Before Using Oven Setting the Clock Oven The time-of-day must be set before any other program can be used. When your oven is first connected to the power in your home, the timer display will show --:--. 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.

Functions and Settings Functions and Settings These functions allow you to customize the oven controls to suit your specific tastes. The following oven settings are available: To enter into the Oven Settings mode: Degree Format 1. Press and hold the “MIN/SEC TIMER” button for 3 seconds. The oven has been preset to the Fahrenheit temperature scale. With this feature, users can switch to the Celsius temperature scale. 2. Use the “SET” knob to scroll between the different Oven Settings.
Using the Oven Using the Oven Preheat Rack Positions 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 Using the Oven Conventional and Convection Cooking Conventional and Convection Cooking (cont.) • Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type.
Using the Oven Using the Oven Condensation Pan Placement Tips 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. • When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
Baking Baking 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 Roasting 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 Roasting Roasting Tips (cont.) • When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1⁄2 inch (1.

Broiling Broiling CONV BROIL (Convection Broil) LOW 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.
