About the Oven
Oven Features
Automatic Shutoff The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is
set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).
Self Cleaning Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven.
Indicators and Other Features Beep - Signals that more information must be entered or confirms the receipt of
an entry. A Beep also signals the end of a program or an oven error.
End-of-Cycle Indicator - To indicate when a mode is finished, 3 consecutive
beeps will sound.
Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default tempera-
ture. These can be changed when a different one is needed.
Flashing Symbol or Number - Signals an incomplete setting and calls for
another step or START to be pressed.
F Number Codes -These codes display when there is a problem with the range.
Convection Fan The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is oper-
ating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is
opened. The convection fan does run during self-clean, although not at the begin-
ning of the mode.
Oven Parts and Accessories
Flat Oven Racks Depending on model, the range is equipped with either three flat racks or two flat
racks and one full extension rack. The racks are designed with a stop so they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.

oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.If a rack must
be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heat-
ing elements.
