Number pads 1 through 0 represent temperatures. Use the following chart as a guide

KNOW YOUR OVEN

• Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT: This oven automatically adjusts for 208V operation without affecting cooking performance. Preheat times may be longer.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

• On models with bottom oven vents, do not block or cover the vents.
• For best cooking results, do not cover rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Rack and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. For convection cooking, allow 1" (2.5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.

Roll-Out Extension Rack

The roll-out extension rack allows easy access to position and remove food in the oven. It can be used in rack positions 1 through 4. The roll-out extension rack will not fit in position 5.

To Remove the Roll-Out Extension Rack:

Rack must be closed and engaged with sliding shelf. Using 2 hands, lift up on front edge of rack and sliding shelf together. Slowly push both to back wall of oven. The front edge of the sliding shelf should sit on the rack guide located on the sides of the oven. The front edge of the rack and the sliding shelf should be higher than the back edge.

Using 2 hands, lift up back of rack and sliding shelf so that back and front are level on rack guide. Pull out.

To Replace the Roll-Out Extension Rack:

Using 2 hands, grasp front of the closed rack and sliding shelf. Place the closed rack and sliding shelf on the rack guide.

Slowly push the rack and sliding shelf to the back of oven until the back edge of the sliding shelf drops

Pull the rack and sliding shelf slightly forward until the front edge drops and the sliding shelf is on the rack guide.

Know Your Racks

• To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack.
• Do not clean the roll-out extension rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
• See the “Care and Cleaning” section for more information.

Meat Thermometer

When not using the supplied temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry, and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer’s directions for using a meat thermometer.

Oven Vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not put plastics, paper, or other items that could melt near the oven vent.

SPECIAL MODES

Proofing Bread Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow recipe direction as a guide. To Proof:

1. Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper coated with shortening. Close door.

2. Press START.

3. Press BREAD PROOF.

NOTE: The Proof cycle will start even if the oven temperature is over 300°F (149°C). You cannot change the temperature under Bread Proofing.

Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Follow same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove plastic wrap.

Temperature Probe

The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles and should be used in determining the doneness of food. It is available on most cycles including: Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, and EasyConvect™ Conversion.

Know Your Temperature Probe

• Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.
• When using the probe, the Cook Time function may not be used

To Use Temperature Probe:

Enter desired probe temperature before selecting a cooking mode. The probe temperature is the desired temperature of the food when it is done.

Timed/Delay Cooking

Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to cook for a set length of time. Delay Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly. Timed Cooking is available on most cycles including: Bake, Convect Bake, Convect Roast, EasyConvect™ Conversion, Bread Proof, and Keep Warm. Delay Cooking is available on the Bake, Convect Bake, and Convect Roast cycles.

NOTE: For best cooking results, when the temperature probe is being used, the Cook Time function cannot be used.

STAINLESS STEEL

Use affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner or affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaning Wipes (not included). Rub in direction of grain to avoid possible damage to the steel surface.

SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN

Prepare Oven:

1. Empty out oven and remove racks.

Remove broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

IMPORTANT: Remove racks before the Self-Cleaning cycle to avoid discoloring and difficulty sliding

2. Remove any foil from oven

Foil may burn or melt, damaging the oven

3. Hand clean.

With a damp cloth, hand clean the inside door edge and 1½" (3.8 cm) of the area around the inside oven cavity frame. Be certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on doorframe.

4. Wipe out loose soil.

Wiping out soil reduces smoke and avoids damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop: Remove plastic items

Plastic items may melt.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT:

• The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.
• The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
• The oven is preset for a 5 hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed.
