About Pure Convection™ Baking • • The uniform air circulation provided by Pure Convection™ allows you to use the full capacity of your oven. You can successfully prepare food, like cakes, cookies, muffins, and rolls on 2 or 3 racks at the same time. You can also prepare complete meals using multiple racks. Direction of Airflow • Baking Tips • Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look through the oven door window to check the progress of baking whenever possible.
Deluxe Features (Continued) Roasting Modes: Description: Jump-In Temperature: PURE CONVECTION™ SEAR The browning process sears the surface of the meat to keep the natural juices from escaping. In Pure Convection™ Sear mode, the oven cooks the meat 75°F higher than set temperature for the first 15 minutes. This mode is best for game hens, chickens, stuffed and un-stuffed turkeys, turkey breasts, pork tenderloin, and pork loins. Jump-in temperature: 350°F. PURE CONVECTION™ Uses only convection heat.
Broiling Tips • • • Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers, and fish. Broiling in the oven is done with the oven door completely shut. 350°F BAKE DELAY OPTIONS The heating elements are disabled when the door is open. • • • • • • • 12:25 PM ▲ UPPER NOTE: • Before you press the START key, press the SAVE key.

WARNING: To prevent the possibility of burns, connect and unplug the meat probe using hot pads. IMPORTANT: • • • • NOTE: Use the handle to insert and remove the meat probe skewer.
High Altitude Cooking Cooking Tips Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe adjustments should be made in some cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try making the following adjustments for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven (Continued) • Press the MAIN MENU key. About the Self-Clean Cycle • • • • • • • • • The oven will run better and produce better baked goods if it is clean. During self-cleaning, the oven is heated to very high temperatures which burns off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. You can set the length of time for self-cleaning based on the amount of soil.
• Shortly after you press START, the oven door will automatically lock. The oven will keep the door locked until it has cooled down enough to open. IMPORTANT: Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain. NOTE: ▲ UPPER ON HEAVY SELF CLEAN Door Locked If you want to avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the lock-out feature on your oven. Press the CANCEL/SECURE key for 5 seconds.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven (Continued) IMPORTANT: Removing your oven’s filter(s): • Meat Probe Put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up. Do not immerse the meat probe in water. It will become damaged. • Filter: located at back of oven The meat probe is constructed of vinyl handles, a wire, a plug, and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water.
Optional Cookie Sheets • Clean aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of detergent and warm water. Since aluminum can scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food from sticking. Replacing the Light Bulbs NOTE: • If the lights do not work, before replacing them, please consult the Problem Solution Guide on page 28.
Problem Solving Unnecessary service calls may be expensive, frustrating, and time-consuming. Before you call for service, please review the Problem Solution Guide below. NOTE: See Solutions to Common Baking Problems on page 13 for problems with cooking food.
