Meat Thermometer

A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness.

Conventional symbol

The Conventional function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating casseroles on a single oven rack.

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.

To Conventional Cook:

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” and “Cooking Chart” sections. It is necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless preheating is not recommended in the recipe.

NOTE: At any time, set values can be changed by pressing the Back button, turning the knob until the desired setting appears on the display, then pressing the Confirmation button to select.

1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Conventional symbol.

2. Turn the Browse knob until desired temperature appears on

the display then press the Confirmation button to select. The Cook Time symbol will flash.

3. (Optional) If a cooking length is desired, turn the Browse knob

until desired cook time appears on the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The End of Cooking Time symbol and the end of cooking time will appear on the display.

4. (Optional) To set a delayed start, turn the Browse knob until

the desired end of cooking time appears on the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The colon in the end of cooking time will flash. The oven will automatically delay the start of cooking to finish cooking at the set time.

See the “Delay Start” section for additional information.

5. Place food in oven when preheat signal sounds. The screen

will also prompt you when to insert food. If a Delay Start is programmed, place food in oven when setting the mode.

NOTE: Do not use Delay Start for items that require a preheated oven, such as cakes, cookies and breads. If food is in the oven during preheat, it may become overcooked.

6. Turn the Oven Control knob to the “Off” symbol when finished

cooking.

Oven Vent

A. Control panel B. Oven vent

C. Oven door

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Fast Preheating

Fast Preheating can be used to shorten the preheating time. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven and should be used only for one-rack baking. When the Fast Preheating cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Conventional cycle.

To Use Fast Preheating:

1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Fast Preheating symbol

then press the Confirmation button to select. The current settings will appear on the display.

2. Turn the Browse knob until desired temperature appears on

the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The oven will automatically confirm your selection 10 seconds after the previous operation.

3. “PRE” will appear on the display. When the selected

temperature is reached, the temperature will appear on the display and a signal will sound.

4. Place food in the oven when preheat symbol sounds.

5. At the end of preheating, the oven automatically selects the

Conventional function. To select a different cooking function, turn the Oven Control

knob until the symbol of the desired cooking function appears and press the Confirmation button to select.

Grilling

Grill symbol

Grilling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when grilling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower grilling temperatures.

■ Use only the drip tray provided with the oven. It is designed

to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

■ Use the high grilling function to cook larger quantities of

meat.

■ When grilling meat, add a little water to the drip tray to help

avoid spatter and smoke.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the oven rack with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After grilling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before grilling, position rack according to the “Cooking Chart” section. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food in the drip tray, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

During cooking, the oven door must remain closed.

NOTE: At any time, set values can be changed by pressing the Back button, turning the knob until the desired setting appears on the display, then pressing the Confirmation button to select.

To Grill:

1. Place food in oven. Preheating the oven is not necessary.

2. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Grill symbol.

3. Turn the Browse knob until the Grill symbol appears on the

display then press the Confirmation button to select.

4. Turn the Browse knob until the desired temperature setting

(1-5) appears on the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The Cook Time symbol will flash.

5. (Optional) If a cooking length is desired, turn the Browse knob

until desired cook time appears on the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The End of Cooking Time symbol and the end of cooking time will appear on the display.

6. (Optional) To set a delayed start, turn the Browse knob until

the desired end of cooking time appears on the display then press the Confirmation button to select.

The colon in the end of cooking time will flash. The oven will automatically delay the start of cooking to finish cooking at the set time.

See the “Delay Start” section for additional information.

7. Turn the Oven Control knob to the “Off” symbol when finished

cooking.

Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so

that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only

when necessary.

■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with

lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the

minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as using a toothpick.

■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to

determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places

Convection Bake

Forced Air

Convection bake symbol

Convection baking and roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.

During Convection Bake, the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake and Roast:

Before convection baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” or “Cooking Chart” sections.

When convection roasting, use the drip tray under the oven rack. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting in food, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Drip tray

NOTE: At any time, set values can be changed by pressing the Back button, turning the knob until the desired setting appears on the display, then pressing the Confirmation button to select.

1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Convection Bake symbol.
