WarnInG:
Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed
cooking modes. to avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food,
take the following steps:
1. avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking
cycle to begin. typical foods to avoid include those containing
eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and cooked or
uncooked meats, poultry and fish.
2. If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or
frozen food into the oven. most unfrozen foods should never
stand in the oven for more than two hours before cooking
begins.
3. Do not allow foods to remain in the oven more than one hour
after completion of the cooking cycle. When the temperature
drops below 140˚F, bacteria can develop.

settings in “Pure convection™” mode.
Follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost foods:

. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. (For dehydrating,
prepare food as recommended then place food onto a drying rack.)
3. Press the “PuRe cONvectiON™” pad.
4. Set the temperature to 135˚F. This is the minimum temperature that
can be set. (For dehydrating, a higher temperature setting may be
required. Follow the recommended temperature for the type of food
being prepared.)

Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods,
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish. Broiling
in the oven is completed with the oven door completely shut.
it is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give
the food a broiled flavor. the broil temperature may be adjusted in
5˚F increments from 135˚F up to the maximum setting of “HI”. The
“HI” setting is equivalent to 555˚F.
Follow these steps to operate the oven in standard Broil (all
models) or Convection Broil (rsD and rse models) modes:
1. close the door tightly.
. Press the “BROil” or “cONvectiON BROil” pad.
3. Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+” or “–” pad and the default temperature
setting “HI” will be displayed. “HI” is equivalent to 555˚F.
4. if a temperature other than “Hi” is desired, press the “tiMe•teMP”
“–” pad to reduce the temperature. six seconds after setting the
temperature, the “ON” indicator will light up in the clock display, the
broiler element will begin heating. the convection fan will turn on
when in “cONvectiON BROil” mode.
5. it is recommended that the user set the Minute timer(s) to time the
broiling process.
6. when the Minute timer expires and/or the food is cooked, press the
“caNcel•secuRe” touch pad to turn off the oven. the cooling fan
will continue to run for 30 to 45 minutes depending upon the length
and temperature of the broiling process.

to use Delay timed Cooking, follow these steps:
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).
. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack(s).
3. select the desired cooking mode and temperature.
4. Press the “cOOk tiMe” pad and “tiMe” will appear in the clock
display. Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+” pad to set the length of time
that the food will be cooked. the “cOOk tiMe” can be set from 5
minutes to 11 hours, 50 minutes.
5. the oven can be set to start now or later in the day. to start cooking
now, do not perform any more programming steps. after six seconds
“PRe”, “ON” and “tiMed” will appear in the clock display, and the
oven will begin heating.
6. to start cooking at a later time, and finish at the desired time, then
press the “stOP tiMe” touch pad, and “stOP” will appear in the
clock display. Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+” pad to enter the time
of day that you wish the oven to shut off. “delaY” will now be
displayed. the oven will calculate the correct “staRt tiMe.”
7. after the “cOOk tiMe” has expired, the clock will beep three times,
and “Hold” will be displayed. if cooking in a convection mode,
the convection fan will also turn off at this time. while in “Hold”
mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150˚F for a
period of two hours. “Hold” mode can be cancelled by pressing the
“caNcel•secuRe” touch pad. the cooling fan will continue to run
depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.
DelaY tImeD CooKInG tIPs:
1. do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay timed
cooking. these foods will not rise properly.
. Remember that “cOOk tiMe” refers to the length of the cooking
cycle. it does not refer to the start time!
3. the time required to preheat the oven must be included in the
“cOOk tiMe.” thus, the “cOOk tiMe” should be increased by
about 8 to 1 minutes depending upon the temperature setting. the
broiler top element does not come on to preheat in the delay Mode,
so you will not pre-maturely brown foods.
