State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California, which can cause can­cer or reproductive harm. Therefore, the pack­aging of your product may bear the following label as required by California:
en-us
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substance known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in self clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
¡ Providing good ventilation when cooking
with gas.
¡ Providing good ventilation during and imme-
diately after self-cleaning the oven.
¡ Operating the unit according to the instruc-
tions in this manual.

will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
Do not cover the oven cavity bottom with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place accessories on the oven cavity bot­tom.
¡ If aluminum foil comes into contact with the door
pane, it could cause permanent discoloration.
Do not allow aluminum foil in the oven cavity to come into contact with the door pane.
¡ When the oven cavity is hot, any water inside it will
create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
Never pour water into the oven cavity when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the oven cavity bottom.
¡ The prolonged presence of moisture in the oven cav-
ity leads to corrosion.
Allow the oven cavity to dry after use.
Do not keep moist food in the oven cavity for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the oven cavity.
¡ Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door
open will damage the front of neighboring kitchen units over time.
Always allow the oven cavity to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
Only leave the oven cavity to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during oper­ation.
¡ Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray.
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
¡ If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not
close properly when the appliance is in operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
Do not clean the door gasket.
¡ Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

Environmental protection and energy-saving

Environmental protection and en­ergy-saving
Environmental protection and energy-saving
Protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of reus­able materials correctly.

Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
Information about current disposal methods can be obtained from your specialist dealer or local authority.

Saving energy

If you follow these recommendations, your appliance will use less energy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom­mended settings tell you to do so.
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.
These types of baking pans absorb the heat particu­larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during op­eration.
This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.
The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the oven cavity.
Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
This will save the energy that would otherwise be re­quired to defrost it.

Oven cavity

Here you can find information about the features of the oven cavity.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Do not place food directly on the oven cavity bottom.
Convection fan
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.
Oven vent
Warm air may be released from the oven vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam es­caping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use.
CAUTION
Risk of fire!
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Cover­ing the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents. →"Familiarizing yourself with your appliance", Page11

¡ Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a pre-
heated oven and require that the oven already be at a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for preheating recommendations.
¡ Preheating time depends on the temperature setting
and the number of racks in the oven.
Bakeware type
¡ Metal bakeware with or without a non-stick finish,
heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other uten­sils are suitable for the oven.
¡ Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side.
Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may affect the baking time.
Pan placement
¡ Allow at least 1'' (2.5cm) of space between the pans
and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.
¡ Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1½'' (4cm) above and below each pan.
High altitude baking
When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary. For accurate information, go to www.csuextstore.com, or write to the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general infor­mation, cakes, cookies breads, etc.

Getting the best results

¡ Minimize opening the oven door(s). ¡ Use the rack position recommended by the recipe. ¡ Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe. ¡ Store pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan without
food affects the browning and cooking.
¡ The type of pan used affects the browning.
– For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-
stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
– For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick, an-
odized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F.
Condensation
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 will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.
General tips for heating modes How to use bake mode
Use the bake mode to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven tempera­ture and baking time.
Note
¡ Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cakes,
biscuits and breads.
¡ BAKE is the best function to use for baking cakes on
two racks.
¡ Allow at least 2'' (5cm) of space between bakeware
for proper air circulation.
¡ Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or over browned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
¡ Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
¡ Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

Getting the most out of your appliance en-us
¡ For cakes use rack positions 2 and 4. Stagger pans
so that one is not directly above the other.
How to use convection bake mode
Use the convection bake mode for bar cookies and breads. This mode takes advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items. The benefits of convection bake include a slight de­crease in cook time and a higher dough volume, for ex­ample yeast items rise higher with this mode.
Note
¡ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F. Refer to the
cooking chart.
¡ Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as
cookie sheets without sides.
¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least
1" to 1½'' (2.5 to 4cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Allow at least 2'' (5cm) of space between bakeware
for proper air circulation.
How to use convection multi-rack/true convection mode
Use convection multi-rack or true convection for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and bis­cuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or
3) at the same time. The benefits of convection multi-rack include even browning and time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.
Note
¡ Baking cookies is possible on 6racks simultaneously.
In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
¡ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if auto convec-
tion conversion is not activated.
¡ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as
cookie sheets without sides.
¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least
1" to 1½" (2.5 to 4cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the
other.
How to use pizza mode
Note
Follow these recommendations:
¡ There might be a slight decrease in baking time.
Check before minimum package time.
¡ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place
directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
¡ When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to pre­vent crust formation.
¡ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
¡ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan
for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
¡ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations while the oven is preheating.
¡ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the cen-
ter of the rack.
¡ Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza. ¡ The convection fan cycles on and off when using
pizza mode.
How to use roast mode
Use roast mode for large cuts of meat and poultry.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary. ¡ Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover
dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
¡ For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as wa-
ter, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and mois­ture.
¡ Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use
in this mode.
¡ When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
How to use convection roast mode
Use the convection roast mode for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables. The benefits of convection roast mode include as much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes and rich, golden browning.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary. ¡ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe. ¡ Check doneness early, since roasting time may de-
crease.
¡ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags. ¡ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, un-
covered pan with a rack for roasting.
¡ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
temperature of the meat.
¡ If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
¡ Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after
removing it from the oven.
How to use broil mode
The broil mode uses intense heat radiated from the up­per element. Use the broil mode for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat, 1" (2.5cm) or less, poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles..
Note
¡ Always broil with the oven door closed. ¡ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4minutes. Do not preheat
for more than 5minutes.
¡ Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" (2cm) thick.
25
en-us Cleaning and maintenance
¡ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
¡ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
¡ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Fish does not need to be turned.
¡ When top browning casseroles, use only metal or
glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
¡ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use convection broil mode
Use the convection broil mode for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convec­tion broiling is faster.
Note
¡ Always use convection broil with the oven door
closed.
¡ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4minutes. Do not preheat
for more than 5minutes.
¡ Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4cm)
thick.
¡ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
¡ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
¡ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Fish does not need to be turned.
¡ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use proof mode
Use the proof mode to raise yeast dough.
Note
¡ Start with a cool oven when using the proof mode. ¡ Allow frozen dough to thaw first. ¡ The ideal temperature for proofing will be maintained
until the mode is turned off. Dough has proofed when it has doubled in size.
¡ Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accommodates the size of the container.
¡ Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check
the rising of the dough.

How to use warm mode
Use the warm mode to keep hot, cooked foods at serv­ing temperature.
CAUTION
Risk of harm to health!
Food may perish when kept warm for too long.
Do not use the warm mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F (60°C) or warmer.
DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
Note
¡ ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode
to heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal.
¡ Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm
with this mode.
¡ Foods that must be kept moist should be covered
with a lid or aluminum foil.
¡ Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only
heat-safe dishes.
¡ DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening
the door will reduce the temperature of the oven.
¡ When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the
oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven.
