This document provides comprehensive user instructions for a Maytag electric built-in oven, covering its functions, usage, and maintenance. It begins with crucial safety information, emphasizing the importance of reading and obeying all safety messages to prevent injury or damage. The manual highlights potential hazards such as fire, electrical shock, and burns, and advises on proper installation, supervision of children, appropriate attire, and safe handling of hot surfaces and food containers. It also includes specific warnings regarding oven vent obstruction, touching hot surfaces, and the proper use of potholders. For self-cleaning models, there are additional safety guidelines concerning the door gasket, the use of oven cleaners, and the removal of utensils before the self-cleaning cycle.
The "Feature Guide" section details the various keypads and their corresponding functions, providing a quick reference for operating the oven. This includes instructions for setting the clock, using the kitchen timer, and initiating baking, broiling, and keep warm functions. It explains how to adjust temperature and time settings using the "+" and "-" arrow pads. The guide also covers advanced features like "Hold 3 Sec to Lock" for oven control lockout, which prevents accidental changes to settings, and "Timed Cooking" and "Delayed Start" for automated cooking processes. The manual clarifies that the "Cancel" keypad stops all functions except the clock, kitchen timer, and oven control lockout.
The "Oven Use" section delves deeper into the operational aspects of the oven. It describes the control display, explaining how it flashes upon power-up or after a power loss and how indicator lights show active functions. The document outlines the different audible tones the oven produces, distinguishing between basic function confirmations, invalid pad presses, and end-of-cycle alerts. It also explains how to adjust the oven's temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius and how to calibrate the oven temperature if it cooks faster or slower than expected. The "12-Hour Shutoff" feature, which automatically turns off the oven after 12 hours of continuous operation, is also mentioned.
A significant part of the "Oven Use" section is dedicated to "Aluminum Foil" and "Positioning Racks and Bakeware." It warns against lining the oven bottom with foil to prevent permanent damage and advises against covering entire oven racks to ensure proper air circulation. Detailed instructions are provided for positioning oven racks for various cooking tasks, such as broiling, 2-rack baking, and baking layer cakes. The manual emphasizes placing racks before turning on the oven and not moving them with bakeware. It also includes an illustration of rack positions and recommendations for optimal placement of bakeware to ensure even cooking.
The "Baking and Roasting" subsection explains that the bake element glows red when cycling on and that preheating is generally not necessary for roasting unless specified by a recipe. It describes the preheating process, including how the display temperature increases as the oven heats up and when the preheat tone sounds. The "Broiling" subsection provides instructions for broiling, including positioning cookware, closing the door to the broil stop position, and adjusting broil temperature. It recommends using a broiler pan and grid to drain juices and prevent spatter and smoke.
"Timed Cooking" is explained in detail, allowing users to set the oven to turn on at a specific time, cook for a set duration, and then shut off automatically. This section provides step-by-step instructions for both a standard timed cook and a delayed timed cook, noting that delayed start should not be used for delicate foods like breads and cakes.
The "Oven Care" section focuses on maintenance, particularly the "Self-Cleaning Cycle" available on some models. It begins with a "Burn Hazard" warning, advising against touching the oven during the self-cleaning cycle and keeping children away. Important notes about the health of birds sensitive to fumes and the need to avoid blocking oven vents are included. The manual outlines the steps to prepare the oven for self-cleaning, such as removing all utensils and cleaning the inside door edge. It explains how the self-cleaning cycle works, burning soil to a powdery ash, and how to remove the ash once the oven has cooled. Instructions for stopping the cycle and understanding display messages like "LOCK" are also provided. For electronic oven controls with adjustable self-clean, the manual details how to select between HI and LO self-clean times based on soil level.
"General Cleaning" provides guidance for routine maintenance, recommending soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge for most surfaces. Specific instructions are given for cleaning "Stainless Steel" surfaces, emphasizing the use of appropriate cleaners and avoiding abrasive materials to prevent damage. It also details the cleaning method for the "Control Panel and Oven Door Exterior," advising against abrasive cleaners and recommending glass cleaner or all-purpose appliance cleaner applied to a soft cloth. For "Oven Cavity" cleaning, it warns against using oven cleaners and suggests cleaning food spills when the oven is cool to prevent staining. "Oven Racks" can be cleaned with a steel-wool pad, and a light coating of vegetable oil can help them slide more easily.
The "Troubleshooting" section offers solutions to common issues, encouraging users to check the manual or the Maytag website before calling for service. It addresses problems such as the oven not operating, indicator lights flashing, oven temperature being too high or too low, and unsatisfactory cooking results. For each issue, it suggests specific checks, such as verifying control settings, checking for power failures, ensuring proper rack positioning, and adjusting cooking times.
Finally, the manual lists "Accessories" that can be ordered, including stainless steel cleaner and polish, all-purpose appliance cleaner, and a broiler pan. The document concludes with the "Maytag Major Appliance Warranty," detailing the limited one-year warranty, items excluded from coverage, and the disclaimer of implied warranties. It provides contact information for customer assistance, including a website, phone number, and mailing address, and advises users to keep their model and serial numbers handy for service inquiries.
