6. When the control beeps and the control displays the set temperature, the oven enters the bake mode.

To Convection Bake

Due to better heat distribution inside the oven, lower temperatures can be used when using the convection mode. This temperature adjustment is automatically made by the electronic oven control. When using the convection mode, the actual oven temperature can be 25°F/12°C lower than required for oven cooking without convection. This allows you to use your existing recipes without having to manually adjust the temperature down. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking when using the convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature. Additional information on convection baking and convection recipes can be found in the Convection Oven Cook book and the Convection

Recipe book.

The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature from 170°F/77°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is recommended when using convection, but is not necessary when roasting or cooking casseroles. Follow the recommendations in the recipe.

Oven Cleaning

CONVEC

PRE-HEAT

During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the wall 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 surface of the oven).

(Typical Down Swing Door Shown)

Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.

1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after

the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The 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.

2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:

1. Push the CANCEL pad.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.
