Operating Your Range Basic Oven Operation You may use your oven to cook in one of the following modes: ™™ Bake The bake process uses the bottom oven burner to provide conventional baking heat. Temperatures may be set from 125˚F to 500˚F. Use the standard bake mode for single rack baking. ™™ Convection Bake The convection bake process uses the standard bake burner in combination with the convection fan to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven chamber. Temperatures may be set from 125˚F to 500˚F. This type of baking is good for single rack baking in a deep pan, multiple rack baking and roasting. ™™ Broil The ceramic infrared (IR) gas burner on the oven ceiling supplies the heat from the top for broiling. Good for grilling smaller cuts of meat and toasting breads. Broiling is always performed with the door closed. ™™ Convection Broil The convection broil process uses the (IR) gas burner in combination with the convection fan for better heat distribution. Convection broil is good for items that do not need to be flipped such as thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic bread. Convection broiling is always performed with the door closed. IMPORTANT: • Before starting the oven, position the oven rack(s) at the proper height(s). If the oven is warm, use potholders for safety.   IR broil burner igniter     • Before using the oven for the first time, perform the burn-in process on page 7. • Condensation may appear on the oven window or the backguard during the first 10 minutes of operation. This condition is normal. To Bake: 1. Turn the oven control (center) knob on the control panel to the desired baking temperature. Do not turn the knob all the way to the BROIL setting. The oven ON indicator light will illuminate to indicate the oven is on. Within 60 seconds, the bake burner will ignite. Oven burner light on control panel WARNING In broil and convection broil modes, high temperatures (up to 555˚F) are present inside the oven. To avoid the possibility of burns: • Broil only with the oven door completely shut. • After turning the oven knob to BROIL, immediately place the food in the oven and shut the door completely. caution Broiling is a quick cooking process (20 minutes maximum). The range is designed for consumer use conditions only. Do not use it to broil continuously for more than 45 minutes at a time. After 45 minutes in broil mode, turn the oven off and allow it to cool for 30 minutes before broiling again. Leaving the oven in the broil modes for long periods of time may trip the oven's thermal protection circuit, requiring a service call to reset it. 2. For best results, do not place food inside the oven until the oven has preheated to the set temperature. When pre-heated to the set temperature, the oven ON indicator light will begin to turn on and off every few seconds, because the set temperature has been reached and the oven is maintaining it. To Convection Bake: 1. Pre-heat the oven according to the Bake instructions above. 2. Once pre-heated, place the food in the oven. 3. Close the oven door and turn the CONVECTION FAN switch on the right side of the control panel to the "ON" position. Continued... 10
