Scratches are almost impossible to remove.

Performance Checklist

A qualified installer should carry out the following checks: h Check top surface elements—glow red when turned on.

h Check hot surface indicator lights—glow red when corresponding element is on.

h Check oven bake function—bake element on full power, center and outside broil elements at partial power. h Convection bake function—bake and broil elements the same with the convection fan on.

h Check TruConvec™ function—TruConvec element (behind convection fan cover) on and convection fan on.

h Check HI broil function–both broil elements at full power.

h Check LOW broil function—inner broil element only. h Check convection broil function—both broil elements at full power with convection fan on.

h Check self-clean function—door will lock in approximately 30 seconds, the center and outside broil elements will turn on and the bake element will turn on at partial power. Check broil elements through window to make sure they are on, then abort self-clean cycle to unlock door.

NOTICE

When conducting performance test,

DO NOT run self-clean cycle for more than 10 minutes with oven racks inside oven. This could cause them to discolor due to the high temperature required for self-cleaning.

Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is two-element bake radiated from the broil element. This function is 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.

convection bake

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

TruConvec oven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads, and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly textured with 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 baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.

CONV ROAST (Convection Roast)

The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly from convection roast the convection element) seals moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.

CONV BROIL (Convection Broil)

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 convection broil since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.

HI BROIL

Heat radiates from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at full power. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling high broil speed. For fast broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on the top rack. Fast broiling is best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

MED BROIL

Inner and outer broil elements pulse on and off to produce less heat for slow broiling. Allow about

4 inches (10 cm) between the top medium broil surface of the food and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for chicken and ham in order to broil food without over-browning it.

Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

LOW BROIL

This mode uses only a fraction of the available power to the inner broil element for delicate top-browning. The inner broil element is low broil on for only part of the time. Use this setting to gently brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

Convection Dehydration

This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.

1. Prepare the food as recommended.

2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven; contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).

3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.

Convection Defrost

1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.

2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.

3. Turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.

Self-Clean Cycle

This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. See Use and Care Manual for self-clean cycle instructions.
