(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of  
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or  
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential  
exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned  
that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some  
low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon  
monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly  
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in  
the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as  
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect  
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid  
electrical shock.  
Important notice regarding pet birds:  
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the  
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes  
released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to  
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and  
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit  
breaker before replacing bulb.  
About Your Appliance  
WARNING  
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Make sure all controls are “OFF” and oven is COOL before  
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical  
shock.  
WARNING  
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to  
prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also,  
DO NOT use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.  
WARNING  
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet finishes, use only  
materials and finishes that will not discolor or delaminate and will  
withstand temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat and moisture resistant  
adhesive must be used if the product is to be installed in laminated  
cabinetry. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that  
the materials meet these requirements.  
WARNING  
This appliance 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.  
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the  
any vents above or below the doors.  
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after

BURN HAZARD  
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual.  
Therefore, children should be kept away.  
The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger of  
burning: DO NOT touch the glass!  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to  
ensure that it does not catch fire.  
To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time baking:  
DO NOT use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such  
as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry,  
or foods with stuffing.  
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or  
frozen before it is placed in the oven.  
DO NOT use foods containing baking powder or yeast with automatic  
time baking. They will not rise properly.  
DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for more than 2 hours after  
the end of the cooking cycle.  
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to  
remain in the oven for more than 2 hours.  
WARNING  
The cooling fan should be operating when the unit is in operation.  
If you notice the cooling fan is not operating or you observe unusual  
or excessive noise coming from the cooling fan, contact a Viking  
Authorized Service Center before continuing operation. Failure to do  
so can result in damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets.  
WARNING  
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!  
Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need to be unobstructed  
and open to provide proper airflow for optimal oven performance.  
WARNING  
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning  
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food  
without the heat.  
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  
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children  
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

Using the Oven  
Using the Oven  
Preheat  
Rack Positions  
For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven  
to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the  
oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from  
the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature.  
Therefore, placing food items in the oven during preheat mode is not  
recommended. The Preheat System is engineered so that the oven is  
brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which will provide  
the optimum cooking environment based on the selected cooking  
mode in the shortest possible time.  
Each oven is equipped with three heavy-duty racks, including two  
TruGlide™ racks. With the TruGlide™ racks, the bottom section  
remains in the oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when  
pulled. This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain a lot  
of juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the five rack  
positions.  
All ovens have five rack positions. Position 5 is the farthest from the  
oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks  
can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results  
with conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time.  
It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks  
in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

Conventional and Convection Cooking  
Conventional and Convection Cooking (cont.)  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,  
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional  
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended  
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other  
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake.  
This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique  
which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire  
oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with  
convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for  
baking heavier foods. Below are tips which will allow you to get the  
best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.  
• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require  
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to  
convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by  
preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving  
acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the  
similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction  
during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a  
time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the  
convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time  
until satisfactory results are achieved.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (-3.9°C) and the cooking  
time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the  
same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller  
load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or  
cooking large loads.)  
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is  
possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time. This is especially  
true for large items cooked in the convection roast function.  
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods  
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods  
that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include:  
pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience  
foods.  
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,  
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions  
3 and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to  
top. See “Oven Features” section.  
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over-baked. This  
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven  
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right  
after they are set out of the oven.

Using the Oven  
Using the Oven  
Condensation  
Pan Placement Tips  
The oven is supplied with a system which provides a natural circulation  
of air. In most cases, this natural circulation will eliminate any observed  
condensation. However, there will be instances where condensation is  
observed. This is NOT a sign that the oven is not working properly.  
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of  
the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.  
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one  
of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th position or the 3rd  
and 5th position for more even baking. When baking on three racks,  
use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more consistent  
results.  
Condensation can occur depending on the following factors:  
Type of food being cooked  
o Steam and condensation is a natural by product of cooking any  
food with high water content, such as frozen food, chicken, etc.  
o Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to  
reduce the amount of condensation that forms.  
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans  
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly  
above another.  
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even  
air circulation.  
• Length of cooking time  
o If the oven is going to be used for prolonged periods of time,  
then additional ventilation may be required.  
o Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been cooked  
and the oven has been switched off.

Placement  
o To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated before  
placing food in the oven cavity.  
• Blockage of the ovens air flow  
o If the oven air flow is changed, the oven will not perform to  
specification.  
• Proper installation ventilation  
o The oven needs good ventilation within the installed cabinets to  
perform per specification.  
Type of cabinetry the oven is installed in  
o Cabinets need to meet specific temperature requirements.  
o Some cabinetry materials have high water contents that can  
outgas during the heating cycle.

BAKE (Two-Element Bake)  
TRU CONV (TruConvec™)  
Full power heat is radiated from the bake  
element in the bottom of the oven cavity  
and supplemental heat is radiated from  
the broil element. This function is  
recommended for single-rack baking.  
Many cookbooks contain recipes to be  
cooked in the conventional manner.  
Conventional baking/ roasting is  
The rear element only operates at full  
power. There is no direct heat from the  
bottom or top elements. The motorized  
fan in the rear of the oven circulates air  
in the oven cavity for even heating. Use  
this setting for foods that require gentle  
cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast  
breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads,  
cookies, and other baked goods come  
particularly suitable for dishes that  
require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and  
casseroles.

required. Use this function for single-rack baking, multiple-rack baking,  
roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also  
recommended when baking large quantities of baked goods at one  
time.

and eliminates the hot and cold spots  
• Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before  
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in  
the center of the food should come clean when done.  
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure  
best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be  
baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use  
of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-  
coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.  
found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is  
the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks—a feature  
not possible in a standard oven.  
When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing  
meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on  
the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be  
baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even  
when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot  
air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this  
setting for baking and roasting.

Solving Baking Problems  
Roasting  
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below  
for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is  
important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking  
times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary  
slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it  
is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times  
accordingly.  
CONV ROAST  
(Convection Roast)  
The convection element runs in  
conjunction with the inner and outer  
broil elements. This transfer of heat  
(mainly from the convection element)  
seals moisture inside large roasts. Use  
this setting for whole turkeys, whole  
chickens, hams, etc.  
Common Baking Problems/Remedies

Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking”  
section for additional information.

3. Too many pans  
Roasting Tips  
Cakes crack on top  
1. Batter too thick  
2. Oven too hot  
3. Wrong pan size  
1. Follow recipe  
2. Add liquid  
3. Reduce temperature  
4. Use recom. pan size  
ALWAYS use a pan with low sides such as a broiler pan. The  
hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted.  
DO NOT cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in  
juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light,  
crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats  
and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or  
poultry to stand at room temperature.  
Cakes are not level

3. Use proper pan  
Food too brown on  
bottom  
1. Oven door opened  
too often  
1. Use door window to  
check food  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (-3.9°C) and the cooking  
time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
2. Dark pans being used 2. Use shiny pans  
3. Incorrect rack position 3. Use recom. rack position  
4. Wrong bake setting  
5. Pan too large  
4. Adjust to conventional  
or convection setting  
as needed  
ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting  
rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add  
water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry  
heat process.  
5. Use proper pan  
Food too brown on  
top  
1. Rack position too high 1. Use recom. rack position  
2. Oven not preheated  
3. Sides of pan too high  
1. Hot cookie sheet  
2. Allow oven to preheat  
3. Use proper pans  
1. Allow sheet to cool  
between batches  
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan.  
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during  
roasting.  
Cookies too flat  
• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will  
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.  
• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional  
bake setting rather than either convection setting.  
Pies burned around

Roasting Tips (cont.)  
Roasting Tips (cont.)  
• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the  
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the  
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part  
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone,  
fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat  
temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After  
reading the thermometer once, insert it 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) further into  
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature  
registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.  
After preparing the meat and placing on broiler pan, follow these  
steps for proper probe placement.  
• Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and  
mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the  
probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part  
of the roast.  
• Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the  
bone, fat, or gristle. For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into  
the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the  
probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. Insert the  
probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and  
parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.  
• Roasting times ALWAYS vary according to the size, shape and quality  
of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in  
the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking  
techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the  
thermometer registers 5°F (-15°C) to 10ºF (-12°C) lower than the  
desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from  
the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in  
order to make carving easier.  
• When setting the probe temperature, it is recommended to set the  
temperature about 10°F (4°C) lower than desired internal  
temperature. The meat will continue to cook when removed from  
the oven and will reach the desired doneness while “standing”.  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature  
is the best test for doneness. The meat probe takes the guesswork out  
of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.  
Note: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.  
Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result  
in damage to the probe. Use the handles of the probe and plug when  
inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.  
To avoid damaging your probe, DO NOT use tongs to pull on the  
cable when removing.  
To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted  
before inserting.  
To prevent possible burns, DO NOT unplug the probe from the  
outlet until the oven has cooled.  
NEVER leave the probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.  
DO NOT store the probe in the oven.

Broiling  
Broiling  
CONV BROIL  
LOW BROIL  
(Convection Broil)  
This mode uses only a fraction of the  
available power to the inner broil  
element for delicate top-browning. The  
inner broil element is on for only part of  
the time. Use this setting to gently  
brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4  
minutes.  
The top element operates at full power.  
This function is exactly the same as  
regular broiling with the additional  
benefit of air circulation by the  
motorized fan in the rear of the oven.  
Smoke is reduced since the airflow also  
reduces peak temperatures on the  
food. Use this setting for broiling thick  
cuts of meats.  
Broiling Instructions  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat.  
It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and  
patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the  
food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired  
results.  
HI BROIL  
Heat radiates from both broil elements,  
located in the top of the oven cavity, at  
full power. The distance between the  
foods and the broil elements  
Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for  
cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of  
meat. Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly  
quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces  
better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside  
and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.  
determines broiling speed. For fast  
broiling, food may be as close as 2  
inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on  
the top rack. Fast broiling is best for  
meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for  
broiling small and average cuts of meat.  
To Use Broil or Convection Broil  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
MED BROIL  
Inner and outer broil elements pulse on  
and off to produce less heat for slow  
broiling. Allow about 4 inches (10 cm)  
between the top surface of the food  
and the broil element. Slow broiling is  
best for chicken and ham in order to  
broil food without over-browning it.  
Use this setting for broiling small and  
average cuts of meat.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the  
temperature control knob to “BROIL”.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position. With open-door broiling, the broil element does  
not cycle on and off. With closed-door broiling, the broil element  
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required.  
A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce  
smoke and odors.

Broiling Tips  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed  
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking  
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.

To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to  
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,  
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing  
food.

• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.  
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after  
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle  
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will  
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with  
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up  
the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can  
also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with  
the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent  
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.

Convection Dehydrate/Defrost  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Convection Dehydrate  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits  
and vegetables.  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no  
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
1. Prepare the food as recommended.  
Oven Surfaces  
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven;  
contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).  
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven.  
Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven  
features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior. See “Self-Clean Cycle”  
for complete instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL  
PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR  
ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE  
YOUR OVEN.  
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to  
“TRU CONV”.  
CAUTION  
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to  
ensure that it does not catch fire.  
Control Knobs  
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF  
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in  
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing  
firmly onto stem.  
Convection Defrost  
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.  
3. Turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.  
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be  
peeled off. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with  
hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid  
cleaner designed for this material when soapy water will not do the job.  
If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners,  
or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel surface to remove  
encrusted material, soak area with hot, wet towels to loosen the material,  
then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal  
knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces.  
Scratches are almost impossible to remove.  
WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to  
remain in the oven for more than 2 hours.  
WARNING  
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning  
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food  
without the heat.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Self-Clean Cycle  
Oven Racks  
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this  
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and  
deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with  
the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after  
completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated  
after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot  
be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.  
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured  
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS  
OR RACK SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could  
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.  
Meat Probe  
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled  
scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots  
with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.  
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:  
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The  
high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and  
damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the  
self-clean cycle, foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.  
DO NOT immerse the meat probe in water.  
DO NOT store the probe in the oven.  
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use  
oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the door.  
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle  
begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean  
if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame,  
and up to 2” (5.1 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water.  
Rinse thoroughly and dry.  
WARNING  
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Make sure all controls are “OFF” and oven is COOL before  
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical  
shock.  
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.

Self-Clean Cycle  
Replacing Oven Lights  
To start the Self-Clean cycle:  
1. Close the door completely.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit  
breaker before replacing bulb.  
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.  
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the  
knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on.  
Within 30 seconds, the automatic door latch engages and the oven  
indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain ON  
until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle  
on and off during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the  
elevated temperature needed for self-clean, the door-lock indicator  
light comes on.  
WARNING  
DO NOT touch bulb with bare hands. Clean off any signs of oil from  
the bulb and handle with a soft cloth.  
4. The door-lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is  
completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe  
temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 3-1/2 hours with an  
additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough  
for the door latch to disengage.  
Halogen Lights  
1. Unsnap glass light cover using a  
screwdriver in the access groove.  
2. Firmly grasp light bulb and  
pull out.  
Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will  
continue to run for the 3-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.  
3. Replace with halogen bulb  
using volt and wattage  
requirements listed on glass  
cover.  
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and  
temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven  
has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the  
oven surfaces with a damp cloth.  
4. Replace the light cover by  
snapping glass cover onto  
metal box.  
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:  
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the  
temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to  
“OFF”. When the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the  
automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be opened.  
When the oven has completely cooled, remove any ash from the  
oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.  
5. Reconnect power at the main  
fuse or circuit breaker.  
Power Failure  
DO NOT attempt to use during a  
power failure. Unit will not function.
