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, 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 is. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. n 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. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Convection Cooking Convection (Fan) cooking cycles the bake burner on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. 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 cooking, the bake and broil burners and convection element cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, 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. Convection (True) and 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. Proofing Bread Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise. To Proof: Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door. NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), "Oven Cooling" will be displayed until the temperature is less than 120°F (49°C). 1. Press PROOF. 2. Press the Start keypad. Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity. 3. Press the Cancel keypad when finished proofing. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover. NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the display will indicate "Oven Cooling" until the temperature is below 120°F (49°C). Cook Time (on some models) 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 BROIL, or press CONVECT until the desired convection mode appears on the display. 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 the Start keypad. The display will count down the time. When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. 6. Press the Cancel keypad to clear the display. To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE or BROIL, or press CONVECT until the desired convection mode appears on the display. 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. Press number keypads to enter the length of time to cook. 4. Press DELAY START. 5. Press the number keypads to enter the number of hours and/or minutes you want to delay the start time. 6. Press the Start keypad. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed anytime after pressing the Start keypad by repeating steps 2 through 7. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. 7. Press the Cancel keypad to clear the display. 14
