SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection Bake (lower oven only) 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. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection CONVERT (lower oven only) Setting Convection Roast (lower oven only) 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 Delay Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting BAKE TIME Setting DELAY START Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically.

The Pizza pad let you choose a preset between a frozen pizza (425°F) and a fresh pizza (400°F). If needed, a different target temperature than the presets can be entered. Some fresh pizza request using a broil feature for a few minutes, but this is not part of the Pizza pad presets. Pizza Tips: • Follow the instructions on the box for preheating and • • baking times.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS SETTING KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The KEEP WARM pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C).

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Adjusting Oven Temperature The temperature in the oven has been pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven light Changing oven light Each oven is equipped with an oven light. The oven light will turn on automatically, when the oven door is opened. The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light pad located on the control panel. The oven light key will toggle the lights at full intensity. To toggle the Oven Lights ON and OFF: 1. Press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN to select oven. 2. Press OVEN LIGHT .
SELF-CLEANING SELF-CLEANING What to Expect during Cleaning A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
SELF-CLEANING SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
Care & Cleaning (Cleaning Chart) Cleaning various parts of your appliance Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is COOL. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later. Surfaces How to Clean Aluminum (trim pieces) & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Care & Cleaning Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame.
