This multi-function oven combines the functions of traditional oven modes with
the functions of modern, fan-assisted convection modes in a single oven. Use
the Cooking Mode control, located on the control panel, to select the oven mode.
IMPORTANT: During any cycle, the heating elements will turn off when the
oven door is opened, and stay off until the door is closed. To maintain oven
temperature, limit door openings during cooking.
BEFORE USING THE OVEN
1. Close the oven door.
2. Press Bake.
3. Press 500°F (260°C) on the number keypad.
4. Press Start.
NOTE: Allow the oven to operate for 30 minutes with the door closed
and no food in the cavity.
5. Turn off the oven, and then open the oven door to allow the oven to cool.
NOTE: Any odor that may be detected during this initial use is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.
GENERAL
IMPORTANT: Do not place anything, including dishes, foil and oven trays, on
the bottom of the oven when it is in operation to avoid damaging the enamel.

MEAT THERMOMETER
Use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not
appearance, should be used to determine doneness.
Insert the meat thermometer probe (provided) into the socket on the left-hand
side of the oven liner.

PREHEATING
When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection Roast cycle, the oven
will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12
to 15minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with
your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to
preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual
oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost
when you open the oven door to place the food on the rack. This ensures that
cooking will begin at the proper temperature. Do not open the door while the
oven is preheating. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, a tone
will sound. You can then open the door and place food in the oven.
OVEN MODES
BAKE
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the
oven are used to heat the air, but the fan is used only during preheating.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time
and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and
the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 500°F (260°C).
General Guidelines
•
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 4 cm)
space between bakeware and oven walls.
•
Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
•
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
•
Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass,
glass ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
•
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C)
from recommended temperature.
