Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note

If power outage occurs during Sabbath mode the unit will remain in Sabbath mode but off when power is restored.

Unit Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1¹/₂ between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Traditional Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges of the racks.

NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Aluminum Foil and Unit Liners

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover and oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided center food in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

Proof

Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. Press the Proof pad and then press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out.
Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for double wall ovens, proof can not be run when running a self-clean mode in the other oven.

Warm

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then press Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to harm heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broil Lo

The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Cooking Guide

*When baking four cake layers at a time, use racks 2 and 4. Place the pans as shown so that one pan is not directly above another.
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.

CARE AND CLEANING

Your Product

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any parts of the oven.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel - they will damage the finish.

Device Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is presistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)

Do not use a steel wood pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the Accessories sections of this manual.

Device Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certifie for self-cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the oven. Close the door. Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start. The oven door will lock. You can not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil.

NOTE: Water in the bottom of the oven may be hot right after finishing the cycle

Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-cean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Press the Self Clean pad and a default self-clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hours clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after pressing the Self Clean pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Flat Racks

Flat racks that are enameled, not shiny, can be left in the cavity during self clean, or can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Unit Light

SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.

The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

1. Disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
2. Remove oven racks.
3. Slide a flat blade screwdriver or butter knife between the metal housing and the glass light cover.
   NOTE: on some models there is a metal clip visibly holding the glass. The tool needs inserted between the metal housing and the clip holding the glass.
4. Support the glass light cover with two fingers to prevent the cover from falling to the bottom of the oven.
5. Gently twist the screwdriver blade or butter knife to loosen the glass light cover. Be careful not to chip the oven coating.
6. Remove the glass light cover.
7. Remove the bulb by firmly grasping and sliding the bulb straight out until the two prongs have cleared the ceramic holder.
8. Do not touch the glass of the new replacement bulb with your fingers. It will cause the bulb to fail when it lights. Grasp the replacement bulb with a clean towel or facial tissue with the prongs facing down. Align the two prongs in the ceramic holder, pressing gently until the bulb is securely in the ceramic socket.
9. Slide the protective lens into the holder and push until the clips snap into the housing.
10. Reconnect power.

Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in the Owner's Manual.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• 
  If the heating element in the appliance develops a glowing spot or shows other signs of damage, do not use that area of the appliance. A glowing spot indicates the element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the appliance off immediately and have heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating to prevent ignition of these materials.
• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage.
• Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock fire, or cuts may occur.
• Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• 
  Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance - children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• 
  Use only dry pot holders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
• Do not touch the burners, griddles (on some models), grates (on some models), the cooktop or oven heating elements, or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may remain hot enough to burn for an extended period of time following cooking, even though they no longer appear to be on or hot.
• 
  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. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include burners or heating elements, grates (on some models), cooktop surface, oven vent openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, metal trim parts above the door, any backguard, or shelves located above cooking surface.
• 
  Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover to bottom of the oven or anywhere in the oven, except as described in the Owner's Manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations are provided by the USDA and FDA. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
• 
  Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease in the oven or near the oven may ignite.
• Do not store any flammable materials or temperature sensitive items inside of or on the appliance.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
• Remote Operation - This appliance is configurable to allow remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable materials or temperature sensitive items inside of the appliance.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• 
  If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 
  Stand away from the appliance when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• 
  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. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• 
  Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
• Place oven tacks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces and do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items store in an oven can ignite.
• 
  Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may oveheat resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
• Never broil with the door open.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• 
  Before replacing oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the appliance at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.
• 
  The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.
• Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in the Owner's Manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation.

• 
  Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns.
• 
  Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks, any aluminum foil, and other utensils from the oven. Only dark-colored porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Failure to do so may cause damage to these items and the oven and present a potential burn or fire hazard.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
• Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and do not use commercial oven cleaner unless certified for use in a self-cleaning oven.
• Do not clean the door gaskets. The door gaskets are essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gaskets.
• 
  The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

NOTE: Some cooking functions and features are not available until after you WiFi connect your new oven to your local wireless network. Please follow the instructions on the oven control and the WiFi & Remote Enable section of this guide. This provides capability to use SmartHQ app functions and ensures that the oven has the latest software.
