Important Safety Instruc- tions

WARNING:

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. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

??? If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

??? Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use the appliance for storage.

??? Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

??? If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flamma- ble materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

??? Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

??? Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING ???

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flamb??ing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe???).

3) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accu- mulate on fan or filter.

4) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

??? In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi- ately to extinguish flames.

??? Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

??? Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Safety

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A

RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

2) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN ??? You may be burned.

3) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels ??? a violent steam explosion will result

4) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

a) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

???Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection Guide for further details.

???Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja- cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Cleaning

Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.

Half Oven Rack (Some Models) The half oven rack can be used as a simple flat rack or as a half-sized rack. With the right half of the rack removed, you can place a tall item (such as a turkey) on one side of the rack below and a shorter item (such as a casserole) on the other side. A second shorter item can then be placed on the half rack (above the first shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of the oven cavity.

Tip: The removable section can also be used outside of the oven as a trivet or cooling rack.

Note: Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe (some models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.

??? The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely thaw meats before using the probe.

Inserting the Probe

???For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.

???For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.

???For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the food.

Oven Cooking Modes

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the Bake, Proof and Warm upper and lower element cycle to maintain the oven

temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like pastries and casseroles as well as to roast meats.

Note: Depending on the model, you may hear the convection fan while the oven is preheating for the bake mode. This is normal.

In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread.

???Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

???The Proofing mode temperatures are 85?? to 110?? F. The default temperature is 100?? F.

???Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.

???Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

In Warming mode, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.

???Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.

???Warming mode temperatures are 140?? - 220?? F. Default temperature is 170??.

???Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

English 28

Convection Bake

Automatic Convection Conversion

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

CAUTION

When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:

???Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.

???Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recom- mends holding hot food at 140??F or warmer.

???DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.

Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat comes from the lower heating element and a third element behind the backwall. The main dif- ference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large quantities of food on multiple racks.

It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items.

The benefits of Convection Baking include:

???Slight decrease in cooking time

???Three rack cooking (more even browning)

???Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

???Ability to cook more items at once

For Best Results:

???Reduce recipe temperature by 25?? F. Refer to Convection Baking chart.

???Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.

???Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack

In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25?? F from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe tem- perature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct temperature.

The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for man- ual temperature adjustment. See ???Turn Automatic Convection Conversion ON or OFF??? on page 16 for details

When the Automatic Convection Conversion feature is activated, the display will read AUTO CONV BAKE. When the feature is turned off, it will read CONV BAKE.

Table 3: Convection Baking Chart

English 29

a.This temperature must be manually reduced by 25?? F if the Automatic Convection Conversion feature has been turned off.

b.This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions.

Broil

Table 4: Broiling Chart

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1??? or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.

The benefits of Broiling include:

???Fast and efficient cooking

???Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids

???Browning as the food cooks

For Best Results:

???Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

???Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4??? thick

???Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking

???Use the broil pan and grid included with your range

???Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering

???Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples).

???When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware??.

???Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex??); they can???t tolerate the high temperature.

Table 4: Broiling Chart

a.Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly, Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil element.

Convection Broil (some models)

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan. The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is typically not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods.

Always convection broil with the door closed. In

addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster than stan- dard Broiling.

Note: The only heat setting for the Convection Broil mode is High.

For Best Results:

???Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat more that 5 minutes.

???Meats should be at least 1 1/2??? thick.

???Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples).

???Use the broil pan and grid included with your range.

???Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

???Salt after cooking.

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and

Convection Roast bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan. The Convection Roast mode is well suited to preparing tender cuts of meat and

poultry. The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:

???As much as 25% faster cooking than stan- dard Roasting/ Baking

???Rich, golden browning

For Best Results:

???Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

???Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.

???Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

???Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.

???Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.

???If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

???Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.

*Roasting times are approximate and may vary depending on shape of the meat.

**Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165??F.

English 32

Dehydrate (some models)

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

The dehydrate mode dries with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use dehydrate to dry and/or pre- serve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature (100?? F - 160?? F) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven will stay on for 48 hours before shutting off automatically.

For Best Results:

???Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140?? F. Dry herbs at 100?? F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).

???Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time.

???Multiple racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact your dealer to order drying racks.

???Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

???Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.
