A beep will alert you to check the food's doneness before the cook time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end the cycle. Preheating When START is pressed, "LO" will be displayed and the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) will be approximately 10-15 minutes, depending upon the model. Rapid Preheat Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. Press RAPID PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press RAPID PREHEAT. The Preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven and should be used only for one-rack baking. When the Power Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle. Broiling When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. ■■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See the "Accessories" section. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Convection Cooking TimeSavor™ ranges Convection (Fan) cooking cycles the bake burner on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. TimeSavor™ Plus Convection (True) cooking adds an electric ring element around the fan to provide more even heating and enables baking with three racks at one time. 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. IMPORTANT: With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) for convection cooking. During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes into any convection cycle. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed. NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling. TimeSavor™ Plus Convection (True) and TimeSavor™ Convection (Fan) When convection baking, broiling, or roasting, enter your normal baking temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C). Convect Options Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry Cook Time WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. To Set a Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE, or press CONVECT once for Convection Baking or twice for Convection Roasting. 2. Press the number keypads to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. 3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light up. 4. Press the number keypads to enter the length of time to cook. 5. Press START. The display will count down the time. When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. 6. Press CANCEL to clear the display. To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE, or press CONVECT once for Convection Baking or twice for Convection Roasting. 2. Press the number keypads to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. 3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light up. 4. Press number keypads to enter the length of time to cook. 5. Press START TIME. The start time/delay oven indicator light will light up. 6. Press number keypads to enter the number of hours and/or minutes you want to delay the start time. 7. Press START. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed anytime after pressing Start by repeating steps 1-7. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. 8. Press CANCEL to clear the display. 13
