SETTING THE CLOCK AND MINUTE TIMER

To Set the Clock

You must set the clock when the oven isfirst plugged in or each time the power supply to the appliance hasbeen disconnected or interrupted.

The clock must always be set to the correct time of day, as the automatic start and stop time operations (used to set the timed bake and

self-clean modes) work directly with the clock.

1. The display window will flash the last clock time displayed before the power was interrupted.

2. Push the CLOCK pad. The indicator word "Time" will flash and AM or PM and time digits will appear in the display.

3. Push the UP (A) or DOWN (V) ARROW pad until the correct time of day appears in the display.

NOTE: If more than 10 seconds elapse between pushing the CLOCK pad and pushing the UP (A)or DOWN (v) ARROW pad, the CLOCK
pad must be pushed again in order to set the clock.

NOTE: Three seconds after this procedure, the time of day will automatically be entered. Once the time is set, the AM or PM indicators will

not show unless the CLOCK pad ispushed. The clock time cannot be changed when the oven has been programmed for Time Bake, Timed

Convection or Self-clean. Cancel these programs before reprogramming clock.

To change the time, follow instructions 2 & 3 above.

To Set the Minute Timer

The timer does not control the oven. It serves asan extra timer in the kitchen that will beep when the set time has

run out. The timer can be used independently during any of the oven functions and can be set for any amount of

time from 5 seconds to 11 hours and 50 minutes.

1.Push TIMER ON/OFF pad. ":00" appears in the display and the word "TIMER" will flash.

2. Push the UP (A) or DOWN (v) ARROW pad until the desired number of hours, minutes and seconds appears
in the display. NOTE: If more than 10 seconds elapse between pushing the TIMER ON/OFF pad and pushing
UP (A) or DOWN (V) ARROW pad must be pushed again to set the numbers.

IMPORTANT: This isthe only function where time can be entered in min utes and seconds. When entering minutes
and seconds, minutes show to the left of colon and seconds to the right of the colon. When entering hours and

minutes, hours show to the left colon with the HR indicator word and minutes show to the right of the colon.

3. Countdown will start after 3 seconds and will show over other time functions. When the set time has run out,
the timer will beep 1 time per second for 2 minutes.

Tochange the timer while it is in use, push the TIM ERON/OFF pad, then push the UP (&) or DOWN (T) ARROW

pad to increase or decrease the time.

CONVECTION COOKING AND BAKING:

The convection option is an additional feature to the regular oven cooking methods of baking and
broiling. Instructions for using the convection option are included in this the instructions for setting

the oven controls.

Convection cooking isa method of cooking inwhich the heated air of the oven iscirculated by a fan
at the rear of the oven cavity. This fan is covered by a baffle to circulate the air uniformly,, providing

even heat distribution for faster and more even cooking, baking and browning. The heated air
penetrates food from every angle, sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The convection fan
automatically turns off when the oven door isopened and resumes when the door isclosed again.

However, the heating element will stay on.

Air circulation during convection

cooking.

In several cases, depending on the texture and consistency of the food, the temperature normally used in conventional cooking should be
reduced by25°F/12°C for convection cooking. Your oven will automatically control the temperature 25°F/12°C lower than the set temperature

when convection mode is selected. For example, when the oven temperature isset at 350°F/177°C, actual oven temperature will controlled
at 325°F/163°C if the convection mode has been selected.

MANUALLY OPERATED OVEN COOKING:

The oven can be programmed to bake inthe convection mode at any temperature from 140°F/60°C
to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes isrecommended when using convection, but
is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. Follow the recommendations in the recipe.

To Regular Bake or Convection Bake/Roast

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 140°F/60°C to 550°F/288°C.
Preheating the oven is recommended when baking, but is not necessary when roasting or cooking

casseroles. Follow the recommendations in the recipe.

1.Arrange oven racks while the oven isstill cool.

2. Pushthe BAKEpador CONVBAKE/ROASTpad. "__ °" and the word "BAKE" or "CONV BAKE"
will glow in the display.

3. Pushthe UP (A)or DOWN (v) ARROWpad until desired baking temperature appears in the display.
When setting the baking temperature, the temperature will start at 325°F/163°C and increase or

decrease in increments of 5°F/2.5°C.

After 3seconds the oven will begin to preheat. The displaywill showthe words "ON", "PRE" and either

"BAKE" or CONV. BAKE/ROAST". The temperature shown will be 140°F/60°C or the actual oven

temperature, whichever is higher.

During preheating, the display will show a rise in 5°F/2.5°C increments until the programmed
temperature is reached. When the oven is preheated, the oven control will beep, and turn the "ON"
and "PRE" indicators words will go off. Only the word "BAKE" or "CONV BAKE" and the programmed

oven temperature is displayed. The word "ON" will appear again in the display whenever the bake
element is heating.

Note: Preheating will take approximately 5to 9 minutes. The word "PRE" will not appear if the actual
oven temperature iswithin 100°F/50°C of the set temperature. There will be no beep if the "PRE"

indicator word was not shown.

4.When cooking isfinished, push the CANCEL padto turn off oven.

To recall the set temperature during preheat, push the appropriate BAKE pad or CONV BAKE/

ROASTpad. Temperature will show briefly, then display window will automatically return to ongoing

program.

To change the baking temperature after baking has begun, repeat steps 2 & 3 above.

Tocancel the baking function or turn off the oven at the end of baking, push the CANCEL pad.

BAKING OR ROASTING

-BASIC INSTRUCTIONS-

1. Position oven racks.

2. Push BAKE pad or CONV BAKE/

ROAST pad.

3. Push Up (A) or DOWN (V)
ARROW pad until desired

temperature is set.

Note: If more than 10 seconds
elapse between pushing a pad and

pushing the UP (&) or DOWN (v)

ARROW pad, the oven is not set
and the display window will show

the previous display.

_ DO NOT line the
oven walls, bottom, racks or any

other part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing sowill destroy

heat distribution, produce poor
baking resultsand causepermanent

damage to the oven interior

(aluminum foil will melt to the

interior surface of the oven).

Setting Oven Controls for

Concurrent Use

If one oven (upper or lower) is first

set for CONV. BAKE/ROAST,BAKE,

BROIL or BAKE TIME, the second

oven may be used in any mode
except CLEAN.

If one oven (upper or lower) is first
set to CLEAN, the second oven
cannot be used.
