• Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals, vapors, or
nonfood products in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat or cook. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. The use of corrosive chemicals
in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance.

• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, DROP
AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

WARNING

• In the event of a grease fire SMOTHER FLAMES with a
close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn
off the gas burner.

• BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.

• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on
grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.

• ALWAYS have a working SMOKE DETECTOR near the
kitchen.

• LEAVE THE HOOD VENTILATOR ON when flambéing
food.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven vent
nor around the base or beneath the lower front panel of
the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces as they may become hot while the oven is in
operation. This range requires fresh air for proper burner
combustion.

• NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
or cover an entire rack with aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.

• NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning.

To reduce the risk of burn injuries during cooktop
use, observe the following:

• Children or pets should not be left alone or unattended in an
area where appliances are in use.

• Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.

• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.

• When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.

• Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

• Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers may ignite.
A spill on a burner can smother all or part of the flame or
hinder spark ignition. If a boilover occurs, turn off burner
and check operation. If burner is operating normally, turn it
back on.

• During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.

• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents
do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push
the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

and foreign materials from the oven. Any material of this sort
left inside may melt or burn when the appliance is used.

Flashing Symbols or Numbers

Signals an incomplete action that is in progress (locking the
door, preheat, etc.) or an incomplete setting expecting further
input.

Beeps

Signals that more information must be entered or confirms the
receipt of an entry. Beeps also alert the user to the end of a
function or an oven fault.

Door lock

It’s displayed continuously when the door is locked. The symbol
flashes when the latch is moving in order to lock or unlock the
door. Do not attempt to open the door at this time. Door can be
opened when the symbol no longer appears. “AUTO LOCK”
appears when the door has been locked automatically due to
self-clean mode.
“USER LOCK” is displayed when the door has been locked
manually by the user, for example to prevent children from
having free access to the oven cavity.

When the oven is operating in the convection mode, the
fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The
convection fan always runs during the preheat time.

Preheat and Fast Preheat

Whenever a cooking mode is set and the oven is heating,
the “PREHEAT” writing appears in the temperature display: the
vertical bar indicates, in four steps, when the oven reaches
the 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% thresholds of the set-point
temperature.
As soon as 100% is reached, the control beeps an “end of
preheat” tone and the “PREHEAT” text disappears.
When it’s necessary to heat up the oven rapidly, a Fast
Preheat mode is available: it uses the heating elements and the
convection fan in a special way, in order to reduce the heating
time as long as possible.

10

7 - General Oven Tips

EN

Preheating the Oven

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and
Convection Roast modes.

• Use Fast Preheat mode when a shorter time is desired to
preheat the oven.

• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat
time.

• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.

• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.

• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.

• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is
always displayed.

• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the
“PREHEAT” text will turn off.

Operational Suggestions

• Use the cooking charts included in this manual as a guide.

• Do not set pans on the open oven door.

• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven
door window rather than opening the door frequently.

Utensils

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature
25°F (15°C) when baking in glass.

• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type of finish
on the pan will help determine the amount of browning that
will occur.

• Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect
heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of utensil.

• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick / anodized or
dark, dull metal utensils or glass bake ware. Insulated baking
pans may increase the length of cooking time.

• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this
could change cooking performance. Store the broil pan
outside of the oven.

120/240 vs. 120/208 Volt Connection

• Most oven installations will have a 120/240 voltage
connection.

• If your oven is installed with 120/208 voltage, the preheat
time may be slightly longer than with 120/240 voltage.

• The oven is designed to assure the same clean time at 208V.
The range ships configured to operate using 120/240
voltage. Refer to the Installation Instructions for how to
properly configure the electric oven for optimal performance
on 120/208 voltage.

Oven Racks

• The oven has rack guides at six levels as shown in the
illustration on Page 6.

• Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack guide
(#1) to the top (#6).

• Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use when
cooking.

• Each level guide consists of paired supports formed in the
walls on each side of the oven cavity.

• Always be sure to position the oven racks before turning on
the oven. Make sure that the racks are level and secure once
they are in position.

Please refer to illustration on Page 6 if there is any question
as to which side is the front of the rack.

• The racks are designed to stop when pulled forward to their
limit.

ATTENTION

Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line
the oven. It can cause damage to the oven liner if heat is
trapped under the foil.

ATTENTION

Make sure you do not force it to avoid damage to the
enamel.

Oven Condensation and Temperature

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.

• Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that allows
maintaining an accurate temperature. Your previous oven may
have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually over
time to a higher temperature. It is normal that you may need
to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking in a new oven.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time
will vary from the standard.

To remove oven rack from the oven:

1. Pull rack forward

Oven Telescopic Racks

• The telescopic rack allows for easier access to cooking foods

for repetitive activities such as basting.. It extends beyond the
standard flat rack bringing the food closer to the user.

ATTENTION

When the rack is outside of the oven, slide arms do not
lock. They could unexpectedly extend if the rack is carried
incorrectly. Extending slide arms could cause injury. Rack

should only be held or carried by grasping the sides.

12 - Bake Tips and Techniques

Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate
the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the
temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.

General Guidelines

EN

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1”

- 1 ½” (2,5 - 3cm) space between utensils and oven walls.

• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.

• Check for doneness at the minimum time.

• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish),
heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils
suitable for the oven.

• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F
(15°C) from recommended temperature.

• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.

• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with
more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen
the cooking time for most foods.

• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line
any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and
heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the oven.

• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.

• Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page 25.

13 - Convection Bake Tips and Techniques

Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C).

• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low­sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation.
Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise
specified.

• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature
by another 25°F (15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes
for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).

• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown
faster when using dark metal bake ware.

• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the
food to be cooked.

• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in
convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such as custards,
quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which do not benefit
from the convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake
mode for these foods.

• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack
positions 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5. All five racks can be used for
cookies, biscuits and appetizers.

- 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.

- 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4 or 1, 3 and 5.

- When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger
pans so that one pan is not directly above another. For best
results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower
rack (See graphic at right). Allow 1” - 1 ½” (2.5 - 3cm) air
space around pans.

• Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe
that will benefit from convection cooking.

• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It
may take some trial and error to achieve a perfect result.
Keep track of your technique for the next time you want to
prepare the recipe using convection.

Quick and easy recipe tips

Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION BAKE:
Reduce the temperature by 25°F (15°C).
Use the same baking time as Bake mode if under 10 to
15 minutes.
Foods with a baking time of less than 30 minutes should be
checked for doneness 5 minutes earlier than in standard
bake recipes.
If food is baked for more than 40 to 45 minutes, bake time
should be reduced by 25%.

14 - Convection Roast Tips and Techniques

• Do not preheat for Convection Roast.

• Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.

• When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind
back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

• Use the 2-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered.

• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the
internal doneness on “END” temperature (see cooking
chart).

• Double-check the internal temperature of meat or poultry by
inserting meat thermometer into another position.

• Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan
roasted) during a portion of the roasting time to prevent over­browning.

Quick and easy recipe tips

Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION
ROAST:

• Temperature does not have to be lowered.

• Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10­20% less cooking time. Check doneness early.

• Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in
CONVECTION ROAST will cook in about the same
amount of time.

• The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165°F
(75°C).

• After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil
for 10 to 15 minutes before carving if necessary to increase
the final foodstuff temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C)

16 - Dehydrate Tips and Techniques

• Dehydrating can be done using the Dehydrate mode. A lower temperature is used and the circulating heated air slowly removes
the moisture for food preservation.

• The Dehydrate mode temperature is pre-programmed at 140°F (60°C).

• The Dehydrate mode temperatures available are 120°F (50°C) to 160°F (70°C).

• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.

• Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.

• Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of various foods.

• This mode is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.

• Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.

• By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before dehydrating begins (such as with sliced tomatoes or sliced
peaches).

18 - Solving Baking Problems

EN

With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur
for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check
the chart below for causes of the most common problems.
Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly
affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace
old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age
