Using the Oven Using the Oven Preheat To Set the Automatic Probe Function For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the oven during preheat mode is not recommended.
Using the Oven Using the Oven Rack Positions Conventional and Convection Cooking Each oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks and one TruGlide™ rack. With the TruGlide™ rack, the bottom section remains in the oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled. This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain a lot of juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the five rack positions.
Using the Oven Condensation Pan Placement Tips The oven is supplied with a system which provides a natural circulation of air. In most cases, this natural circulation will eliminate any observed condensation. However, there will be instances where condensation is observed. This is NOT a sign that the oven is not working properly. • When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
Baking Baking BAKE (Two-Element Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element. This function is recommended for single-rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking/ roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

Roasting Roasting CONV ROAST (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside large roasts. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc. Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking” section for additional information.
Roasting Roasting Roasting Tips (cont.) Convection Roast Instructions After preparing the meat and placing on broiler pan, follow these steps for proper probe placement. Use this function when roasting tender cuts of meat or poultry of any size. • Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.
Roasting Roasting Auto Roast Instructions Use this function further simplifies roasting by automatically searing the outside of meats, raising the pre-set temperature by 100°F for a short time to sear the outside of the meat.

Broiling Broiling Tips Broiling Instructions • ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire. • To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. • Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray. • Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn.
Broiling Broiling Convection Broil Instructions To Use Convection Broil: 1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning the broiler on. 2. Place the food in the center of the cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your oven, and then place the broiler pan in the oven. 3. Select “UPPER OVEN” or “LOWER OVEN.” 4. Set the Oven Function Selector to “CONV. BROIL.” Display will show “CONV BROIL H” and “ON” will flash. Medium and low displays will show “CONV BROIL M” and “CONV BROIL L.” 5.
Warming Modes Convection Dehydrate This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and vegetables. With this function, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates warm air. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehydration does not improve quality; only fresh, top-quality foods should be dehydrated in your oven.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly. Broiler Pan and Grid Oven Surfaces Oven Racks Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven. Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below and continued on page 40. Your oven features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior.
Self-Clean Cycle Self-Clean Cycle This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting.
