Operating Your Range About the Various Cooking Modes Standard Bake (Selected Models Only) In standard bake mode, the bottom heat element provides conventional baking heat. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use standard bake for single rack baking and roasting. Convection Bake In this combination convection-radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. As in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking and roasting. Standard Broil The infrared ceramic gas broiler supplies the heat in Broil mode. The broil temperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the HI setting (equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling is always performed with the door closed. Pure Convection™ (ERD models only) Your new oven has the best cooking system available today, Pure Convection™. Pure Convection is a total system approach to cooking. Pure Convection allows multi-rack cooking while achieving even results from one rack to another. In Pure Convection mode a third heating element, encircling the convection fan, is located in the rear of the oven chamber behind a baffle. • The convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then forces it across the hot convection heating element. The heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through the convection baffle. • The baffle distributes the heated air evenly to ensure uniform results. It also separates the food from the heat source and channels the air evenly into the oven eliminating any hot or cool spots. • The convection filter, in the back of the oven, eliminates the transference of flavors when cooking entire meals and keeps the oven cleaner. AIR FLOW Pre-Heat Cycle The oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven will automatically perform the pre-heat function. Pre-heat operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake modes. There is no pre-heat cycle for the broil mode. Basic Oven Operation Follow these steps to operate the various oven modes: 1. Position the oven rack(s) at the proper height(s). 2. Press the touch key for the mode of your choice. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking mode will flash, and "- - -" will be displayed. 3. Press either the + or - key. The default temperature will be displayed. 4. To adjust the default temperature for baking, press and hold the TIME • TEMP key. (Press + key to increase the temperature setting, - to decrease). 5. "PRE" and "ON" and the selected cooking mode will appear in the clock display. The oven will begin to heat. If in a convection mode, the convection fan will turn on. Also, the clock display will change from the desired cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting with 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚F increments until the desired temperature is reached. The cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches 200˚F. IMPORTANT: Do not place food inside the oven until the pre-heat cycle is complete (there is no preheat cycle in broil mode). Continued... Temperatures may be set from 135˚ to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and preparation of complete meals. 7 BAKE ON TIMER 1 CLOCK STOP TIME TIMER 2 Example of Display in Bake Mode
