How to set the clock
The kitchen timer serves as an extra timer that will beep when the set time has elapsed. It does not start or stop cooking functions. You can use the kitchen timer with any of the other oven functions.
How to set the timer
In timed cooking, the oven turns on immediately and cooks for the length of time you select. At the end of the cooking time, the oven turns off automatically.
How to set the oven for timed cooking
When the timed cooking is done, the range will beep 10 times.
CAUTION Use caution with the timed cooking or delay start features. Use these features to cook cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is completed. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.
In a delay timed cooking, the oven’s timer turns the oven on and off at times you select in advance.
How to set the oven for delay start
pad.All of the features listed in the table below have minimum and maximum time or temperature settings. A beep will sound each time a pad on the control panel is pressed and the entry is accepted. An error tone will sound in the form of a long beep if the entered temperature or time is below the minimum or above the maximum setting for the feature.

Oven rack positions

Rack and Pan placement

Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air space around it.
When baking on a single oven rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. See the figure on the left.

When baking cakes and cookies on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5. See the figure on the left.
Using Multiple Oven Racks

Before using the racks
The oven has two racks.
Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.
REMOVING THE RACKS
REPLACING THE RACKS
CAUTION
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F. Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.
How to set the temperature
NOTE For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.
How to adjust the temperature while cooking

By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly
Tips for convection baking
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will allow faster cooking times.
When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position 3 and 5.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.
How to set the oven for convection baking
Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.
DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
NOTE For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.
Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
How to set the oven for convection roasting
Roast. The default temperature is 350 °F.The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
NOTE For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.
Broil mode is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance.
Broil stop position

Leave the door open at the broil stop position. The door will stay open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
CAUTION Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a foam-type fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can explode and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury
How to set the oven for broiling
Broiling recommendation guide
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your doneness preference will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. Always preheat the oven for 5 minutes before broiling.

Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature cooks food more slowly at lower oven temperatures. The extended cooking times allow better distribution of flavors in many recipes. This feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow cooking meats may cause the exterior of meats to become dark but not burnt. This is normal.
NOTE Use only 1 rack and place the rack in position 1 or 2 for the best results. Preheating the oven is not necessary.
Bread Proof
The Bread Proof function automatically provides the optimum temperature for the bread proof process, and therefore does not have a temperature adjustment.
If you press Bread Proof when the oven temperature is above 100 °F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.
NOTE Use rack position 3 for bread proofing.
Dehydrate
Dehydrate dries food or removes moisture from food via heat circulation. After drying the food, keep it in a cool and dry place. For fruit, adding lemon (or pineapple) juice or sprinkling sugar on the fruit will help fruit retain sweetness.

NOTE
The keep warm feature will keep cooked food warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished.
After 3 hours, the feature will shut the oven off automatically. The feature may be used without any other cooking operations or may be set to activate after a timed or delay timed cooking operation.
You should not use this feature to reheat cold foods.
How to use the keep warm feature
How to set the oven to activate the keep warm mode after a timed cooking
Thermostat adjustment
The temperature in the oven has been preset at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
The oven temperature can be adjusted ±35 °F (±19 °C).
How to adjust the oven temperature
NOTE This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
Convection auto conversion feature
When you use the auto conversion feature, the convection auto conversion feature will automatically convert entered regular baking temperatures to convection baking temperatures.
If this feature is activated, the display will show the actual converted (reduced) temperature. For example, if you enter a regular recipe temperature of 350 °F and press START/SET, the display will show the converted temperature of 325 °F.
How to disable or enable the auto conversion feature
Sound on/off
By using this feature, you can set the oven controls to operate silently.
How to turn the sound on or off
Demo mode
This option is for use by retail establishments for display purposes only. (The heating element does not operate.)
How to enable or disable the demo mode
Control lockout
This feature lets you lock the buttons on the touch pad so they cannot be activated accidentally.
How to activate the control lockout feature
How to unlock the controls
This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION


NOTE Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.
How to run a self-cleaning cycle
3. When the self-cleaning cycle is done, End will appear in the display and the range will beep 6 times.
How to delay the start of self-cleaning
How to turn off the self-cleaning feature
You may find it necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to smoke in the oven.
After a self-cleaning cycle
How to set the oven for steam-cleaning
For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavierduty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.


When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.
NOTE If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100˚F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.
