Page 13

Setting Conv Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature:

• Foods may cook up to 25% faster, saving time and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

• No special pans or bakeware needed.

The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 12). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. Press .

To cancel Conv Bake at any time press .

Convection bake rack positions:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.

• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 13).

Oven Controls

Figure 12: Air circulation in the convection function

• The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.

• If the oven door is opened when the convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

• When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.

• When baking using 2 oven racks, position bakeware as shown

Figure 13. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space

between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the food

Figure 13: Convection rack positions and pan spacing

Setting Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the Conv Roast function will be juicier and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Conv Roast. Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

To set Conv Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Conv Roast.

2. Press .

To cancel Conv Roast at any time press .

Important note:

• The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.

Setting Conv Convert

Pressing the Conv Convert key automatically converts the cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to the lower temperature required for convection baking.

When Conv Convert is used with a timed Conv Bake setting of 20 minutes or more, the Conv Convert function will display a CF message (Figure 14) as a reminder to check food when the bake time is 75% complete. At this time the oven control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has finished.

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

The suggested broil settings table (Table 2) are recommendations only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven racks and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.

Important note:

• Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.

• For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along

with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid splatter.

• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop

position before turning or removing food. Note: A broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance. To purchase them, call Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800469-4663) and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn the outside as it seals in the meat’s juices.

Two Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours. The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position

2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type

cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

Important note:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the continuous bake mode.

Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven, and the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of Cook Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with 2 presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for heavy cleaning.

Read before starting Self Clean:

Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

• Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 18). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.

Do not force the door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Important note:

Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven including bakeware, utensils

and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or

around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside

the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (Figure 18). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

Figure 18: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket).

To set s e l f clean:

1. Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Self Clean and the default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display. You may accept the default 3 hour clean time by going to step 3, or choose a different clean time. Press Self Clean and use the numeric keypad to select any time between 2 hours and 4 hours. Once you have the desired clean time selected proceed to step 3.

3. Press to activate Self Clean.

Figure 20: Hot oven door locked (L) door open message (R).

When Self Clean is finished:

Use caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

1. Cln message will turn off and Hot will appear in display window (Figure 20).

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the door Opn message will appear. When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Important note:

The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self clean cycle.

When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.

Setting Delay Start Self Clean

To start a delay Self Clean with default clean time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is empty and ALL oven racks are removed. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Delay Start.

3. Using numeric keypad enter 9 0 0 for time to start.

4. Press to accept

5. Press Self Clean.

6. Press .

If it becomes necessary to stop Self Clean when active:

1. Press .

2. If Self Clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool and the door Opn message to appear (Figure 20). When this message turns off the oven may be opened.

3. Before restarting Self Clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important note:

• When Self Clean is active you may check the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Self Clean key once.

• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr display mode.

• If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
