Oven Bottom

The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.

Tip: Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

NOTICE: Do not place broil pan on the oven bottom to catch spills. Doing so will damage the oven bottom porcelain.

WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Oven Cavity Features

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located along the top and bottom of the unit. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent since it is important for air circulation.

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs based on the oven temperature. Warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vents while the fan operates. The fan may also operate after the oven is off.

Convection Fan

The convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened.

Oven Light

When you open the appliance door, the oven light turns on. If the door remains open for longer than 20 minutes, the lighting switches off again. To turn the light back on, touch the LIGHT button.

Control Panel

You can set your appliance's various functions on the control panel using the full touch color display. The full touch color display shows you the current settings. If you have purchased a triple oven model, which includes a warming drawer, the control panel of your oven will appear slightly different.

Where the LOCK button currently appears will be changed to DRAWER. This is the button used to operate the warming drawer from the control panel. The LOCK function is now turned on and off using the TIMERS button.

If you have purchased a combination oven model that includes a microwave oven, please consult the Use and Care Guide included with the microwave oven and make sure you read and understand all Important Safety Notes that are included.

General Tips-Conventional Oven

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.

One Rack Baking

For best results when baking layer cakes on one rack, use Bake Mode. Place the cakes on rack 4 in the oven as shown below.

2 Cakes, Rack Level 4

Multiple Rack Baking for Cakes

When baking four layer cakes at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. For best results use Bake mode. Place the cakes on racks 3 and 5, staggering the cakes in the oven as shown below.

4 Cakes, Rack Placement 3 and 5

For best results when baking cookies on multiple racks, use True Convection mode. Place cookies on racks 3 and 6.

Aluminum Foil

WARNING: 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

  • Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
  • Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, True Convection, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, and Warm modes.
  • Preheat is not required for Speed Convection, Roast, Convection Roast, Proof, and Dehydrate modes.
  • Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
  • Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
  • Once oven is preheated, open the oven door and place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
  • Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.

Preheat Reminders

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.

  • Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and Speed Convection mode.
  • Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.
  • Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

  • Use the cooking recommendation charts which can be found in the Cooking Charts Use and Care Guide.
  • Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
  • Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
  • Use the timer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

  • Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25° F when using this type of dish. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
  • Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
  • Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
  • Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
  • Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door.
  • Do not keep the empty broil pan in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. Store the broil pan outside the oven.

Condensation

It is normal for 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.

Before First Use

Before you can use your new appliance, you must enter certain settings. You must also clean the oven cavity and accessories.

Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

  • Appliance must be properly installed by a qualified technician before use.
  • Remove all packing materials from inside and outside the oven.

Rotisserie

Rotisseries uses heat radiated from the upper element. Food is slowly turned on a skewer in the center of the oven. This allows food to receive equal heat on all sides. The Rotisserie mode is best suited for cooking large pieces of meat (for example a whole chicken, turkey or a large roast). This mode helps seal in flavor and juices while allowing the meat to be cooked without the addition of fats or liquids.

  • The maximum weight allowed for the rotisserie is 12 lb (6 kg).
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
  • Allowable oven temperature is 175 - 550°F (80 - 290°C).

Note: For double ovens, only one oven cavity will be enabled for Rotisserie mode.

Assembling the Rotisserie:

1. Insert the rotisserie rack half way into the oven on rack position 5.

2. Slide the left fork into the skewer and tighten the screw.

3. Slide meat or poultry for roasting onto the skewer and tighten the screw.

4. Slide the right fork onto the skewer and tighten the screw.

5. Check the balance of the food on the skewer by rolling the skewer in the palms of your hands. Food that is not evenly balanced on the skewer will not cook evenly

6. Place the rotisserie skewer onto the rack

7. Place the skewer rack into the oven and insert the drive shaft into the opening on the back oven wall.

8. If necessary, turn the rotisserie skewer slightly so that the drive shaft fits properly into the opening.

9. Insert flat rack on position 1 and insert broil pan to catch drippings.

Trussing Poultry for the Rotisserie

1. Slip one of the forks on the skewer with the tines pointing to the tip of the skewer. Loosely tighten the screw to keep it from slipping.

2. Insert the skewer through the poultry securing with the fork.

3. Cut 24" (61 cm) of kitchen string and lay it under the poultry, breast side up, with equal lengths of string on each side.

4. Wrap each end of the string around each of the wings; catch each wing tip as the string is brought tightly together at the top and knotted. Do not cut off the extra string.

5. Cut another 24" (61 cm) of string and lay it under the back. Wrap it around the tail and then around the skewer. Cinch tightly

6. Pull legs forward; cross them on top of the skewer, bring string around and tie a knot.

7. Connect the string holding the legs to the string holding the wings; then knot. Add the other fork and push tines into the drumsticks to secure.

8. Check the balance by rolling the skewer in your palms. Poultry should not rotate or be loose in any way. If so, redo the trussing. The poultry will not cook evenly if it is not balanced on the skewer.

Notes

  • Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
  • Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
  • Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight color variation. This is normal and does not affect operation.

Surfaces in the Oven Cavity

The oven cavity bottom is enameled and has a smooth surface.

Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.

Cleaning Enamel Surfaces

Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and soapy water. If there are heavy food deposits use a soapfilled pad.

Note: Food residues can leave a white coating behind. These are harmless and do not affect performance. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Keeping the Appliance Clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove food and food spills immediately so that stubborn deposits do not build up.

  • Clean the oven cavity after each use. This will ensure that food and food spills cannot be baked on.
  • Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
  • Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.
  • For cakes or pies that may spill over, place on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place on wire rack.

Easy Clean

The Easy Clean function makes it easier to clean the oven floor. Food and food spills are soaked beforehand by vaporizing the vinegar solution. It can then be removed more easily.
