Timed Cooking
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain
time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off
automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
If there is a pause of 20 seconds between any of the following
steps, the function will automatically begin with the current
settings.
To Set a Cook Time:
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the desired cook function.
2. Turn the SET knob to the desired temperature.
3. Press the ENTER button twice. The DURATION indicator will
flash and “-0:00” will show on the display.
4. Turn the SET knob to set the length of time to cook.
5. Press the ENTER button again to view the stop time.
To set a different stop time, turn the SET knob.
6. Press the ENTER button. Proceed to next section for
Browning function, or Timed Cooking will automatically begin
in 20 seconds.

Convection Bake, and Convection Roast):
After completing the Cook Time setting steps above, the
browning light will blink. Turn the SET knob to “brn1,” “brn2,” or
“brn3.” (Select “brn0” to cancel browning function.) Press the
ENTER button, and the browning light will glow (if selected).
Proceed to next section, or timed Cooking will automatically
begin in 20 seconds.

the Keep Warm light will glow (if selected).

RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
■
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
■
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
■
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
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.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
