BAKE (Two­Element Bake)

F

ull power heat is
radiated from the bake
element in the bottom
of the oven cavity and
supplemental heat is
r

adiated from the broil
e

lement. This function
i

s recommended for
single rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to
be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional
baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that
require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking,
roasting, and casseroles.

CONV BAKE
(Convection Bake)

The bottom element
operates at full power,
and the top broil
element operates at
supplemental power.
The heated air is
circulated by the
motorized fan in the rear of the oven providing a more
even heat distribution. This even circulation of air
equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity
and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in
conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection
baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using
multiple racks—a feature not possible in a standard oven.

When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly
replaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining
more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less
shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be
baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste
transfer, even when different dishes are involved, such
as cakes, fish or meat. The hot air system is especially
economical when thawing frozen food. Use this setting
for baking and roasting.

TRU CONV
(TruConvec™)

The rear element only
operates at full power.
There is no direct heat
from the bottom or
top elements. The
motorized fan in the
rear of the oven
circulates air in the
oven cavity for even heating. (continued on

following panel)

Rack Positions

E

ach oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks

a

nd one TruGlide™ rack. With the TruGlide™ rack, the
bottom section remains in the oven and the top section
smoothly glides outward when pulled. This reduces the
chances of spills from items that contain a lot of juice or
liquid. This rack can be used in any of the five rack
p

ositions.

A

ll ovens have five rack positions. Position 5 is the farthest
from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven
bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at
various levels. For best results with conventional baking,
do not use more than one rack at a time. It is also
recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the
racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions

BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two r acks at
the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3
and 5.

2. Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function.

Cooking starts immediately and stops when the Oven
Function selector is turned to “OFF”.

3. Set the Temperature Control to the desired

temperature.

4. Place the food in the oven after the oven indicator light

goes out.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the
windows and/or door in the room where the appliance
is located during the self-clean cycle.

Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms

where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds
have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be
harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
