OVEN VENT LOCATION ARRANGING OVEN RACKS The oven is vented as shown. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent.

Lift up front of rack and slide out.

An ENTRY ERRORtone (3 short beeps) will sound if the entry of the temperature or time is below the minimum or above the maximum settings for the feature, ii{EATURE ....................................
SETTING ENERGY CONTINUOUS BAKE OR 6 HOUR SAVING The TIMER and SELF CLEAN pads control the Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving features. The oven control has a factory preset builbin 6 Hour Energy Saving feature that will shut off the oven if the oven control is left on for more than 6 hours. The oven can be programmed to override this feature for Continuous Baking. To set the control for Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving features 1. Press and hold TIMER for 6 seconds. 2.
SETTING MINUTE SETTING TIMER The TIM ER ON.OFF pad controls the Minute Timer feature. The Minute Timer serves as an extra timer in the kitchen that will beep when the set time has run out. It does not start or stop cooking. The Minute Timer feature can be used during any of the other oven control functions. Refer to "Minimum and Maximum Control Pad Settings" for time amount settings. To set the Minute Timer (example for 5 minutes) 1. Press TIMER ON.OFF.
SETTING QUICK P RE H EAT OR POWERPLUS Use the quick preheat feature when using single rack baking to quickly heat the oven to bake temperatures. Use this feature only for standard baking.

Arrange the interior oven racks. 2. Press QUICK OR POWERPLUS PREHEAT.
SETTING CONVECTION BAKE 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 the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
SETTING 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 Delay Start and Bake Time (see their sections for directions).
SETTING CONVECTION BROIL Use thismode forthickercutsof meat, fishand poultw. 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 oven can be programmed for Convection Broiling at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. Convection Broiling Tips: - For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
SETTING BAKE TIME Bake Time allows the oven to be set to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically. The oven will shut off and will beep when the countdown is finished. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Pizza and Chicken Nuggets cooking modes. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically (example: BAKE at 350°F for 30 minutes): 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
SETTING To set a Broil of 5gO°F: BROIL 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 BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3).
SETTING PROBE Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry. This feature also works well with other foods such as meat loaf and casseroles. For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set "target" temperature.
SETTING PROBE (continued) To set the oven to automatically stop cooking and start keep warm once reaching target temperature: 1. Press PROBE and hold for 6 seconds. 2. Press SELF CLEAN and toggle until CANCEL appears then press START to accept. To set Probe: 1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the probe receptacle while the oven is cool.
SETTING KEEP WARM This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The WARM pad turns ON the Keep Warm feature and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°E The Keep Warm feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished.
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 THE SABBATH the Jewish Sabbath & Holidays) FEATURE (for use on The BAKE TIME and DELAY START pads are used to set the Sabbath feature. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the BAKE pad. The oven temperature may be set higher or lower after setting the Sabbath feature (the oven temperature adjustment feature should be used only during Jewish Holidays), however the display will not visibly show or provide any audible tones indicating whether the change occurred correctly.
STEAM CLEAN The steam clean feature offers a chemical=free and timesaving method to assist in the routine cleaning of your oven. Steam clean may be used before manually cleaning the oven to help loosen soils on the oven bottom. Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used in the steam clean cycle. Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned offand the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
SELF-CLEANING What to Expect during Cleaning A selFcleaning 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.
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.
DOOR Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stainless steel may be used. Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or one not marked for stainless steel use as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. TOUCH CONTROL PANEL Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
CLEANING VARIOUS PARTS OF YOUR RANGE Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERSAND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULARCLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER. • Aluminum & Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. o: Painted and cloth, clean Wit h:mild dish detergent and _ater:0r a 50/50s01uti0n vinegar and Water.

A tool such as a small fiat-blade screwdriver may be required. 3.
OVEN BAKING For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance. Baking Problems and Solutions Chart PROBLEMS Cookies and biscuits put into the oven before the preheating time is completed. Oven rack overcrowded. - * Dark pan absorbs heat too fast.
