COOKING MODES

Preheating

• Preheat means to bring the oven up to a specified temperature before putting food into the oven.

• Preheat the oven based on your recipe.

• Preheating is great for baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads.

Baking (Refer to Figure 9.)

NOTE: This oven utilizes a gas burner located under the oven cavity. This

allows the heat to rise naturally to bake foods evenly.

• Push in the temperature control knob for 3 seconds and then release.

• The igniter will continue to spark.

• Then push and turn temperature control knob counter-clockwise to

the desired temperature between MIN (150°F) to MAX.

Broiling (Refer to Figure 10.)

cavity for broiling and browning.

• Push in the temperature control knob, and turn clockwise to automatically ignite the broil burner.

CAUTION: The broil burner will remain on until the temperature control

is returned to the off position.

• A LWAYS utilize the broiler grid & pan when broiling.

• NEVER cover the broiler grid openings with aluminum foil. If the rack

is covered by aluminum foil, the fat cannot drip away from the meat and may easily ignite.

• DO NOT allow fatty edges hang over the sides of the broiler pan.

Convection Cooking (Refer to Figure 11.)

• During Convection cooking the fan will circulate hot air throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food will help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Foods cook more evenly. Browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing the moisture in.

• During convection cooking, the bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan turns off immediately and the element(s) will turn off after 30 seconds. Once the door closed, the element(s) will turn back on.

NOTE: The convection fan can be turned on and off at any time.

Oven Light (Refer to Figure 12.)

• When the Bake or Broil function is selected the oven light will turn on automatically and remain on during operation.

• While the oven door is closed, turn the knob to “Light” to turn lights on and off. Oven lights will turn on when the door is opened.

Oven Display

• The oven display will illuminate when the oven is pre-heating.

• The oven display will turn off when the selected cooking temperature

has been reached.
