General Oven Tips
Preheating the Oven
Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
Bake and Convection Roast modes.
Use Fast Preheat mode when a short
er
time
is desired
to preheat the oven.
Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
the preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat
juices.
Place oven racks in their proper position before
preheating.
During preheating, the selected cooking
temperature is always displayed.
A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and
the
“PREHEAT”
writing will turn off.
Operational Suggestions
Use the cooking charts as a guide.
Do not set pans on the open oven door.
Use the interior oven
lights to view the food through
the oven door window rather than opening the door
frequently.
Utensils
Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven
temperature 25°F (15°C) when baking in glass.
Use pans that give the desired browning. The type
of finish on the pan will help determine the amount
of browning that will occur.
Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized
pans reflect heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate
browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of
utensil.
Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting
in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick /
anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass
bake ware. Insulated baking pans may increase
the length of cooking time.
Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the
oven, as this could change cooking performance.
Store the broil pan outside of the oven.
Oven Condensation and Temperature
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to
evaporate from the food during any cooking
process. The amount depends on the moisture
content of the food. The moisture may condense
on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven,
such as the control panel.
High Altitude Baking
When cooking at high altitude, recipes and
cooking time will vary from the standard.
120/240 vs. 120/208 Volt Connection
Most oven installations will have a 120/240
voltage connection.
If your oven is installed with 120/208 voltage, the
preheat time may be slightly longer than with
120/240 voltage.
The oven is designed to assure the same clean
time at 208V.
Oven Racks
The oven has rack guides at six levels as shown in
the illustration on Page 7.
Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack
guide (#1) to the top (#6).
Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use
when cooking.
Each level guide consists of paired supports
formed in the walls on each side of the oven cavity.
Always be sure to position the oven racks before
turning on the oven. Make sure that the racks are
level once they are in position.
Please refer to illustration on Page 7 if there is any
question as to which side is the front of the rack.
The racks are designed to stop when pulled
forward to their limit.
CAUTION!
Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause damage
to the oven liner if heat is trapped under the foil.
CAUTION
Make sure you do not force it to avoid damage to
the enamel.
Your new oven has an electronic temperature
sensor
that allows maintaining an accurate
temperature. Your previous oven may have had
a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually
over time to a higher temperature. It is normal
that you may need to adjust your favorite recipes
when cooking in a new oven.
General Oven Information
Before using your oven for the first time remove all
packing and foreign materials from the oven(s). Any
material of this sort left inside may melt or burn when
the appliance is used.
Flashing Symbols or Numbers
Signals an incomplete action that is in progress (locking
the door, preheat, etc.) or an incomplete setting that
calls for another input.
Beeps
Signals that more information must be entered or
confirms the receipt of an entry. Beeps also signal the
end of a function or an oven fault.
���������
It’s displayed steadily when the door is locked. The
symbol flashes when the latch is moving in order to lock
or unlock the door. Do not attempt to open the door at
this time. Door can be opened when the symbol no
longer appears. “
AUTO LOCK
” appears when the door
has been locked automatically due to self-clean mode.
“
USER LOCK
” is displayed when the door has been
locked manually by the user, for example to prevent
children from having free access to the oven cavity.
Hold both the [INC] and [DEC] keys for 3 seconds. The
latch will lock the door. Repeat the same operation to
unlock.
Locking the keyboard
Hold both the keys indicated by “KEYBD. LOCK” legend
for 3 seconds. Commands are now locked and “SENS
LOCK” will be displayed every time you touch any keys.
Repeat the same operation for 3 seconds to unlock the
keyboard.
Power Failure
After the power returns to the oven, the clock displays
the time 12.00
AM
.
Default Settings
The cooking modes automatically select a suitable
temperature when the selector is in the preset position.
These can be changed when a different one is needed.
It’s also possible to set a user option in order to save the
last used temperature per every cooking mode.
F Failure Number Codes
These codes are displayed when the electronic control
detects a problem in the oven or in the electronics.
Convection Fan
The convection fan operates during any convection
mode. When the oven is operating in the convection
mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door
is opened. The convection fan always runs during the
preheat time.
Component Cooling Fan
Preheat and Fast Preheat
Whenever a cooking mode is set and the oven is
heating, the
“PREHEAT”
writing appears in the
temperature display: the vertical bar indicates, in four
steps, when the oven reaches the 25%, 50%, 75%,
100% of the set-point temperature.
As soon as the 100% is reached, the control sounds
an “end of preheat” tone and the
“PREHEAT”
writing
disappears.
When it’s necessary to heat up the oven rapidly, a
Fast Preheat mode is available: it uses the heating
elements and the convection fan in a special way, in
order to reduce the heating time as long as possible.
After having set one of the cooking functions for which
the fast preheat is available, touch the [FAST
PREHEAT] key, the
“FAST”
writing is shown in
addition to the
“PREHEAT”
one.
As soon as the set-point temperature is reached, the
control sounds an “end of preheat” tone and both
“FAST”
and
“PREHEAT”
writings disappear. The oven
switches automatically to the desired cooking mode
that was previously set: put the food inside now.
Activates during any cooking or self-cleaning mode
to cool inner components and outer door surfaces.
This air is exhausted through the vent located
above the oven door. It continues to run until
components have cooled sufficiently. The cooling
ffan operates at double speed (or RPM's) in self-clean
and whenever the internal components tempera-
ture becomes high.
