hich you can choose the one that best meets your
w
cooking needs.
Bake
When using this
function, full-power
heat is radiated from
the bake element in the
bottom of the oven
cavity, while
supplemental heat is
radiated from the broil
element. This function is recommended for single-rack
baking. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and
casseroles.
Broil
This function is a dryheat cooking method,
using direct or radiant
heat on three different
settings: low, medium
and high. The distance
between the foods and
the broil elements
determines broiling speed. This function is
recommended for small, individualized cuts, such as
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. Use this setting for foods
that require gentle cooking, such as pastries, 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

reparation of complete meals. This setting is also
p
ecommended when preparing large quantities of
r
baked goods at one time.
Convection Bake
With this function, the
ottom element
b
perates at full power,
o
nd the top broil
a
element operates at
supplemental 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 and cold 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 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.
Convection Broil
Using this function, the
top element operates
at full power. This
function is exactly the
same as regular
broiling with the
additional benefit of air
circulation by the
motorized fan in 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 of meat.
Convection Roast
With this function, the
convection element
runs in conjunction with
the inner and outer
broil elements. The
reversible convection
fan runs at a higher
Convection Roast (cont.)
peed in each direction, allowing the moisture to be
s
sealed inside large cuts of meat, such as roasts. This
saves time when compared with single fan convection
roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole
chickens, and roasts.
ote: Because this function uses a high-speed
N
onvection fan for optimum cooking performance,
c
some noise may be noticed from the high fan speed.
This is normal.
Defrost
With the temperature control off, a
motorized fan in the rear of the oven
circulates air. This fan accelerates natural defrosting of
the food without heat.
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 of microorganisms and retards
the activity of enzymes. It is important to remember
that dehydration does not improve quality; only fresh,
top-quality foods should be dehydrated in your oven.
Self-Clean
The self-cleaning cycle is designed to
eliminate the need for scrubbing and
scouring food baked onto the oven
interior. During this cycle, the oven uses high
temperatures to burn off soils and deposits. An
integral smoke eliminator reduces odors associated
with the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in
the bottom of the oven after completion of the selfclean cycle. When the oven has cooled, remove any
ash from oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
Auto Roast*
This function further simplifies roasting
by automatically searing the outside of
meats, raising the pre-set temperature
by 100°F for a short time to sear the outside of the
meat. The temperature then returns to the pre-set
temperature in the standard convection roast mode.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Read and follow all instructions before using this
appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric
shock, personal injury or damage to the appliance as
a result of improper usage of the appliance. Use
appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this manual.
To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance
must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to adjust,
repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
servicer. Have the installer show you the location of
the gas shutoff valve and how to shut it off in an
emergency. A certified technician is required for any
adjustments or conversions to Natural or LP gas.
C A U T I O N
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and
cabinet finishes, use only materials and finishes
that will not discolor or delaminate and will
withstand temperatures up to 194° F (90° C). Heat
and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry.
Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials meet these requirements.

C A U T I O N
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or
arm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
w
user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT
use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
• For proper oven performance and operation,
DO NOT block or obstruct the oven vent duct
located on the right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and
for several minutes after oven is turned off. When
the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area
become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is
turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop,
areas facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near
the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven
door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting,
or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards
and/or injuries.
W A R N I N G
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the
oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous
fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes.
W A R N I N G
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
W A R N I N G

followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or death.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the

replacing bulb.
W A R N I N G
BURN OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven
is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do
so can result in burns or electrical shock.
W A R N I N G
To avoid sickness and food waste when using
automatic time baking:
• DO NOT use foods that will spoil while waiting for
cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs,
cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry, or
foods with stuffing.
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start
should be very cold or frozen before it is placed in
the oven.
• DO NOT use foods containing baking powder or
yeast when automatic time baking. They will not
rise properly.
• DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for
more than two hours after the end of the cooking
cycle.
• To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more
than two hours.
