Tips
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and
vegetables.
1. Prepare the food as
recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying
racks (not included with the
oven; contact a local store
handling speciality cooking
utensils).
3. Set the appropriate "low"
temperature and turn the
selector to TruConvec™.
Convection Defrost
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to OFF.*
3. Turn the selector to TruConvec™.
*IMPORTANT
Do not turn on the temperature control. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.

WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION
FOR YOUR SAFETY
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food
to remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your oven
must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven. Cleaning
instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven features a Self-
Clean cycle for the oven interior. See the Self-Clean Cycle section in
Cleaning & Maintenance for complete instructions.
NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS,
CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly
onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job.
NOTE:
It is not recommended that stainless steel cleaner be used on any surface
that contains graphics, such as the control panel area. For these areas
containing graphics, it is recommended to only use hot, soapy water for
cleaning. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If
necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon
spatula or scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
tool to scrape stainless steel. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to
remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor
stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
