Oven Cooking Oven vents location The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Types of oven racks Oven Vent Always use pot holders or oven mitts when adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and cause burns.
Oven Cooking Luxury GlideTM oven racks Luxury-GlideTM extendable oven rack IMPORTANT Remove ALL oven racks before starting a fresh clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the Luxury-GlideTM oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish. Clean oven racks according to the instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section. Fig.
Surface Cooking About the ceramic glass cooktop The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
Surface Cooking Cookware material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Use the warmer zone feature to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the warmer zone. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 3.
Getting Started Setting Clock at Power Up Preheat Temperature Display You will be prompted to enter the time of day in the event of a power failure or when you first provide electric power to your appliance. Once a cooking feature has been started, the control will display the actual oven temperature while preheating. Once the oven reaches the oven set temperature, only the oven set temperature will be displayed. • When your appliance is first powered up, 12:00 will flash in the display. .
Setting Oven Controls Preheat The Preheat feature will bring the oven up to the set cooking temperature. A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven. Preheating is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. The following temperature settings apply to the preheat feature: • Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/177°C • Min. preheat setting: 170°F / 77°C • Max.
Setting Oven Controls Bake Use the bake feature to cook most food items that require normal cooking temperatures. The following temperature settings apply to the bake feature: • Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/177°C • Min. bake setting: 170°F / 77°C • Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C Setting bake See example below to set a bake to start immediately using the default temperature. Example Step For best results • As much as possible, use only one rack on position 2 or 3 and center the pans.
Setting Oven Controls Cook Time Adding a cook duration when baking is beneficial when a recipe requires a specific temperature and period of time to cook. Following the recipe cook time helps insure the best possible results.
Setting Oven Controls Delay Start (with cook time) Adding a cook duration along with a specific start time gives the same benefits as the cook time option in addition to controlling exactly when the cooking process will begin and end.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. The following temperature settings apply to the conv bake feature: The Conv Bake feature is recommended when baking on multiple racks.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Convert The conv convert option allows you to convert any normal baking recipe using the convection bake feature. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. Conv convert must be used with Conv Bake feature. See the example below to set conv bake, starting immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting of 350°F (177°C) and adding the conv convert option.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast See example below to set convection roast to start immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting: Convection roast combines a cook 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. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.
Setting Oven Controls Broil Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The following temperature settings apply to the broil feature: • Auto-suggest (default) setting: 550°F / 288°C • Min. broil setting: 400°F / 204°C • Max. broil setting: 550°F / 288°C Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire.
Setting Oven Controls Broil The broil pan insert (if equipped) contains slots that allows grease from the meat to drain into the broil pan. Place prepared meat on broil pan insert and then place onto broiler pan as shown -Fig. 1-. 5 Recommended broiling times 4 Use the broiling table -Fig. 3- for approximate recommended broiling times for the types of meats listed. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness.
Setting Oven Controls Keep Warm Cakes Breads The Keep Warm feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. After 3 hours the Keep Warm feature will shut-off automatically. The Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are already at serving temperature. The Keep Warm feature will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C). The Cakes Breads functions are designed to give optimum baking performance for Cakes or Breads.
Setting Oven Controls Probe When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.
Setting Oven Controls Probe See the example below to set the probe. IMPORTANT Example Step Press 1. Prepare the food and properly insert the temperature probe into the food. DO NOT preheat or start cooking before properly inserting the meat probe. The probe should be inserted into the food and receptacle while the oven is still cool. 2. Place the prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 3.
Setting Oven Controls Slow Cook The slow cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly at lower oven temperatures. The cooking results will be like that of a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot.
