ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL

NOTE: The basic timer is externally arranged in different configuration in various appliance models. This does not change the way it operates. NOTE: Some models have a touch pad control. To activate it, you just have to touch the pad with a finger. Take care to have a good contact between the finger and the touch pad. Long nails can make the activation difficult, it is a good idea to clean the control panel after each use or as soon as possible after a spill, boil over or spatter because some ionic or salty ingredients as ketchup, tomatoes sauce, etc.., can operate the control. Before cleaning the control panel it is

recommended to turn on the control lockout feature.

Speed Bake TM Cooking System (some self-

cleaning oven models only)

Speed Bake TM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribu- tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results, italso gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing injuices and flavors. Meats cooked with Speed Bake TM Cooking System are juicer. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked ina standard oven can be cooked

Meats 15% (or 5 mins/pound) Poultry 30% (or 10 rains/pound)

Frozen Foods 20% Refrigerator Cookies

faster and more evenly with Speed Bake TM Cooking System, General Cooking instructions:

1. To convert baking times from normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with a 30% reduction in time and increase the time until desired

doneness is obtained. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food.

2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except

Benefits of Speed Bake TM Cooking System:

Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time

and energy. Two racks can be used with more even

cooking and browning.

No special pans or bakeware needed.

with items such as cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.

3. When using two racks at the same time, place them in positions 1 and 3 (from bottom) for the best results.

4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25°F (13°C) lower than the recommended setting for best results.

Broil

Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. A beep lets you know when the broil temperature is reached. Be sure you center the broiler pan directly under the broil element for best results. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. Ifthe fire

continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
