Getting Started Warnings & Safety Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance. ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage • Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. • Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. • Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. • Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Getting Started Warnings & Safety Important Safety Notice and Warning The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
CAUTION WARNING BURN HAZARD BURN HAZARD When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual. Therefore, children should be kept away. The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the glass! CAUTION WARNING You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to ensure that it does not catch fire.
Before Using Oven Oven Product Controls Important! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to “BAKE”, the thermostat to 350°F, and operate for an hour. All models include: • A broad range of baking and broiling modes—up to eleven cooking modes in all—to make even your most challenging baking projects a success. • A two-speed convection fan—this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly—even when baking large quantities.

Clocks and Timers Setting the Min/Sec Timer The MIN/SEC TIMER is designed for accurate timing and is ideal for baking delicate items such as biscuits, cookies, and popovers, and for precise broiling. The MIN/SEC TIMER can be used at the same time the BAKE TIME or START TIME functions are in use. It can be used for timing up to 24 hours. When setting the timer, the time displayed will increase in 1 minute increments.
Clocks and Timers To Set The Automatic Time Bake Program: (cont.) 3. Set the Oven Function selector to the desired function – BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE, or TRUCONVEC™, etc. 4. Set the temperature control knob to the desired baking temperature. Product Controls 5. The Automatic Time Bake program is now set. Note: The display will continue to show the amount of bake time that was programmed (this will remain until the programmed start time is reached).
Functions and Settings These functions allow you to customize the oven controls to suit your specific tastes. The following oven settings are available: Degree Format The oven has been preset to the Fahrenheit temperature scale. With this feature, users can switch to the Celsius temperature scale. Clock Format This feature allows users to choose a 12-hour or 24-hour format for the clock display.
Using the Oven Preheat For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the oven during preheat mode is not recommended.
Using the Oven Conventional and Convection Cooking Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. This is perfectly normal.
Using the Oven Condensation The oven is supplied with a system which provides a natural circulation of air. In most cases, this natural circulation will eliminate any observed condensation. However, there will be instances where condensation is observed. This is NOT a sign that the oven is not working properly.
Using the Oven BAKE (Two-Element Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element. This function is recommended for single-rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking/ roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

Solving Baking Problems Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.
Roasting CONV ROAST (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside large roasts. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc. Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking” section for additional information. Roasting Tips ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid when roasting.

Broiling CONV BROIL (Convection Broil) The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats. HI BROIL Heat radiates from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at full power.

Broiling Broiling Tips • ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire. • To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. • Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray. • Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn.
Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly. Oven Surfaces Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven. Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior. See “Self-Clean Cycle” for complete instructions.
Self-Clean Cycle This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting.
Replacing Oven Lights WARNING WARNING DO NOT touch bulb with bare hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a soft cloth. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb. Halogen Lights 1. Unsnap glass light cover using a screwdriver in the access groove. 2. Firmly grasp light bulb and pull out. 3. Replace with halogen bulb using volt and wattage requirements listed on glass cover. 4.
