The time remaining will always be shown in the timer section of the display. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Slow Cook, Keep Warm, Defrost, Bread Proof, Dehydrate and Perfect Turkey cooking modes. It can also be part of a Multi-Stage sequence.
Cooking Modes BROILING This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The temperature probe cannot be used with this mode. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. Broiling Tips: • For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
Cooking Modes CONVECTION BAKING This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Cooking Modes CONVECTION CONVERT The Convection Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features End Time and Cook Time (see their sections for directions).
Cooking Modes 29 CONVECTION ROASTING This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. The Convection Roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The temperature probe can be used in this cooking mode.
Cooking Modes CONVECTION BROILING Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The Convection Broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The temperature probe cannot be used in this cooking mode. The oven can be programmed for Convection Broiling at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Cooking Modes KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The Keep Warm feature uses the hidden bake element to maintain the temperature within the oven. The Keep Warm feature may be used with Multi-Stage (refer to its section for directions) if you wish to have the Keep Warm feature turn ON automatically when cooking has finished. The oven can be programmed for Keep Warm at any temperature between 150°F to 190°F with a default temperature of 170°F.
Cooking Modes SLOW COOK This mode may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provide cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal. The Slow Cook mode uses the hidden bake element to maintain a low temperature in the oven. The temperature probe cannot be used in this cooking mode.
Cooking Modes DEHYDRATING This mode dries foods with heat from the bake and the convection element. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, meats, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven can be programmed for Dehydrating at any temperature between 100°F to 225°F with a default temperature of 120°F.
Cooking Modes BREAD PROOFING Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. This feature is ideal for proofing, or rising bread dough. The oven can be programmed for Bread Proofing at any temperature between 85°F to 100°F with a default temperature of 100°F. The temperature visual display is not available for this function. Bread Proofing Tips: • • • • • No need to preheat for this feature. Proof bread until dough has doubled in bulk.
Cooking Modes PERFECT TURKEY This mode uses the temperature probe to control precisely the cooking of a perfect turkey. The convection system gently browns the turkey’s exterior and seals in the juices. The temperature probe is required with this cooking mode (read its section on next page for more details). The oven can be programmed for Perfect Turkey at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 325°F. The probe default temperature for the perfect turkey feature is 180°F.
Cooking Modes TEMPERATURE PROBE For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature you desire without having to guess. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast and Perfect Turkey cooking modes. The oven can be programmed for Probe at any temperature between 130°F to 210°F with a default temperature of 170°F.
