All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the 
manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off  and odors on 
fi rst use of the appliance—this is normal.

Oven

Important! Before fi rst use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat to 450°F, 
and operate for an hour.

Before Using Your Range

Oven Functions and Settings

Preheat

 - For best results, it is recommended that you preheat your oven to desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven.  

Partial power from the top broil element and full power from the bake element is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature.

Proof -  

Only the light bulbs operate.  This will maintain the interior oven temperature between 90 and 105

o

F which is ideal for all types of yeast 

breads.

Bake

 - Full power heat is radiated from the element in the bottom of the oven cavity.  This function is recommended for single rack baking.  

Conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature.  Use this setting for baking, roasting, and 
casseroles.

Convection Bake

 - Full power heat is radiated from the element in the bottom of the oven cavity with the addition of a motorized fan in the 

rear of the oven.  This function provides a more even heat distribution by circulating air throughout the cavity and eliminates hot and cold spots 
found in conventional baking.  Convection baking has the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks.

TruConvec

 - Only the rear element around the motorized fan operates at full power.  There is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements.  

Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffl

  es, yeast breads, quick breads and cakes.

Defrost

 - Air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven.  There is no heat from any of the elements.  The fan accelerates natural 

defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two 
hours.

Broil

- Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct heat from the top element.  It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops 

and broiling.  Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element.

Convection Broil

 - the top element operates at full power with the additional benefi t of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the 

oven.  Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
