About Your Oven

Above you will find an illustration of an oven showing the components of the oven.

Cooling Fan

The oven has a cooling fan to cool the control panel. You may hear this fan continue to run after cooking and/or cleaning has been completed. The fan will run as long as the oven is hot and the oven’s function selector is turned to any position other than “Off”.
This is normal operation.

Rack Positions

The oven has rack guides at six levels as shown in the illustration.

Each level guide consists of paired supports formed in the sidewalls on each side of the oven cavity. The rack should be positioned within the paired supports.

Always be sure to position the oven racks, etc. before turning the oven on.

Make sure that the rack(s) are level once they are in position.

Baking Elements

The oven uses two elements for baking: one located at the top of the oven and the second located below the floor of the oven cavity to provide ease in cleaning the oven cavity.

Grilling Element

The grilling element of the oven is located at the top of the oven cavity.

Do not touch the heating element or let oven gloves touch the grilling element.

Never use a towel or bulky cloth for an oven glove; they could catch on fire.

Convection Element

The convection elements (not visible) and fans are located at the back of the oven cavity.

This element and fan combination performs the cooking when in the convection bake mode. When in any of the convection modes the fan is on, see Figure 1.

About Convection Ovens

In a conventional oven, the heat sources cycle on and off to maintain an average temperature in the oven cavity.

As the temperature gradually rises and falls, gentle air currents are produced within the oven. This natural convection tends to be inefficient because the currents are irregular and slow. In this convection system, the heat is “conveyed” by a fan that provides continuous circulation of the hot air.

This European Convection system provides state-of-the-art engineering and advanced design to create the finest convection oven. In standard convection ovens, a fan simply circulates the hot air around the food. The system is characterized by the combination of an additional heating element located around the convection fan and the venting panel that distributes heated air in three dimensions: along the sides, the top and the full depth of the oven cavity. This European Convection system aids in maintaining a more even oven temperature throughout the oven cavity.

The circulating air aids in speeding up the baking process and cooks the food more evenly. By controlling the movement of heated air, convection cooking produces evenly browned foods that are crispy on the outside yet moist inside. Convection cooking works best for breads and pastries as well as meats and poultry. Air-leavened foods like angel food cakes, soufflés and cream puffs rise higher than in a conventional oven. Meats stay juicy and tender while the outside is flavorful and crisp.

By using European Convection, foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and cooking times can be shorter.

When using this mode, the standard oven temperature should be lowered by 25°F (15°C). Foods requiring less cooking time should be checked slightly earlier than normal. For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation. When using the Convection Roast mode, the standard oven temperature does not need to be reduced.

The Control Panels

The user interface has the following features: display, preheat light indicators, keys for commands, cooking mode and temperature selectors.

General Oven Information

Before using your oven for the first time remove all packing and foreign materials from the oven(s). Any material of this sort left inside may melt or burn when the appliance is used.

Flashing Symbols or Numbers
Signals an incomplete action that is in progress (locking the door, preheat, etc.) or an incomplete setting that calls for another input.

Beeps
Signals that more information must be entered or confirms the receipt of an entry. Beeps also signal the end of a function or an oven fault.

Locking the door
It’s displayed steadily when the door is locked. The symbol flashes when the latch is moving in order to lock or unlock the door. Do not attempt to open the door at this time. Door can be opened when the symbol no longer appears. “AUTO LOCK” appears when the door has been locked automatically due to self-clean mode. “USER LOCK” is displayed when the door has been locked manually by the user, for example to prevent children from having free access to the oven cavity. Hold both the [INC] and [DEC] keys for 3 seconds. The latch will lock the door. Repeat the same operation to unlock.

Locking the keyboard
Hold both the keys indicated by “KEYBD. LOCK” legend for 3 seconds. Commands are now locked and “SENS LOCK” will be displayed every time you touch any keys. Repeat the same operation for 3 seconds to unlock the keyboard.

Power Failure
After the power returns to the oven, the clock displays the time 12.00AM .

Default Settings
The cooking modes automatically select a suitable temperature when the selector is in the preset position. These can be changed when a different one is needed. It’s also possible to set a user option in order to save the last used temperature per every cooking mode.

F Failure Number Codes
These codes are displayed when the electronic control detects a problem in the oven or in the electronics.

Convection Fan
The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is operating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan always runs during the preheat time.

Component Cooling Fan
Activates during any cooking or self-cleaning mode to cool inner components and outer door surfaces. This air is exhausted through the vent located above the oven door. It continues to run until components have cooled sufficiently. The cooling fan speed is high in self-clean and whenever the internal components temperature becomes high.

Preheat and Boost
Whenever a cooking mode is set and the oven is heating, the “PREHEAT” writing appears in the temperature display: the vertical bar indicates, in four steps, when the oven reaches the 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of the set-point temperature. As soon as the 100% is reached, the control sounds an “end of preheat” tone and the “PREHEAT” writing disappears.
When it’s necessary to heat up the oven rapidly, a Boost mode is available: it uses the heating elements and the convection fan in a special way, in order to reduce the heating time as long as possible.
After having set one of the cooking functions for which the fast preheat is available, touch the [BOOST] key, the “FAST” writing is shown in addition to the “PREHEAT” one.

As soon as the set-point temperature is reached, the control sounds an “end of preheat” tone and both “FAST” and “PREHEAT” writings disappear. The oven switches automatically to the desired cooking mode that was previously set: put the food inside now.

General Oven Tips

Preheating the Oven

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and Convection Roast modes.
• Use BOOST mode when a short time is necessary to preheat the oven.
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is always displayed.
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the “PREHEAT” writing will turn off.

Operational Suggestions

• Use the cooking charts as a guide.
• Do not set pans on the open oven door.
• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven door window rather than opening the door frequently.

Utensils

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25 °F (15 °C) when baking in glass.
• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type of finish on the pan will help determine the amount of browning that will occur.
• Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of utensil.
• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick / anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bake ware. Insulated baking pans may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this could change cooking performance. Store the broil pan outside of the oven.

Oven Condensation and Temperature

• 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.
• Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that allows maintaining the selected temperature accurately. Your previous oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually over time to a higher temperature. It is normal that you may need to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking in a new oven.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time will vary from the standard.

Oven Racks

• The oven has rack guides at six levels as shown in the illustration on Page 6.
• Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack guide (#1) to the top (#6).·
• Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use when cooking.
• Each level guide consists of paired supports formed in the walls on each side of the oven cavity.
• Always be sure to position the oven racks before turning on the oven. Make sure that the racks are level once they are in position.

Please refer to illustration on Page 6 if there is any question as to which side is the front of the rack.

• The racks are designed to stop when pulled forward to their limit.

CAUTION:

Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause damage to the oven liner if heat is trapped under the foil.

Make sure you do not force it to avoid damage to the enamel.

To remove oven rack from the oven:

1. Pull rack forward
   
2. Lift rack up at front and then remove it
   

To replace an oven rack:

1. Place rear of rack between rack level guides
   
2. While lifting front of rack, slide rack in all the way while lowering the front
   

Oven Extendable Racks

• The extendable rack allows for easier access to cooking foods. It extends beyond the standard flat rack bringing he food closer to the user.

CAUTION: When the rack is outside of the oven, slide arms do not lock. They could unexpectedly extend if the rack is carried incorrectly. Extending slide arms could cause injury. Rack should only be held or carried by grasping the sides.

NOTE: Always remove the extendable rack before self-cleaning the oven.

To avoid burns, pull rack all the way out and lift pan above handle when transferring food to and from oven.

To remove extendable rack from the oven:

1. Lift of rack slightly and push it until the stop release
   
2. Raise back of rack until frame and stop clear rack guide
   
3. Pull rack down and out
   

To replace an extendable rack:

1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Place rack (including frame) above desired rack guide
   
2. Push all the way in until the back of the rack drops into place
   
3. Pull both sections forward until stops activates. Rack should be straight and flat, not crooked

The maximum cavity temperature during cooking with meat probe is 475°F (290°C). The resolution must be 5°F or 2.5 °C both for set and actual temperature. After 5 seconds the value on the display is accepted and the control starts cooking. The actual probe temperature is now displayed.

​​​​​​​

Touch [INC] or [DEC] once to check the probe set temperature. When it’s flashing touch it further or hold to modify the value. As soon as the set probe temperature is reached, the control sounds an end of cooking tone and stops the oven.

Always turn the cooking mode in the OFF position before re-using the oven.

The PROBE writing flashes when the mode is not valid for cooking with probe. If the probe is removed during cooking, or in case of a short or open circuit, a fault message must be displayed.

Automatic time functions are disabled when using the meat probe, only the timer can work.

Bake Tips and Techniques ​​​​​​​

Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.

Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.

General Guidelines

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1 ½” (2,5 – 3 cm) space between utensils and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25 °F (15 °C) from recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or non-stick coatings will cook faster with more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page 31.

Bake Chart

​​​​​​​

Convection Bake Tips and Techniques ​​​​​​​

Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25 °F (15 °C).

• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specified.
• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25 °F (15 °C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50 °F (30 °C).
• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using dark metal bake ware.
• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.
• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie , or cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.
• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. All four racks can be used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.
  • 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
  • 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.
  • When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above another. For best results, place cake son front of upper rack and back of lower rack (See graphic at right). Allow 1" - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3cm).air space around pans.
• Converting your own recipe can be easy.
  Choose a recipe that will work well in convection.
• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It may take some trial and error to achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your technique for the next time you want to prepare the recipe using convection.

Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page 31.

Quick and easy recipe tips

Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION BAKE:

• Reduce the temperature by 25 °F (15 °C).
• Use the same baking time as Bake mode if under 10 to 15 minutes.
• Foods with a baking time of less than 30 minutes should be checked for doneness 5 minutes earlier than in standard bake recipes.
• If food is baked for more than 40 to 45 minutes, bake time should be reduced by 25%.

DOUBLE CONVECTION CAVITY

Convection Roast Tips and Techniques

• Preheat for Convection Roast.
• Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.
• When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
• Use the 2-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered.
• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal doneness on “END” temperature (see cooking chart).
• Double-check the internal temperature of meat/poultry by inserting meat thermometer into another position.
• When roasting a large roast or turkey, roasting pan may need to be rotated during roasting time. This will allow for more even cooking. Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan roasted) during a portion of the roasting time to prevent overbrowning.

Quick and easy recipe tips: Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION ROAST:

• Temperature does not have to be lowered.
• Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10-20% less cooking time. Check doneness early.
• Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in CONVECTION ROAST will cook in about the same amount of time.
• The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165 ºF (75 ºC).

After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil for 10 to 15 minutes before carving if necessary increase the final foodstuff temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C)

Care & Cleaning

The ovens feature a pyrolytic self-cleaning function that eliminates the difficult and time consuming manual scrubbing of the oven interior. During self-cleaning the oven uses very high temperature [approx. 470 °C (885 °F)] to burn away soil and grease. The fumes produced during this function of the oven are then filtered and expelled. You will note however, that a powder ash residue will be left on the bottom of the oven after completion of self-cleaning. Once the oven has cooled sufficiently the residue may be removed using a damp cloth or sponge. See the instructions on use of the self-clean (pyrolytic) function on page 27.

WARNING! Make sure all controls are OFF and the oven is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

For parts of the oven other than the oven cavity the following cleaning methods are recommended:

• Control Panel - Use warm soapy water or spray glass cleaner to clean the control panel. With a soft cloth or sponge wash, rinse and dry the control panel thoroughly. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads. These will damage the surface.
• Stainless Steel - To clean, use a standard cleaner designed for stainless steel. We recommend Stainless Steel Liquid Cleaner CSSL or Stainless Steel Pump Pack Cleaner CSSPP.
  Follow manufacture instructions.
  DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS SUCH AS STEEL WOOL OR ROUGH SPONGES. THEY WILL SCRATCH THE SURFACE.
• Front of Oven Door(s) and Handle(s) - Use warm, soapy water or spray glass cleaner to clean the glass door surface.
  With a soft cloth or sponge, rinse and dry the door front(s) and handle(s) thoroughly.
  DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads. These will damage the surface.
• Grill Pan and Rack(s) - Use warm soapy water.
  With a steel wool pad wash, rinse and thoroughly dry the pan and/or rack(s). DO NOT clean the grill pans or racks by leaving them in the oven when running the Self-Clean function.
• Frame Outside Door Gasket Area - Make sure oven is cool, then use warm soapy water. With a non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad, clean the frame surface outside the door gasket area. This area must be cleaned by hand because the area outside the gasket does not get hot enough to burn off the soil (see Figure 6).
• Door Outside Gasket Area - Make sure oven is cool, then use warm soapy water. With a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad clean the area outside the door gasket area. This area must be cleaned by hand because the area outside the gasket does not get hot enough to burn off the soil (see Figure 6).
• Door glass - Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Self-Cleaning Function

• Only one oven at a time can be set to SelfClean.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven.
  If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean cycle.
  The door lock symbol will appear in the display.
  This ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
• During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Clean.
  Odors will lessen with use.·
• Three hours is the preset length of cleaning.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.·
• When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Clean

1. Remove all utensils and bake ware.
2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish.
   See Care & Cleaning for proper care, see page 26.
3. Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels.
   Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.
4. Review illustration below.
   Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins.
   They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away.
   Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame and up to 1-½ “ (2-3 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water.
   Do not rub the gasket on oven. Hand clean the oven door window.
   Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in place. See Page 30.

Solving Baking Problems

With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven.

Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems.

Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.

Check the Baking Charts from page 17 to 23 for the correct rack position and baking time.

Solving Operational Problems

Before calling for service, check the following to avoid unnecessary service charges.

If You Need Assistance or Service
