cookingmodes fromwhich you
can choosethe one that best
meetsyour cookingneeds.

Bake

Whenusing this function, full­powerheat is radiatedfrom the

ovencavity,while supplemental
heatis radiatedfrom the broil
element. This function is
recommendedfor single-rack
baking.Use this settingfor baking,
roasting, andcasseroles.

Broil

Thisfunction is a dry-heatcooking
method,using director radiant
heaton threedifferentsettings:
low,medium and high. The
distance betweenthe foods and
the broilelementsdetermines
broiling speed.This functionis
recommendedfor small,
individualizedcuts, suchas steaks,
chops,and patties.

TruConvec™

With this function, only the rear
element operates at full power.
There is no direct heat from the
bottom or top elements, and the
motorized fan in the rear of the
oven circulates for even heating.

Built-In Electric Touch Control

Single and Double Ovens

Use this setting for foodsthat require gentlecooking, such aspastries, soufflés,
yeast breads, quick breads, and cakes. This setting produces breads, cookies,
and other baked goods with an even texture and golden crusts. No special
bakeware is required. Use this function for single-rack baking, multiple-rack
baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also
recommended when preparing large quantitiesof bakedgoods at one time.

Convection Bake

With this function, the
bottom element operates at
full power, and the top broil
element operates at
supplemen tal power. The
motorized fan in the rear of
the oven circulates heated
air, providing a more even
heat distribution. This even
circulation of air equalizes the
temperature throughout the
oven cavity and eliminates
the hot andcold spots found
in conventional ovens.

A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in larger
quantities using multiple racks. When roasting using this setting, cool air is
quickly replaced, searing meats onthe 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 isespecially economical when thawing frozenfood. Use this setting
for baking androasting.

Convection Broil

Using this function, the top
element operate s at full
power. Th is fu nction is
exactly the same as regular
broiling with the additional
benefit of air circulation by
the motorized fanin the rear
of the oven . Smoke is
reduced since the airflow
also reduces the peak
temperatures on the food.
Use this setting for broiling
thick cuts ofmeat.

Auto Roast*

Thisfunction furthersimplifiesroastingby automatically searing
the outside of meats,raising the pre-set temperature by 100°F
for a shorttime to sear the outsideof the meat. Thetemperature
thenreturns to the pre-settemperature in the standard
convection roastmode.

Meat Probe*

The probetemperature functionis used to automaticallyturn the
ovenoff when the internaltemperatureof meat beingcooked is
reached.

Proof*

Thisfunction usesa low temperature to createan optimal
environmentfor the yeast to risein many typesof dough.

Recipes*

Thissetting accesses, programs, and savescooking
cyclesfrom favoriterecipes.

Convection Roast

With this function, the
convectio n element ru ns in
conjunction with the inner and
outer bro il elemen ts. The
reversible convection fan runs
at a higher speed in ea ch
direction, allowing the moisture
to be sealed inside large cuts of
meat, such as roasts.This saves
time when compare d wi th
single fa n convect ion roast
modes. Use this setting for
whole turkeys, whole chickens,
and roasts.

NOTE: Because this functionuses a high-speedconvection fan foroptimum
cooking performance, some noise may be noticed from the high fanspeed.
This is normal.

Defrost

With the temperature control off, amotorized fan in therear
of the oven circulates air. This f an acce lerates natural
defrosting of thefood withoutheat.

NOTE: To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two
hours.

Dehydrate

With this function, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven
circulates warm air. Over a period of time, the water is
removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water
inhibits growth ofmicroorganisms and retards the activity of
enzymes. It is important toremember that dehydration does
not improve quality; only fresh, top-quality foods should be
dehydrated in youroven.

Self-Clean

The self-cleaning cycle is designed to eliminate theneed for
scrubbing and scouring food baked onto the oven interior.
During this cycle, the ovenuses high temperaturesto burn off
soils and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator reduces
odors associated with thesoil burn-off.A powder ash residue
is left in the bottom of the oven aftercompletion of the self­clean cycle. When the oven has cooled, remove any ash from oven surfaces
with a dampsponge or cloth.
