Page 8 OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER The control has a series of tones that will sound at different times. These tones may sound while you set the control for an oven function or at the end of the oven function. They will also alert you when an incorrect time or temperature has been entered or if there is a problem with the oven.
Page 9: Cook And Hold
12 Hour Shut-Off With this feature, should you forget and leave the oven on, the control will automatically turn off the oven after 12 hours during baking functions or after 3 hours during a broil function. If you wish to turn off this feature, follow the steps below.

• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans. • Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly. Because food is heated faster in a convection oven when using the convection modes, many types of food LOWER OVEN START...
Page 12: Convection Baking
CONVECTION BAKING As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for convection baking. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes. Multi-Shelf Baking Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on two, three or more shelves at a time.
Page 13 TIMED CONVECTION BAKING How to Convection Time Bake The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically at the end of cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off after a preset cooking time) will be described.
Page 14 TIMED CONVECTION BAKING How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop Convection Bake Easy Steps: 1. Press CONVECTION BAKE. 2. Press the number pads to set the oven temperature. 3. Press COOKING TIME. 4. Press the number pads to set the length of baking time.
Page 15: Convection Roasting
CONVECTION ROASTING Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most cases, cooking time will be less when using the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour.
Page 16: Probe
NOTE: For best results when roasting large turkeys and roasts, we recommend using the probe included in the convection oven. For the correct placement of the probe, see the description in the Roasting section. The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and pressed START.

Page 18: Shelves
Oven Shelves Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position C or D.
Page 19 Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur. Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.
Page 20: Timed Baking
How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically at the end of cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off after a preset cooking time) will be described.
Page 21 How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop Easy Steps: 1. Press BAKE. 2. Press the number pads to select oven temperature. 3. Press COOKING TIME. 4. Press the number pads to set the length of baking time. 5. Press DELAY START. 6.
Page 22: Do It Yourself
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT— You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
Page 23 Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking.
Page 24 ROASTING WITH THE PROBE Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe Your double oven has a probe in the upper oven only. A temperature probe has been provided for use in your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures.
Page 25 How to Set the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and pressed START. 1. Insert the probe into the meat. 2.
Page 26: Questions And Answers
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended if you did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
Page 27 Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
Page 28 Use of Aluminum Foil You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan.
Page 29: Broiling Guide
• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.
Page 30 OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN Before a Clean Cycle 1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t withstand the high cleaning temperatures. NOTE: The oven shelves and the convection roasting rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Page 33 Questions and Answers Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven? A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.
Page 34: Care And Cleaning
Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your oven to assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF AND ALL SURFACES ARE COOL BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Page 35: Oven Door
Lift-Off Oven Door The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door. To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open.
Page 36: Oven Light Bulb
Probe The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry. Do not immerse the temperature probe in water. Do not store the temperature probe in the oven.
