Oven Mode Selection
Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard
bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:
Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).
1.
Press the
2.
baKe
,
pure ConveCtIon
or
ConveCtIon
baKe
key. the oven will beep once, the selected cooking
mode will flash, and
“– – –”
will be displayed.
Press either the
3.
“+”
or
“–”
key. the default temperature of
350˚F will be displayed.
To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and
4.
hold the
TIME • TEMP
key. (Press
“+”
key to increase the
temperature setting, “–” to decrease).
“pre”
and
“on”
will
appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat.
the convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oven
temperature during pre-heat. in standard bake mode, the
convection fan will turn off once the desired temperature
is attained. if in a convection mode, the convection fan will
turn on. also, the clock display will change from the desired
cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting
with 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚F
increments until the desired temperature is reached. the
cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches
200˚F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heat
cycle is complete. the clock will beep once and
“pre”
and
“on”
will disappear from the display. (From this time forward,
the
“on”
display will cycle on and off with the heating
elements.)
Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the
5.
pre-heated oven.
it is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the
6.
cooking process (see page 11).
when the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press
7.
the
CANCEL • SECURE
key to turn off the oven.
pre-heating the oven
the oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly
brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing
a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven will
automatically perform the pre-heat function. the pre-heat cycle
operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake
modes. there is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broil
modes.
note:
For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during
•
pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior to
placing food inside.

standard baKe
– in standard bake mode, the bottom
heating element provides conventional radiant heat.
Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F
increments. use standard bake for single rack baking and
roasting.
standard broIl
– the high wattage, top heating
element supplies the heat in Broil mode. the broil
temperature is adjustable from 135˚F, to the “HI” setting
(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling
is always performed with the door closed.
ConveCtIon broIl
– the high wattage, top heating
element supplies the heat in broil mode in combination with
the convection fan for better heat distribution. the broil
temperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the “HI” setting
(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. This
mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and
MCD230. Convection broil is always performed with the
door closed.
pure ConveCtIon
™
– in Pure Convection mode a third
heating element, encircling the convection fan located in
the rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source.
the convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then
forces it across the hot convection heating element. the
heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through
the convection baffle. the baffle distributes the heated air
evenly to ensure uniform results. temperatures may be
set from 135
˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode
for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and
preparation of complete meals.
ConveCtIon baKe
– in this combination convection-
radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. as
in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle
combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven
chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F
in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking,
multiple rack baking and roasting.
temperature probe
– the temperature probe can be
used in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection,
or convection bake modes. the temperature probe takes
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact
internal temperature you desire. the temperature range
that the probe will read is from 100˚F to 200˚F.
self-Clean
– in the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven
reaches temperatures of 850˚F, thereby burning off oven
soil automatically. the self-clean time is adjustable up to
four hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can be
successfully removed. also, the self-clean cycle can be
delayed to start at a later time if desired.
