The two timers provided with the oven control serve as extra reminders in the kitchen. When a timer reaches less than 1 minute the display will start to count down in seconds.
Getting Started Choosing an oven Interior Luxury-Lighting™ Software controls the upper and lower ovens so that both may be set to operate at the same time with unique settings. It is very important to understand that before setting or modifying either oven, you must first select which oven you desire to set or modify. Your appliance includes “theater” style oven lighting that gradually lights both the upper and lower oven interiors to full brightness.
Setting for Best Results Upper oven racks Types of oven racks Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks Your appliance is equipped with 2 styles of interior oven racks; 1 offset oven rack and 2 fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ oven racks. For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (refer to Fig. 3-). For best results when using a offset oven rack, place cookware on rack position 3 or 4. Air circulation in the oven offset oven rack Fig.
Setting for Best Results Upper oven racks Luxury-Glide™ extendable oven rack upper rack portion Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and may cause burns. Removing and replacing the offset rack • To remove pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out (not shown).
Surface Cooking Cookware Using proper cookware Cookware material types The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire burner grate surface. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom.
Setting Surface Controls Operating Min-2-Max™ double burner Operating single burners 1. Push the desired gas surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position 1. Push right front surface control knob in and turn Fig.1. counterclockwise out of the OFF position-Fig. 1. 2. Release knob and rotate to (lite) position. Visually check that the needed burner has lit. 3. To adjust, push the knob in and turn counterclockwise to a flame size setting that best fits your need. 2.

Setting Oven Controls About broiling Setting broil Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. This cooking feature is only available in the upper oven. See example below to set broil for the upper oven starting immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting. Example The following temperature settings apply to the broil feature: Step • Auto-suggest (default) setting:550°F / 288°C • Min. broil setting: 300°F / 148°C • Max.
Setting Oven Controls Setting broil The broil pan insert (if equipped) contains slots that allows grease from the meat to drain into the broil pan.

Recommended broiling times 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 About convection bake Setting convection bake Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect³™ system. 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.
Setting Oven Controls Using convection convert Setting 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 (176°C) and adding the conv convert option.
Setting Oven Controls About convection roast Setting convection roast How convection roast works See example below to set convection roast to start immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting. Convection roast is part of the Perfect-Convect³™ system. 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.
Setting Oven Controls Roasting recommendations Roasting rack instructions When preparing meats for convection roasting, you may use the broiler pan, insert and the roasting rack supplied with your appliance. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help 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. Roasting rack Insert 1.
Setting Oven Controls About the probe function 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. • Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.
Setting Oven Controls Setting the probe See the example below to set the probe target temperature to180°F/82°C when using the convection roast feature with oven set temperature for 325°F/162°C. NOTE Example Example Step By the default, your oven will adjust to thekeep warm setting once the probe has reached the set temperature. Press 1. Insert the probe into the food and place the food into the oven -p. 28, Fig. 1-. 2.
Setting Oven Controls About keep warm Setting keep warm Use the keep warm feature to keep hot foods warm. Keep warm may be set with the following options: See example below to set keep warm for the upper oven to start immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting.

Setting Oven Controls About Perfect Turkey™ About Perfect Turkey™ Heated air circulates around the turkey from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Poultry cooked with this feature are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. See the example below to use perfect turkey at the default setting of 325°F and the probe at the default setting of 180°F (82°C). Perfect turkey combines a cook cycle with the convection fan.
Setting Oven Controls About defrost About dehydrate Use the defrost feature to thaw small portions of delicate items such as cream cakes, frozen cream pies and cheesecake at room temperature. The Defrost feature can only be used in the upper oven. While in the defrost mode, the convection fan will operate to circulate room temperature air around the food slowly, accelerating the natural defrosting of the food without using heat. The dehydrate feature dries with heat from the convection element.
Setting Oven Controls About dehydrate For best results • Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140°F. Dry herbs at 100°F. • Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. • Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
