Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be time defrosted in the package, but foods should be taken out of the package when using Defrost By Food Type. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
• Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Defrost By Time. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
• When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Microwave Sensor Cooking

The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion- it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use Cook By Time for additional cooking time.

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers-they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
• Beverages are best heated uncovered.

Covered

Vented

Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead the sensor.

To Use All Sensor Programs
Upper Oven microwave mode features sensor cooking. It automatically senses when food is done and shuts it self off-eliminating the need to program cook times and power levels.

1. Press the Microwave pad and turn the selector dial to Cook By Food Type or Reheat. Press the selector dial to enter.
2. Turn the selector dial to select the food you want. Press the selector dial to enter.
3. Press the selector dial or press the Start/Pause pad to start cooking.

Do not open the oven door until time is counting down in the display or the microwave stop cooking. If the door is opened, close it and press Start/Pause immediately. If the food is not done enough, use Cook By Time in the microwave selector to cook for more time.

NOTE: Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion-it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food.

• If you have been speed cooking and the oven is already hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. Of course, you can always continue with Cook By Time.

NOTE: If the oven is too hot then it will automatically change to time cooking.

• To shorten or lengthen the cook time, wait until the time countdown shows in the display. Then turn the selector dial to add or subtract time.
• If you open the door while Sensor Cooking, Sensor Error will appear. Close the door, press Start/Pause to begin again.

Notes about the Reheat program:

Reheated foods may have wide variations in temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.
It is best to use Cook By Time and not Reheat for these foods:

• Bread products
• Food that must be reheated uncovered.
• Foods that need to be stirred or turned.
• Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating.

Lower Oven

Cooking Modes

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.

Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the type and quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.

Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, turn the selector dial to set the oven temperature and press to enter, then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo. For best performance center food below the broil heating element.

Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad, turn the selector dial to Hi and press to enter, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad, turn the selector dial to Lo and press to enter, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread dough. Press the Options pad, turn the selector dial to select Proof and press to select, then press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for double wall ovens, proof cannot be run when running a clean mode in the lower oven.

Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3 hours. To use this mode, press the Options pad, turn the selector dial to select Warm and press to select, or press the Warm pad, then press Start. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.

Sabbath Mode

Your new oven conforms to the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements with the Sabbath mode cooking feature. Below describes the detail of Sabbath mode feature.

To Enter Sabbath Mode
Press the lower oven Options pad and turn the selector dial to Sabbath and press to select. The display will show “During Sabbath Mode the upper oven is unavailable”. Press the selector dial to continue. Any upper oven features running will exit, and the lower oven will immediately transition into Sabbath mode.

To Change Temperature
Once in Sabbath mode, in order to change oven temperature or start a bake feature, the user can change temperature to one of 10 pre-set temperatures as indicated below:

Changing to one of the above temperatures requires the user to press the keypad associated with the desired temperature and then press the Start/Pause pad. For example, to set a Bake 350°F, the user will press the Bake pad on the lower oven and then press Start/Pause pad.
The Bake feature will start (or if already running, the oven temperature will change) at a random time between 30-60 seconds after the Start/Pause pad is pressed, with the exception of pressing the Clear/Off pad, which will immediately cancel the cooking settings. (The unit will remain in Sabbath mode). Change of temperature may be executed at any time in the cooking cycle.

To Turn Oven Off
Press Clear/Off pad or Back and then Start pads at any time. The oven will immediately turn off but will stay in Sabbath mode and return to the standby Sabbath display screen.

To Exit Sabbath Mode
Press and hold the Back pad for 3 seconds.The oven will shut down at a random time between 30-60 seconds after the Back pad is pressed and held.

NOTE: Do not press any other pads during this time, or the Sabbath mode will be re-initialized and will not exit. The oven will exit Sabbath mode and return to its default screen.

Timed Cook Feature In Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode is not capable of running a timed cook feature on its own. If there is a desire to run aTimed Cook, the following steps must be followed:

1. Use the Settings pad to set your Beeper Volume toMute.
2. Use the Light pad to set your lower oven Light to On.
3. Use Bake to program a temperature. After programming a temperature select a cook time and enter your cook time. Press Start to start the oven.
4. Once the oven is started, do NOT open the door until the oven has finished preheating and reached a steady state temperature. Doing so prior to preheating completing will result in the air distribution fan de-energizing immediately upon door opening.
5. Once the food has been placed in the oven, do not open the door until cooking has completed. Doing so will result in the display on the screen changing to prompt you to close your door.
6. Do NOT open the upper oven door.Doing so will turn the light on immediately.
7. Do not press any additional buttons on the lower oven controls once started or the display will change immediately upon the button press.

NOTES

• During Sabbath mode only lower oven Bake is available. Broil, Warm, or other functions are not available.
• When in Sabbath mode, the 12-hour auto shut off is disabled regardless of the setting selected in theSettings.
• Sabbath mode can be entered only if no cooking mode is running in the lower oven. Entering theSabbath Mode will cancel all functions in the lower and upper oven (including timer and reminder).
• When any buttons are pressed in Sabbath Mode, there are no beeps or tones, no changes to lights or change in the display. Also, when the door is opened or closed in Sabbath Mode, there are no beeps or tones, no changes to lights or change in the display.
• If a power outage occurs during Sabbath mode baking, the unit will return to Sabbath Mode when power comes back, but will not return in the baking mode.

Cooking Guide

*When baking four cake layers at a time, use racks 2 and 4. Place the pans as shown so that one pan is not directly above another.

Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.

When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air to flow.

Flat Racks

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump(stop position) on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.

Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION: Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25° F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.

These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning The Oven

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.

Helpful Hints

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Also we recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Control Panel
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel-they will damage the finish.

Oven Exterior

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, read the Assistance and Accessories section at the beginning of this manual.

How To Clean The Upper Oven Interior

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth; then rinse with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven.

Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Door Seal
It's important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, non abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Removable Turntable

Turntable
Do not use the oven without the turntable in place.

The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle.

The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water. Dry completely and replace.

To replace the turntable, place its center over the spindle in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place. (Make sure the smooth side of the turntable is facing up and that its center seats securely on the spindle).

Cooking Trays And Baking Sheet

To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water orin the dishwasher.

Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad maybe used to clean the trays.

Clear glass tray for microwaving

How To Clean The Lower Oven Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.

Removal position

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. Starting on the left side, with the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot. Repeat for right side.
