the oven.  
Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid  
in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic  
scouring pad.  
Both the broiler pan and grid may be  
cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be  
cleaned in a dishwasher.  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid  
anywhere in the oven.  
Control Panel  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong  
after each use. Clean with mild soap and  
water or vinegar and water, rinse with  
clean water and polish dry with a soft  
cloth.  
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or  
oven cleansers on the control panel—they  
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution  
of vinegar and hot water works well.  
Oven Heating Elements  
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the  
bake element. Clean with warm soapy  
water.  
Do not clean the bake element or the broil  
element. Any soil will burn off when the  
elements are heated.  
Porcelain Oven Interior  
With proper care, the porcelain enamel  
finish on the inside of the oven—top,  
bottom, sides, back and inside of the  
door—will stay new-looking for years.  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
Follow the package directions.  
IDo not spray oven cleaner on the electrical  
controls and switches because it could cause a  
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.  
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We  
recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the oven.  
IDo not allow a film from the cleaner to build up  
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the  
oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located  
at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the  
sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being  
careful not to move the sensor as a change in  
its position could affect how the oven bakes.  
Soap and water will normally do the  
job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may  
require cleaning with a mild abrasive  
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads  
may also be used.  
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid  
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices  
or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may  
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.  
IDo not spray any oven cleaner on the oven  
door, handles or any exterior surface of the  
oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner  
can damage these surfaces.  
Household ammonia may make the  
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in  
a shallow glass or pottery container in  
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia  
fumes will help loosen the burned-on  
grease and food.
