This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your oven. Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys Ange and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroes, meats RACK POSITION Lowest eve or 2nd eve from bottom 2nd eve from bottom Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2nd or 3rd eve cakes, nonfrozen pies from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third eve from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 14. Persona Injury Hazard. Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. If rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Faiure to foow the above precautions coud resut in persona injury. 6
For best air circuation The hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better baking. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For best resutts, aow 1 I$ to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use ony one cookie sheet in the oven at one time. Use the foowing as a guide to determine where to pace the pans: One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack. Three or four pans Pace in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. Using auminum foi for baking Use auminum foi to catch spiovers from pies or casseroes: Pace the foi on the oven rack beow the rack with the food. Turn up foi edges and make sure foi is about 1 inch (3 cm) arger a around than the dish hoding the food. Do not cover the entire rack with auminum foi. It wi reduce air circuation and cause poor cooking resuts. Do not ine oven bottom or entire oven rack with foi or other iners. Poor baking wi resut. Eectrica Shock and Fire Hazard Do not aow foi to touch the heating eements. Faiure to foow this precaution coud resut in eectrica shock or fire hazard and 1 damage to the eements. 7

How the cyce works The Setf-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than it does for norma baking or broiing. This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and burns it away. Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, you can adjust the cyce time to the amount of soi in your oven. You can set the cyce anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 26.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. Note that the heating stops when the 3hour setting is up, but it takes onger for the oven to coo enough to unock. z [ c 51 3T 1 Time I, Hours 3 STOP Before you start Before you start the Sef-Ceaning cyce, make sure you: Hand-cean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the ceaning cyce for soi to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy stee-woo pad for ceaning. NOTE: DO NOT cean, move or bend the sea. Poor ceaning, baking and roasting may resut.
Remove the broier pan grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: You can cean the broier pan (without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soi by hand-ceaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soi is not removed, too much smoking wi occur. The chrome broier pan grid wi discoor if ceaned in the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can cean the oven racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, but they wi become harder to side. (See page 30.) If you cean racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) Heat and odors are norma during the Sef- Ceaning cyce.
