SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Bake To set Bake: Bake uses heat that rises from the oven bottom for best baking results. 1. A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven. 2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the desired cooking temperature. The display will show PREHEATING and the current temperature inside the oven. Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 175°F (79°C) to 550°F (288°C).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Air Fry The Air Fry feature works best for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods. It works well with most recipes and can be programmed for temperatures between 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature. Important: • Food should be arranged in single layers on a pan and place food near the front of a single rack on position 3 for best results.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Slow Cook Broil Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time. Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the heating element. For best results when using Slow Cook: • Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 29 Important notes: • Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. • For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking. • When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides. Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include: • Multiple rack baking.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Convection Roast Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. WARNING Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. • Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Steam Note: More moisture will be present than during conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on handle or in the door, and depending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the floor. Steam Cooking Tips: Oven Positioning • Use glide rack in position 3 in the oven for most steam cooking. • Lowest position for poultry. Preparing 33 To set steam bake: 1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. 2.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS No Preheat No Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be used with regular recipes also. No Preheat may be used with temperatures between 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. During No Preheat function, the oven elements will cycle on and off. The convection fan will turn on and stay on until No Preheat is canceled.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Food Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry. The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, and Steam Roast. The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set first in the oven menu.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS NOTE During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the screen. The oven temperature will be displayed at the top of the screen. To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached. If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel and the oven will turn off.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 37 Self Clean • A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which vaporizes soils or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours. Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle.
