CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 - WARNING
WARNING This product can expose you to chemicals including carbon monoxide,
which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
In a conventional oven, the heat sources cycle on and off 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 inefficient 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 finest 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, soufflés and
cream puffs rise higher than in a conventional oven. Meats stay juicy and tender while the
outside is flavorful 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.
EN
ADVANTAGES OF CONVECTION COOKING
Even baking, browning and crisping are achieved.
During roasting, juices and flavors are sealed in while the exterior is crisp.
Yeast breads are lighter, more evenly textured, more golden and crustier.
Air-leavened foods such as cream puffs, soufflés and meringues are higher and lighter.
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 flavor transfer.
Dehydrates herbs, fruits and vegetables.
Requires no specialized bake ware.
Saves time and energy.
Convection broiling allows for extraordinary grilling with thicker cuts of food.
The following illustrations give an overview of what happens in the oven with each mode
setting. The arrows represent the location of the heat sources during specific modes. The lower
element is concealed under the oven floor.
Convection Bake [CONV BAKE): Set temperature from 170 °F [75 °C] to 550 °F [290 °C]
Preset position 325 °F [165 °C]
Convection Bake cooks with heat from a ring element behind the back wall of the oven. The
heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Bake (BAKE): Set temperature from 170 °F [75 °C] to 550 °F [290 °C]
Preset position 350 °F [175 °C]
Cooks with heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven
temperature.
Dehydrate (CONV DEHY): Set temperature from 120 °F [50 °C] to 160 °F [70 °C]
Preset position 140 °F [60 °C]
Dehydrating is similar to convection cooking but holds an optimum low temperature while
circulating the heated air to remove moisture slowly for food preservation.
Convection Broil (CONV BROIL): Set temperature from 170 °F [75 °C] to 550 °F [290 °C]
Preset position 450°F [230°C]
Convection Broil combines the intense heat from the upper element with the heat circulated by
the convection fan.
Before using your oven for the first time remove all packing and foreign materials from the
oven(s). 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 that calls for another input.
BEEPS
Signals that more information must be entered or confirms the receipt of an entry. Beeps also
signal the end of a function or an oven fault.
DOOR LOCK
“AUTO LOCK” appears when the door has been locked automatically due to self-clean mode.
AUTO LOCK 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.
“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. Hold both the
seconds. The latch will lock the door. Repeat the same operation to unlock.
LOCKING THE KEYBOARD
+ and - keys for 3
Hold both the keys indicated by “KEYBD. LOCK” legend for 3 seconds. Commands are now
locked and “SENS LOCK” will be displayed every time you touch any keys. Repeat the same
operation for 3 seconds to unlock the keyboard.
POWER FAILURE
After power returns to the oven, the clock displays the time 12.00AM.
DEFAULT SET TINGS
The cooking modes automatically select a suitable temperature when the selector is in the
preset position. These can be changed when a different one is needed. It’s also possible to set a
user option in order to save the last used temperature per every cooking mode.
FAILURE NUMBER CODES
These codes are displayed when the electronic control detects a problem in the oven or in the
electronics.
CONVECTION FAN
The convection fan operates during any convection mode. 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.
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 sufficiently. The cooling fan operates at double speed in selfclean and whenever the internal components temperature becomes high.
PREHEAT AND FAST PREHEAT
Whenever a cooking mode is set and the oven is heating, “PREHEAT” appears in the
temperature display: the vertical bar indicates, in four steps, when the oven reaches the 25%,
50%, 75%, 100% of the set-point temperature. As soon as the 100% is reached, the control
sounds an “end of preheat” tone and “PREHEAT” 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 to reduce the heating time to a minimum.
After having set one of the cooking functions for which the fast preheat is available, touch the
PRE key, “FAST” is shown in addition to “PREHEAT”.
EN
As soon as the set-point temperature is reached, the control sounds an “end of preheat” tone
and both “FAST” and “PREHEAT” disappear. The oven switches automatically to the desired
cooking mode that was previously set: put the food inside now.
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.
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” message will turn off.
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 broiler pan outside of the oven.
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.
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 extendable rack allows for easier access to cooking. It extends beyond the standard flat rack
bringing the food closer to the user.
NOTE: Always remove the extendable rack before self-cleaning the oven.
When the rack is outside of the oven, slide arms do not 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.
To avoid burns, pull rack all the way out and lift pan above handle when transferring food to
and from oven.
Please refer to illustration on page 8 if there is any question as to which side is the front of
the rack.
1. Lift rack slightly and push it towards the back
of the oven until the stop releases.
1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Place rack

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
• 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.
EN
Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on page 39.
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
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.
Baking with two racks: Use positions 1 and 3.
Baking with three racks: 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 on following page). Allow 1” - 1 ½” [2.5 - 3cm].air space around pans.
• Converting your own recipe can be easy. See page 24 for foods that 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.
