Getting Started

Before using your oven, become familiar with
the features and control panel layout.

Below the oven mode touch pads are three
touch pads labeled "CANCEL.SECURE,"

"LIGHT" and "COOK TIME". The
"CANCEL.SECURE" touch pad enables the

user to cancel the selection of an oven mode
or Delay Timed program, or disable the control

panel by pressing and holding the pad for
approximately three (3) seconds. Once the

control panel is in the "SECURE" mode, "OFF"
will be displayed on the clock. The "LIGHT"
touch pad turns the interior oven light "on"

and "off." The "LIGHT" touch pad will remain
functional if the control panel has been disabled.

The "COOK TIME" touch pad is used to select
the length of time for a cooking process in Delay
Timed cooking mode.

Clock functions are selected by pressing the
touch pads located below the clock display

and oven mode touch pads. Oven functions
are chosen by pressing the touch pad for the
desired mode. Once a clock or oven function

has been chosen, a description of the selection
will flash in the clock display area.

IMPORTANT:

After choosing a clock function or oven
mode, you have six seconds to perform the

next programming step. If the next step is
not complete within six (6) seconds, the
program selection displayed on the clock

will disappear. Should this occur, just repeat
the initial function selection.

IIWhat is Pure ConvectionTM? I

Your new oven has the best cooking system
available today, "Pure Convection TM''.Pure
Convection TM is a total system approach to

cooking. The heat source is a third element
outside the cooking celI behind a "baffle." Not

only does the baffle separate the food from
the heat source, it channels the air from the
"Convection Fan" evenly into the ceil eliminating

any hot or cool spots in the oven. This system is
what allows multi-rack cooking while achieving

even results from one rack to another.

The other component in Pure Convection TM is
the "Filter." The filter eliminates the transference

of flavors when cooking entire meals and also
keeps the oven cleaner.

Setting the Time of Day

Follow these two steps to set the correct
time of day:

1. Press the "CLOCK" touch pad. The time
of day will flash, "AM" or "PM" will be

displayed, and "TIME" will flash in the
display.

2. Press the touch pad "+" or "-" until the
correct time of day is displayed and

release.

Oven Modes

All oven modes are described below:

_ TANDARD BAKE - In Standard Bake

mode, the bottom heating element

i

provides conventional radiant heat.
Temperatures may be set from 135° to
555°F in 5°F increments. Use Standard

Bake for single rack baking and roasting.
STANDARD BROIL - The high wattage,

top heating element supplies the heat
in Broil mode. The broil temperature is

adjustable from !35°F, to the "H!" setting
(equivalent to 555°F) for greater cooking

flexibility. Broiling is performed with the
door closed.

CONVECTION BROIL - The high
wattage, top heating element supplies

the heat in Broil mode in combination
with the convection fan for better heat

distribution. The broil temperature is
adjustable from !35°F to the "HI" setting

(equivalent to 555°F) for greater cooking
flexibility. Only available in ECD 230,

PCD 230, and MCD230 models. Broiling
is performed with the door closed.

[_ URE CONVECTION TM - In Pure

Convection TM mode a third heating
element, encircling the convection fan

located in the rear of the oven chamber,
acts as the heat source. The convection

fan draws air from the oven chamber,
then forces it across the hot convection

heating element. The heated air is
directed back into the oven chamber

through the convection baffle. The baffle
distributes the heated air evenly to

ensure uniform results. Temperatures
may be set from 135° to 555°F in 5°F

increments. Use this mode for single rack
baking, multiple rack baking, roasting,

and preparation of complete meals.

_ CONVECTION BAKE - In this

combination convection-radiant mode,
the lower element provides the heat.
As in Pure Convection TM mode, the

convection fan and baffle combine to
circulate heated air evenly throughout the

oven chamber. Temperatures may be set
from 135°F to 555°F in 5°F increments.

Use this mode for single rack baking,
multiple rack baking and roasting.

_ TEMPERATURE PROBE - The

Temperature Probe can be use in
combination with Standard Bake, Pure

Convection TM, or Convection Bake
modes. The Temperature Probe takes
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking
food to the exact internal temperature

you desire. The temperature range that
the Probe will read is from 100°F to

200°F.

_ SELF-CLEAN - In the pyrolytic

Self-Clean mode, the oven reaches
temperatures of 850°F, thereby burning
off oven soil automatically. The Self-

Clean time is adjustable up to four hours
so that varying degrees of oven soil can

be successfully removed. Also, the Self-
Clean cycle can be delayed to start at a

later time if desired.

IIOven Racks and Supports

Three chrome-plated convection racks are

provided in the oven. Always remember to
position the racks prior to heating the oven.

Also, remove the oven racks prior to self-
cleaning to prevent permanent discoloration of

the racks.

I

The porcelain rack supports provide six heights
for positioning of the oven racks.

To install a rack, align the left and right edges
of the rack with the horizontal guide rails of the

rack supports, then slide the rack into the oven.
