Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food
in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food
on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven
rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, sh, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings.
Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture, and yielding
crustier breads.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and
convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan
circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and
convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard
thermal oven. Use the following chart as a guide.
Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines
Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,
possible shortened cooking time
Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30%
Convection Broil Shortened cooking time
Convect Options
Convect Bake: multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads,
casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
Convect Roast: whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts,
beef roasts
Convect Broil: thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
sh, or poultry
Proong Bread
Proong bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be
used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the rst and second
rise.
To Proof:
Before rst proong, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on
rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C),
“Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than
120°F (49°C).
1. Press PROOF.
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proong time
may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press CANCEL when nished proong.
Before second proong, shape the dough, place it in baking
pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control
steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the
display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below
120°F (49°C).
Cook Time
To Set a Timed Cook:
1. Press BAKE or BROIL, or press CONVECT until the desired
convection mode appears on the display.
2. Press the number keypads to enter a temperature other than
the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light
up.
4. Press the number keypads to enter the length of time to cook.
5. Press the Start keypad. The display will count down the time.
When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically.
6. Press the Cancel keypad to clear the display.
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook:
1. Press BAKE or BROIL, or press CONVECT until the desired
convection mode appears on the display.
2. Press the number keypads to enter a temperature other than
the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light
up. Press number keypads to enter the length of time to cook.
4. Press DELAY START.
5. Press the number keypads to enter the number of hours and/
or minutes you want to delay the start time.
6. Press the Start keypad.
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically
turn on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed
anytime after pressing START by repeating steps 2 through
7. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off
automatically.
7. Press the Cancel keypad to clear the display.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
