Probe
The probe measures the internal temperature of the food. The probe is available for Bake, Roast and all convection cooking modes except Convection Broil.
Remove Safety Cap before Using Probe
Some models include a temperature probe used to sense internal tempererature of meats during cooking.
The probe ships with a black plastic safety cap over the pointed metal end of the probe. The cap must be removed prior to use.

Inserting the probe:
Insert the tip of the probe in the middle and thickest part of the meat or breast for poultry. Make sure the probe is not touching fat, bone, or parts of the oven or the pan.
Note: Food must be completely thawed before inserting the probe into the meat.
To use the probe:
Note: The minimum probe temperature that can be set is 100° F (40° C) and the maximum is 200° F (100° C). If the probe temperature entered is outside this range, an error is displayed.

5. The probe current temperature and target temperature are both displayed in the format “105 / 180” at the lower right corner of the display. The actual temperature will display < 80 until the food temperature reaches 80³ F. The displayed probe temperature is updated in increments of 5° during the cooking process.

6. When the probe temperature reaches the set temperature, the cooking mode turns off. The current time is displayed and the message “COOKING COMPLETE” blinks at the bottom left of the display. An alarm tone sounds every 10 seconds for 2 minutes.

This screen remains in the display until it is cleared by pressing the Oven Clear/Off touchpad or until the probe is removed. The display then goes back to stand by mode.
Note:
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode enables those of particular faiths to use their ovens on the Sabbath.
The Sabbath mode can be entered in a Bake mode only. The bake temperature must be within the Sabbath mode temperature range of 100° to 450° F.
If the oven light is on during setup, it remains on throughout the Sabbath mode operation. If the oven light is off during setup, it remains off throughout the Sabbath mode operation.
To set the Sabbath Mode:
No kitchen timers or oven timers may be running when Sabbath mode is entered.
1. Begin a Bake operation. While Bake is running, press and hold the Oven Timer touchpad for five seconds. If a timer is running when Sabbath mode attempts to start, the display blinks the message: “SABBATH NOT AVAILABLE”.

If no timers are running, the Sabbath mode settings appear in the display. The Sabbath Mode timer blinks showing the value can be edited. The default value is 74:00 (the maximum number of hours for which Sabbath Mode can be set.)

2. Press Enter to accept the default 74:00 hours and start Sabbath Mode. Or use the numeric keypad to enter the desired Sabbath mode timer value. Timer values between 0:01 and 74:00 can be entered. Note: If no changes are made within 10 seconds, Sabbath Mode auto starts.
3. Once Sabbath mode has begun, the display changes to show the message “SABBATH ON”.

4. After the Sabbath mode countdown reaches zero, the oven displays the current time and the message “SABBATH”. No changes can be made at this point. To end the Sabbath Mode and return to normal function, press the Oven Clear/Off touchpad.

Note:
To edit the Sabbath Temperature:
While editing the temperature in Sabbath mode, there is no feedback from the control. If an invalid temperature is set, the oven will default back to the previous running temperature.
The oven will adjust its set temperature after a randomized delay
Panel Lock
Allows the user to disable all buttons on the control panel. Panel Lock can only be enabled in stand by mode
Settings
The oven setup menu is used to customize certain oven settings.
The oven must be in Stand by mode (no cooking mode or timer running) in order to access the setup menu.
To make changes to Settings Menu Items:
For the temperature offset, with the item in edit mode, press “-” or “+” first, then the numeric offset value.
The new value is automatically accepted as the display reverts from edit mode back to display mode.
To exit the Settings menu:
Press the Clear On/Off touchpad.
Oven Temperature Offset
The oven is calibrated to provide accurate results. This feature is useful if you prefer your foods lighter or darker. When an offset temperature is selected, the actual oven temperature is raised or lowered by this value.
The oven must be turned off in order to set an offset value. Refer to “Temperature Offset” in “Settings Menu Options” for setting.
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.
Rack Position

Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top. Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.
The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
Preheat Reminders
Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
Baking Pans and Dishes
Opening the Oven Door
High Altitude Baking
Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.
Temperature Range by Cooking Mode
Temperatures shown are in Fahrenheit.

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
Tips

Auto Convection Conversion
Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.
The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the “Settings Menu Options” on page 20 for details.
Convection Multi-Rack

Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
The benefits of Multi-Rack include:
Tips
Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
Roast

Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.
Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender cuts of meat.
Tips:
Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
Tips:
Broil

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed. The benefits of broiling include:
Tips:
Convection Broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.
The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.
Tips:
Proof

In Proof, the oven uses the lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.
Warm

In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.
CAUTION
Self Clean
During self-clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
NOTICE: Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
