MANUALLY OPERATED OVEN COOKING:
To Regular Bake or Convection Bake/Roast
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 140°F/60°C to 550°F/288°C.
Preheating the oven is recommended when baking, but is not necessary when roasting or cooking
casseroles. Follow the recommendations in the recipe.
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Push the
BAKE pad
or
CONV BAKE/ROAST pad.
"_ _ _ °" and the word "BAKE" or "CONV BAKE"
will glow in the display.
3. Push the
UP
( )
or
DOWN
( )
ARROW pad
until desired baking temperature appears in the display.
When setting the baking temperature, the temperature will start at 325°F/163°C and increase or
decrease in increments of 5°F/2.5°C.
After 3 seconds the oven will begin to preheat. The display will show the words "ON", "PRE" and either
"BAKE" or CONV. BAKE/ROAST". The temperature shown will be 140°F/60°C or the actual oven
temperature, whichever is higher.
During preheating, the display will show a rise in 5°F/2.5°C increments until the programmed
temperature is reached. When the oven is preheated, the oven control will beep, and turn the "ON"
and "PRE" indicators words will go off. Only the word "BAKE" or "CONV BAKE" and the programmed
oven temperature is displayed. The word "ON" will appear again in the display whenever the bake
element is heating.
Note:
Preheating will take approximately 5 to 9 minutes. The word "PRE" will not appear if the actual
oven temperature is within 100°F/50°C of the set temperature. There will be no beep if the "PRE"
indicator word was not shown.
4. When cooking is finished, push the
CANCEL pad
to turn off oven.
To recall the set temperature during preheat,
push the appropriate
BAKE pad
or
CONV BAKE/
ROAST pad
. Temperature will show briefly, then display window will automatically return to ongoing
program.
To change the baking temperature after baking has begun
, repeat steps 2 & 3 above.
To cancel the baking function or turn off the oven at the end of baking
, push the
CANCEL pad
.
BAKING OR ROASTING
-BASIC INSTRUCTIONS-
1. Position oven racks.
2. Push
BAKE pad
or
CONV BAKE/
ROAST pad
.
3. Push
Up
( )
or
DOWN
( )
ARROW pad
until desired
temperature is set.
Note:
If more than 10 seconds
elapse between pushing a pad and
pushing the
UP
( )
or
DOWN
( )
ARROW pad
, the oven is not set
and the display window will show
the previous display.
DO NOT
line the
oven walls, bottom, racks or any
other part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
Setting Oven Controls for
Concurrent Use
If one oven (upper or lower) is first
set for CONV. BAKE/ROAST, BAKE ,
BROIL or BAKE TIME, the second
oven may be used in any mode
except
CLEAN
.
If one oven (upper or lower) is first
set to CLEAN, the second oven
cannot be used.
CONVECTION COOKING AND BAKING:
The convection option is an additional feature to the regular oven cooking methods of baking and
broiling. Instructions for using the convection option are included in this the instructions for setting
the oven controls.
Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is circulated by a fan
at the rear of the oven cavity. This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly,, providing
even heat distribution for faster and more even cooking, baking and browning. The heated air
penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The convection fan
automatically turns off when the oven door is opened and resumes when the door is closed again.
However, the heating element will stay on.
The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature from 140°F/60°C
to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is recommended when using convection, but
is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. Follow the recommendations in the recipe.
In several cases, depending on the texture and consistency of the food, the temperature normally used in conventional cooking should be
reduced by 25°F/12°C for convection cooking. Your oven will automatically control the temperature 25°F/12°C lower than the set temperature
when convection mode is selected. For example, when the oven temperature is set at 350°F/177°C, actual oven temperature will controlled
at 325°F/163°C if the convection mode has been selected.
