GENERAL OVEN INFORMATION
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Remove all packing and foreign materials from the oven. Any material
of this sort left inside may melt or burn when the appliance is used.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
240 V VS. 208 V CONNECTION
Most oven installations will have a 240 V connection. If your oven is installed with
208 V, the preheat time may be slightly longer than with 240 V. The oven is designed
to assure the same clean time at 208 V.
HEATING FIRST TIME
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any
manufacturing residues, which could aect the food with unpleasant odors.
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time will vary from the standard.
POWER FAILURE
After the power returns to the oven, the clock displays the time 12.00.
E - ERROR NUMBER CODES
If E codes are displayed when the electronic control detects a problem in the oven or
in the electronics.
SQUEAK NOISE
You may hear a squeak from the oven due to heat warping, but this is not a
malfunction.
FLASHING SYMBOLS OR NUMBERS
Signal an incomplete action that is in progress (locking the door, preheat, etc.).
BEEPS
Signal that the set temperature has been reached. Beeps also signal the end of a
function or an oven fault.
7
CONVECTION FAN
The convection fan operates during any Convection Mode and Defrost Mode.
COMPONENT COOLING FAN
Activates during any cooking or Self-Cleaning mode to cool inner components and
outer door surfaces. This air is exhausted through the vent located above the oven
door. It continues to run until components have cooled suciently. The cooling
fan operates at double speed (or RPMs) in self-cleaning and whenever the internal
components’ temperature becomes high.
USING OVEN LIGHTS
When the oven is in use, oven lights turn on automatically when a mode is
•
started. Oven lights will turn o automatically when nished and the oven mode
is cancelled.
The lights do not operate in the Self-Cleaning Mode.
•
“Light” knob to activate the lights in the oven
•
FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS
The temperature is preset in Fahrenheit, however it can be changed to Celsius.
GENERAL OVEN TIPS
DEFAULT SETTINGS
The Cooking Modes automatically select a suitable temperature. These can be
changed when a dierent one is needed.
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.
OPERATIONAL SUGGESTIONS
Use the Cooking Charts as a guide.
•
Do not set pans or any weight 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.
8
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 nish on the pan will help
•
determine the amount of browning that will occur.
Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick /anodized pans reect heat, resulting
•
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 Broiler Pan outside of the oven.
OVEN RACKS

•
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 once they are in position.
Please refer to illustration on “Features of Your Oven” if there is any question as to
which side is the front or top of the rack.
The racks are designed to stop when pulled forward to their limit.
•
IMPORTANT: 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.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not force it to avoid damage to the enamel.

COOKING WITH THE CONVECTION OVEN
In a conventional oven, the heat sources cycle on and o to maintain an average
temperature in the oven cavity.
As the temperature gradually rises and falls, gentle air currents are produced within
the oven. This natural convection tends to be inecient because the currents are
irregular and slow. In this convection system the heat is “conveyed” by a fan that
provides continuous circulation of the hot air. This European Convection system
provides state-of-the-art engineering and advanced design to create the nest
convection oven. In standard convection ovens, a fan simply circulates the hot air
around the food. The system is characterized by the combination of an additional
heating element located around the convection fan and the venting panel that
distributes heated air in three dimensions: along the sides, the top, and the full
depth of the oven cavity. This European Convection system aids in maintaining a
more even oven temperature throughout the oven cavity.
The circulating air aids in speeding up the baking process and cooks the food more
evenly. By controlling the movement of heated air, convection cooking produces
evenly browned foods that are crispy on the outside yet moist inside. Convection
cooking works best for breads and pastries as well as meats and poultry. Air-
leavened foods like Angel food cakes, soués, and cream pus rise higher than in
a conventional oven. Meats stay juicy and tender while the outside is avorful and
crisp.
By using European Convection, foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and
cooking times can be shorter.
When using this mode, the standard oven temperature should be lowered by 25 °F
(15 °C). Foods requiring less cooking time should be checked slightly earlier than
normal. For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans
to take advantage of the forced air circulation. When using the Convection Roast
mode, the standard oven temperature does not need to be reduced.
ADVANTAGES OF CONVECTION COOKING
Baking on multiple racks at the same time is possible with even results.
•
Multiple-rack baking saves time.
•
Prepare whole meals at once with no avor transfer
•
Requires no specialized bakeware.
•
Dehydrates herbs, fruits and vegetables
•
Saves time and energy.
•
Convection broiling allows for extraordinary grilling with thicker cuts of food.

CONVECTION BAKE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C).
For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low-sided pans to take
•
advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results
unless otherwise specied.
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. Do not try to
•
convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes, which
do not benet 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
•
ve 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.
•
18
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” - 1½” (2.5 -
3cm) air space around pans.
Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe that will work well in
•
convection.
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.
See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems.
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%.

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 nish of the baking utensil.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1” - 1½” (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 nish), heatproof glass, glass-
•
ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
20
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 nish of the oven.
Avoid using the opened oven door as a shelf to place pans.
