• To prevent the possibility of burns, connect and unplug
the meat probe using hot pads.
WARNING:
• To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and
be sure that the oven is cool before cleaning.
• for your safety, do not use the oven to cook without
the convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not
installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven
are exposed.
• Do not leave the oven unattended when cooking with oils
or fats. They can be a fire hazard if overheated.
• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the
self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
• The oven automatically locks the oven door during self-
cleaning. Do not try to force the door open after it is
locked. Damage to the door and door latch may result.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan
grill and pan, oven racks, convection filter, meat probe,
and any other utensils.
• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn up during self-
cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.
• properly clean and maintain the oven as recommended
in this manual.
• Clean only those parts listed in this manual.
• Use only the cleaning solutions specified in this manual
to clean your oven. Do not use any cleaners that are
not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven.
Other cleaning solutions could produce hazardous
fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could
permanently damage the finishes.
• Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
Rubbing, moving, or in any way damaging the door
gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal. Clean
only as specified in this manual.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to
remain on the oven surfaces inside or outside the oven.
The porcelain finish may stain.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam
could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
• Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the
meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the floor of the oven.
Objects left on the bottom of the oven could trap heat in
the bottom, damaging the bake element. In addition, the
objects themselves could be damaged.
• Do not allow the glass panels in the top and bottom
of the oven to become covered up by cookie sheets,
aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Some of the ovens heating
elements are behind the glass panels. Covering them
could cause the heating elements behind them to over-
heat, damaging the oven.
• To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the
oven when it is not being used.
• Do not allow the cool air intake or exhaust slots,
located below the bottom of the oven door(s) to become
obstructed at any time. Do not operate the oven if the
metal strip below the oven door is bent.
• Do not allow the cool air slots located inside the door(s)
to become obstructed at any time.
• Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room.

Getting To Know Your Oven
Before Getting Started, Become familiar with Your
Oven.
parts of the Oven:
•
Control panel:
Your oven’s control panel consists of keys
and a display. You use the control panel to control all the
oven’s features (sometimes called modes).
•
Oven racks:
Your oven comes with 3 adjustable oven racks.
It comes with 6 if you have a double oven.
•
Rack supports:
There are 6 sets of rack supports inside
each oven chamber. They support the adjustable oven racks.
•
meat probe connector:
When you use the meat probe,
insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other end into
this connector. See the Meat Probe section on page 46 for
proper operation.
•
Oven lights:
There are 2 oven lights inside the oven
chamber so that you can easily see the food inside the oven
when the door is open and through the oven window when
the door is closed. The lights come on automatically when
you open the oven door or you may press the light key on the
control panel to keep the lights on. The bulbs are 12 volt, 10
watt, halogen.
•
Bake elements:
Hidden below the glass panel on the floor
of the oven chamber are the bake elements. They are the
source of bottom heat.
•
Broil elements:
Hidden above the glass panel in the roof of
the oven chamber are the broil elements. They are the source
of top heat.
•
Convection fan:
The convection fan blows hot air into the
oven chamber during the convection cooking process. The
convection filter covers it.
•
Convection element:
The convection element creates the
hot air that is blown into the oven chamber by the convection
fan during the convection cooking process. The convection
filter covers it.
•
Convection filter:
The convection filter covers the convection
fan. It helps prevent the transfer of taste from one food to
another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps
the oven cleaner, especially when roasting or broiling. In
addition, it covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.
•
Self-clean latch:
The self-clean latch automatically locks the
oven door during the self-clean cycle. The door latches for
your safety. There are very high temperatures inside the oven
during the self-clean cycle.
•
Door gasket:
The door gasket prevents heat from escaping
when the door is closed.
