Setting No Preheat

Use the No Preheat feature when you want to start baking immediately, without the need for preheating. No Preheat provides good results when preparing convenience foods such as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries, and tater tots. Food will finish cooking in the time stated in the package directions without the extra time required for preheating.

During No Preheat the convection fan will pulse on and off, and the bake element will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature for precise baking.

Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function for best results.

No Preheat is designed for baking on a single rack placed in the center of the oven and may be set for any temperature from 200°F to 550°F.

No Preheat tips for best results:

• Always place the food in the center of the oven on rack position 3 (Figure 8). No Preheat is designed for baking on a single oven rack.
• When using No Preheat, use bakeware with low or no sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Food that comes in strips, such as fish sticks and chicken tenders, should be placed on the pan with the ends pointing to the sides of the oven.
• Follow the package directions for food preparation time and temperature. No Preheat works best when cooking foods longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a shorter cooking time, a few extra minutes may be required for optimal cooking results.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake time.

To set No Preheat:

1. Remove food from packaging and arrange on baking pan.

2. Place pan in oven on rack position 3 and close oven door.

3. Turn the oven mode selector to No Preheat.

4. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired temperature. Baking will begin immediately.

5. To stop baking turn the oven mode selector and oven temperature selector to the OFF positions.

Setting Bake

Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the oven is fully preheated. During Bake, the convection fan may pulse on and off to help maintain optimum baking temperatures.

Important: For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection function for best results.

Baking tips

For best bake results:

• Leave the oven light off while baking.
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.
• When using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 9. Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place Glide rack in position 4 with the flat rack in position 1. (See Figure 10).
• For cookies on multiple racks place sheets on rack position 3 using the flat rack, and 5 with the glide rack.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.
• Many factors can affect baking results. See “Solutions to Common Problems” on page 31 of this owner’s manual.

To set a bake for 350°F:

1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The PREHEAT and the oven temperature light will turn on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin heating.
5. When the set temperature is reached the PREHEAT light will turn off and a reminder chime will sound alerting you to place food in oven.
6. Set either timer to keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.
7. When finished baking, be sure to return both the temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF positions.

Setting Convection Convert

Convection convert automatically converts a standard baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert may only be used with convection bake.This feature must be set before selecting the oven mode and oven temperature by using the user preference setting in the oven display.

Because convection baking generally cooks food faster than normal baking, food items should be checked for doneness before the suggested normal recipe cook times.

To set convection convert:

1. The oven temperature selector must be in the OFF position.

2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONV BAKE.

3. Press and hold both the oven light key and the clock key for about 3 seconds until Aut° (automatic convection convert) appears in the display.

Figure 13: Convection convert off (L) and on (R)

4. Press either the – or + key until On appears.

5. Turn the oven mode selector to the OFF position. The oven will accept the convection convert setting with an acceptance chime and the control will return to display the time of day. The convection bake function will now automatically convert normal baking temperatures for convection baking.

To change back to regular convection baking, repeat the same steps in this process and press the + or - key until OFF appears. Once the control accepts the change with a chime, turn the oven mode selector to OFF.

Setting Convection Roast

Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake element, convection element, broil element, and fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven.

Convection roasting tips:

• Use a broiler pan and grid, as well as a roasting rack (available by mail order). The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan and place on rack position 1 (offset rack).

To set oven for convection roasting:

1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.

2. Turn oven mode selector to CONV ROAST.

3. Turn oven temperature selector to desired roasting temperature.

4. Once the control accepts the setting, the convection fan turns on and the oven will heat to the set temperature.

5. To cancel convection roast at any time, turn both the temperature control and the oven mode control to the OFF position.

Note: Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a reminder for checking food.

Using the Broil Feature

Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place the food further away from the broil element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning. Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. The door must be closed for broil to operate. If the door is left open the display will show "d-O". Close the door for the function to resume. When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

To set broil:

1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool. Turn the mode selector knob to BROIL. The indicator light will flash.

2. Turn the temperature selector knob to BROIL. The indicator light will turn on and remain lit. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.

3. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element.

4. Broil with the oven door closed. Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

5. Turn the temperature and the selector knobs to OFF when broiling is complete or to cancel broil.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.

NOTE Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).

Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

Important: Before making a temperature adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control knobs are in the OFF position.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds until the display sounds an acceptance chime. AUd should appear in the display.

2. Press the + key in the upper part of the display until UPO appears and the default setting of 0° (or the last offset temperature) is showing.

Figure 20: UPO shown at default setting

3. Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (offset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.

Figure 21: UPO shown 10° higher than default

If a lower temperature offset is desired, press the – key in the bottom of the display until the desired lower temperature appears.

Figure 22: UPO shown 10° lower than default

4. Release the key and the control will accept the change.

5. To return the display to normal, press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time until an acceptance chime sounds. The display will return to show the time of day.

NOTE Changing the UPO will not affect the broil or self clean temperatures.

Restoring Factory Control Settings

Your appliance was set with standard oven control settings. Over time these may have been changed. Restoring the control to factory (default) settings will affect the following:

• Continuous bake or 6 hour energy saving
• Silent or audible control
• Oven temperature adjustments

To restore oven control to default settings:

1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds until the display sounds an acceptance chime. AUd should appear in the display.

2. Press the + key in the upper part of the display until rSt appears and yes or no appears in the lower part of the display.

3. Press the + or - key to toggle between yes (to reset to default) or no (to leave current settings as they are).

4. When the desired setting appears, the control will accept the change after a few seconds with a beep and return to the clock mode.

Self Cleaning

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

Setting Self Clean

If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and shut off automatically:

1. Turn both the oven mode and oven temperature selectors to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean) and the – and + keys.

2. If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a 2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to the desired clean time and then allow the control to accept the change.

Once the control accepts the clean time the display will flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS. The

REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few seconds prompting the user to remove all oven racks. If the oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle can begin. If the door remains open for more than 3 minutes, the clean function will be canceled.

When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds.

3. Once the door is closed the time of day will be visible along with the selected clean time and the door lock icon will be blinking in the display. Do not force the oven door open when the self clean is active. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

4. During the clean cycle the time of day remains in the display and the time remaining in the clean cycle will also be active.(Figure 29)

5. When the clean cycle ends the oven will be too hot for the door to unlock until the oven cools to a safe temperature. This may take up to an hour. During this time the display will show Hot along with the door lock icon.

6. Once the oven temperature reaches a safe level, CLn will appear in the display and the lock icon will blink to signal the end of the clean cycle with a chime. Do not force the oven door open when the lock icon is showing in the display; this can damage the automatic door locking system.

7. Move both the oven mode and temperature mode knob to the OFF position to clear the display.

Caution: To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after a self clean cycle. Stand to the side to allow any steam and heat to escape. The internal oven temperature will still be hot enough to cause burns even though the bake and broil elements appear to have cooled.

Note: Once the clean cycle ends the oven will not be available for another clean for 4 hours.

To cancel a self clean before it ends:

Turn both the oven selector knob and the oven temperature knob to the OFF position.

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for major cleaning later.

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.

To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Boiler Pan Cleaning Tips

To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.

Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.

Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Adhere to the following precautions when using spray oven cleaners:

Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the oven, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. The bulb is located in the rear of the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

Replacing the Oven Light

The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (Figure 33).

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock

Caring for your glide racks

Important: Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the glide rack may be damaged and the racks will lose their finish.

• Anytime the gliding is rough, the glide rack tracks should be treated with graphite lubrication.
• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.

2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.

3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrication along the tracks (see area circled on figure below). Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

5. Turn glide rack over. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Place four drops of graphite lubrication along the tracks. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the outer frame of the glide rack as shown below. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.

8. Replace rack in oven right side up.
