MOIST (30” or 36” Oven or PRIMARY Oven only on 48” or 60”)
The MOIST feature adds a small amount of water to the oven every minute when cooking, resulting in moister cooked foods. Water
is stored in a Water Reservoir behind the door and flows into an Evaporation Tray below the convection baffle inside the oven.
IMPORTANT: ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER TO FILL THE RESERVOIR. Regular tap water will cause a
buildup of minerals in the orifice of the moist system and may cause clogging.
NOTE: The Moist feature will not function unless a cooking mode is active and Pre-Heat is complete.
WARNING: Moist mode should only be used with temperature settings over 250° F. Lower temperatures will
not evaporate the water and water will accumulate in the evaporation tray.
NOTE: The Moist feature will NOT function in SELF CLEAN or BROIL.
IMPORTANT: Open the door as few times as possible during MOIST cooking. Frequent opening of the door will
allow the moisture and heat to escape the oven and will prevent the mode from being effective.
IMPORTANT: Prior to turning the oven on, make sure the Evaporation Tray is installed in the back of the oven.
To use the MOIST feature, first add distilled water to the water reservoir.
o The Moist Water Reservoir is located at the right rear of the range top. The cover of the Moist Reservoir is
attached to the reservoir by a stainless steel chain and can be removed by lifting by the chain or by lifting from
the inner lip of the Reservoir tube.
o The Reservoir can be filled by removing the cover and pouring distilled water into the opening or it can be lifted
and removed, filled, and replaced. The reservoir has a small white valve at the bottom which prevents spilling
when the reservoir is not secured in its slot.
o After filling, replace the reservoir in its slot and make sure it is firmly seated by pressing down slightly. If the
reservoir is not properly seated it will not release water into the oven.
Set the desired cooking mode and temperature and allow the oven to Pre Heat. If selected prior to completion of Preheat
the MOIST feature will not begin to function until the PRE HEAT cycle is complete.
Press the MOIST button to start moist cooking. When activated, the MOIST button will be illuminated and water will be
added to the evaporation tray every minute after Pre-Heat
o Only use the MOIST feature with oven settings above 250° F. If the oven temperature is too low the water will
not evaporate and may drip onto the oven bottom.
The MOIST mode will automatically turn Off when the cooking mode is cancelled or can be manually turned Off at any
time by pressing the MOIST button. When turned Off, the MOIST button light will turn Off.
CLEANING THE EVAPORATION TRAY
o CAUTION! Only clean the Evaporation Tray when the oven is cool!
o The Evaporation Tray is inside the oven located directly below the convection baffle. Lift the Evaporation Tray
up and remove from the oven.
o Use a damp cloth to and mild non-abrasive detergent to wipe out the interior of the container prior to use. Food
particles and grease from cooking may fall into the container and get trapped.
o IMPORTANT! Always remove the evaporation tray from the oven prior to self cleaning. The tray is
manufactured of high quality stainless steel and will discolor if left in the oven during self clean.
