BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Types of oven racks The oven vent is located under the control panel (Figure 1). When the oven is operational, warm air will pass through this vent for proper air circulation and provide good baking results in the oven. Steam or moisture may appear near the vent, this is normal. Do not block this vent. Your appliance may be equipped with any one or more of the following rack types.
Before Setting Oven Controls 7 Installing Oven (Ladder) Rack Supports Luxury Glide™ oven racks IMPORTANT! Always install oven rack support before turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).

Setting Oven Controls Adjusting Tone Volume Timer A tone will sound when a key is pressed and also at the end of a cycle (timer, cook time, or end time). The factory audio setting is preset to the highest level (Figure 11). The volume may be adjusted for lower levels from 1 through 5, or can be turned off. The timer can help timed cooking or food preparation times without interfering with any active cooking process.
Setting Oven Controls 13 Cook Options The cook options key will illuminate whenever a basic cooking mode is selected. To determine which options are available (conv. convert, rapid preheat, probe, cook duration, and bread proof) when a basic cooking mode is selected, press the cook options key first to see which options are available, then choose the desired option.
Setting Oven Controls Bake Use bake to cook most food items that require normal cooking temperatures. Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
Setting Oven Controls 15 Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan and three elements to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously (Figure 16) throughout the oven. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food types, but the overall result will be time saved. The convection bake feature should only be used when your recipe instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Convert To set convection convert for 30 minutes at 375°F (191°C): The convection convert feature allows you to convert any normal baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. Convection convert must be used with convection bake. Convection convert may be set with cook time or end time instructions. 1. Press conv bake. 2. Enter 375 using numeric keys. 3.
Setting Oven Controls 17 Cook Duration Setting Cook Duration with End Time The cook duration feature is used when a recipe calls for a specific temperature and cook duration. The maximum cook duration setting is 11 hours, 59 minutes. Cook duration instructions may be set with bake, convection bake, convection roast, slow cook, warm oven, rapid preheat, and my favorite. Adding a cook duration with a specific end time allows the user to control exactly when the cooking process will begin and end.
Setting Oven Controls Broil For optimum browning results, allow the oven to preheat for 2 minutes. To avoid burning food, watch the food carefully when broiling and turn meat when needed. Use the recommended pans and oven rack positions for the type and amount of meat being prepared. Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke.
Setting Oven Controls 19 Convection Broil Convection Roast Use convection broil for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. Convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices by using the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. Convection roast combines a cooking cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast (cont’d) When cooking meats using convection roast, it is recommended to use the broiler pan and insert with the roasting rack (some models). The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.The roasting rack fits on top of the insert allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside. To properly arrange food for roasting: 1.
Setting Oven Controls 21 Meat Probe Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The probe will not work properly until correctly connected (Figure 23).
Setting Oven Controls Setting the Probe Recommended Internal Temperatures for Probe See the example below to set the probe target temperature to 180°F (82°C) when using the convection roast feature with oven set temperature for 325°F (162°C). Food type Internal Temp Beef, veal, lamb-roasts, steaks and chops The default internal temperature when setting the probe is 170°F (76°C). 1. Insert the probe into the food and place food in the oven. 2.
Setting Oven Controls 23 Setting Defrost Setting Dehydrate Only frozen foods that can be defrosted and served without cooking should be used with this feature. Use the defrost feature to thaw small portions of delicate items such as cream cakes, frozen cream pies and cheesecake at room temperature. While in the defrost mode, the convection fan will operate to circulate room temperature air around the food, accelerating the natural defrosting of the food without using heat.
Setting Oven Controls Setting Bread Proof Slow Cook The bread proof feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products. The slow cook feature is used to cook foods slowly using lower temperatures. This feature is ideal when roasting beef, pork or poultry.
Setting Oven Controls 25 Warm Oven Warm Oven Temperature Selection Use the warm oven feature to keep hot foods warm. Warm oven may be set with the following options: See the recommended settings chart below for warm oven. If a particular food is not listed, use the default temperature of 170°F. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.
