gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items
may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.
DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads,
mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders
because they can get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These
items could ignite and cause burns.
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide
oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must
be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.
• ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause
the container to explode and result in injury.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The
food could be contaminated.
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,
it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas
cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep
natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as
opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the
level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.
Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
• GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat
cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect
around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
Child Safety
• If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used
infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing
to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
6
Burners
• NEVER touch oven burners, areas near broiler and bake burner, or interior
surfaces of oven.
• Burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near burners
and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.

Conventional and Convection Cooking
Convection Cooking Tips (cont.)
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and
consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using
the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional
baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as
custard. The user may find other foods that are also prepared
more consistently in conventional bake. It is recommended to use
this function for single-rack baking.
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3,
and 4. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4. Remember
that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the
oven just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook
right after they are set out of the oven.
• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to
convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by
preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving
acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the
similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction
during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a
time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the
convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time
until satisfactory results are achieved.
Convection Cooking Tips
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25˚ F (10˚ C) when using a
convection cooking function.
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will
be the same. However, if using convection to cook a single item
or smaller load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in
cooking time. (Remember convection cooking is designed for
multi-rack baking or cooking large loads.)
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is
possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time.
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare
foods in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this
possible. Foods that can be prepared on two of three racks at
the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins,
rolls, and frozen convenience foods.

Operation
Operation
Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fanforced air to circulate throughout the entire oven cavity creating
the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with convection is
intended when performing multi-rack baking and for heavier
foods. Below are some tips which will allow you to get the best
results out of your oven when cooking with convection.

BAKE
BROIL
BAKE
(Natural Airflow Bake)
CONVECTION
BROIL
Full power heat is radiated from
the two bake burners in the
bottom of the oven cavity and is
circulated with natural airflow.
This function is recommended for
single rack bakings. Many
cookbooks contain recipes to be
cooked in the conventional
natural airflow bake
manner. Conventional baking is
suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for
baking and casseroles.
CONVECTION
BAKE
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of
the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the
2nd and 4th position for more consistent even baking.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several
pans are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be
directly above another.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for
even air circulation.

BAKE
Operation
Heat is radiated from the bake
burners in the bottom of the oven
cavity. The heated air is circulated
by the motorized fan in the rear of
the oven providing more even heat
distribution. This even circulation
of air equalizes the temperature
throughout the oven cavity and
eliminates the hot and cold spots
convection bake
found in convection ovens.
Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job. When roasting,
cool air is quickly replaced—searing meats on the outside and retaining
more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. This even
circulation of air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity
and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens.
Baking Tips
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn
on the oven.
• DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the
door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open
the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come out clean when done.
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best
results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in
shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old,
darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans
heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Solving Baking Problems
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for
the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important
to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are
accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from
those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary
for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.

CONVECTION BROIL
(Infrared Convection Broil)
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 reduces peak
temperatures on the food. Use
this setting for thick cuts of meat.

Broiling Instructions
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is
used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.
Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and
the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.
Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches
thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Convection
broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than
conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results,
especially for thick cuts.
The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural
flavor inside with less shrinkage.

To Use Broil
Broiling Tips
The oven’s broiler features a HI and LO broil function. The LO broil
function should be used for slow broiling since the unit will cycle on
and off frequently. The HI broil function should be used for fast broiling
as the unit will cycle less frequently.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
broiler on.
• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.
• ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing
food.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up
the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can
also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with
the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven function selector to either BROIL or CONVECTION
BROIL. Press “BROIL”. Press the “UP” button for HI broil or the
“DOWN” buton for LO broil. HI will appear if the “UP” button is
pressed; LO will appear if the “DOWN” button is pressed.
4. Press the “BROIL HI/LO” once. A single tone will sound, the broil
indicator light will appear in the lower left corner and “---”will light
indicating the broil function has been accessed.
6. BROIL will terminate if the HI/LO BROIL is not selected within 30
seconds. BROIL can also be terminated by pressing the “CANCEL”
button once.
Rack Positions for Broiling
Note: Note the approximate effective cooking areas on the broiler
grid for each rack position. Position 4 is closest to the broiler with a
25% effective cooking area. Position 1 is closest to the oven bottom
with 95% effective cooking area.

This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables. With the oven function selector set to Convection
Bake and the temperature control on 170° F (76.6° C), warm air is
circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. 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 the quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be used.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven;
contact a local store handling specialty cooking utensils).
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to
“CONVECTON BAKE”.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Convection Defrost (CONVECTION BAKE)
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.
With the selector set to Convection Bake and the temperature control
off, air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid
sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in
the oven for more than two hours.
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your oven. Cleaning instructions
for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL
PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR
ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.
Control Knobs
3. Turn the selector to “CONVECTON BAKE”.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could
remove the graphics from the knob.
Stainless Steel Parts
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot
towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to
scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on
stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
