Warnings

CAUTION

DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children

climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual.

Therefore, children should be kept away.

WARNING

This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven

reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. A

powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of

the self-clean cycle.
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of

these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the

porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other

materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,

causing permanent damage to the oven.

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any
visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range
thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and
odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal.

Oven

Important! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry
thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat to
450°F, and operate for an hour.

All models include:
• A broad range of baking and broiling modes—up to eight cooking

modes in all—to make even your most challenging baking projects
a success.

• Exclusive VSH™ Pro Sealed Burner System (Vari-Simmer™ to

High)—combination of patented burner and top design provide
cleanability plus superior performance at simmer and high.

• Exclusive one-piece tooled and porcelainized cooking surface

contains spills for easy cleaning.

• Split baking and broiling elements—which reduces preheating time

and provides greater control and more even heating.

• A reversing convection fan which is two times larger than most on

the market—this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and
evenly—even when baking large quantities.

• Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten

cooking times and cook foods more evenly.

• Three broiling modes including a new low-broil mode for delicate

broiling and top-browning.

• A profiled, concealed bake element for easier cleaning.
• This appliance is certified by Star-K to meet strict regulations in

conjunction with specific instructions found on www.star-k.org

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after

self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become

extremely hot to the touch!

During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may

be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in the high-

density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly

cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning

cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE

SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

CAUTION

You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to

ensure that it does not catch fire.
