To avoid risk of personal injury or electrical shock, do not
ground through neutral wire if installation is in a mobile
home or if local codes do not permit grounding through a
neutral.
Improperconnections of aluminum housewiring to
copperlead can resultin property damage, personal
injury or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining
coppertoaluminum and follow manufacturers'
recommendedprocedureclosely.
1. Withovenpositioned in frontof cabinet opening,
connect wire leads extending from conduit to junction
box. Verify neutral (white) wire is connected to
appropriate terminal. Check local code to see which
option should be used in grounding unit.

Cooking Methods
Operation
Bake
Upper and lower elements operate during bake. Upper
element is only used to heat oven quickly and brown
top of food. Bake can be used to cook foods which are
normally baked. Oven must be preheated.
Broil
Upper element operates during broil. Broil can be used
to cook foods which are normally broiled. Preheating is
not required when using broil. All foods should be
turned at least once except fish, which does not need
to be turned.
Convection Bake
Upper element, lower element, and fan operate during
convection bake. Upper element is only used to heat
oven quickly and brown top of food. Convection bake
should be used for cooking casseroles and roasting
meats. Oven should be preheated for best results when
using convection bake. Pans do not need to be
staggered. Cooks approximately 25% quicker than
bake.
Convection Broil
Upper element and fan operate when using convection
broil. Convection broil can be used to cook foods that
are normally broiled. Oven does not require preheating
when using convection broil. Food does not need to be
turned during cooking when using convection roasting
rack. Cooks approximately 25% quicker than broil.
EvenAir™ Convection Plus
Rear element and fan operate during convection.
Convection should be used for cooking pastries,
souffles, yeast bread, cakes and cookies. Oven should
be preheated for best results when using convection.
Upper and lower elements operate during preheat.
Pans do not need to be staggered. Cooks
approximately 25% quicker than bake.
Slo-Cook™, Hold
Uses lower element. Slo-Cook™ feature sets oven
temperature to cook like a crock pot (approx. 225ºF) for
up to 12 hours.
The hold feature holds the oven at a low temperature
(approx. 170ºF) for 1 hour to keep food warm.
Dehydrate
Uses rear element and convection fan at low oven
temperature (approx. 170ºF). Dehydration is an
excellent way to preserve fresh foods.
Defrost
Uses convection fan only. Defrost feature is an
excellent way to thaw large food items like a turkey.

WARNING
!
To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with foil.
• Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to burner
causing a fire.
• Neverleaveovenunattendedwhilebroiling.
Overcookingmay result in a fire.
Broiling Tips
• Removeexcess fat from meat before broiling. Cut
edgesof meat toprevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is
hot, food sticks.
• All food except fish should be turned at least one time.
Begin broiling with skin side down.
• Seasonmeat after it has browned.
• Broilingdoesnot require preheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in Broiling
Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack position.
Broiling or Convection Broiling
Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using
a special reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on
thefood; searing in natural juices and providing

Prepare for Slo-Cook™
Facts and Hints to Remember
•Amana’s Slo-Cook™ feature simulates a traditional
crockpot by cooking food slowly at a low temperature.
• Slo-Cook™providesenhanced flavor and tenderness,
since food is cooked slowly at low temperature.
•Meats cooked at low temperature shrink less and are
more tender, thus allowing less expensive cuts of meat
to be used.
• Slo-Cook™time for meat varys depending on
distributionand amount of fat, bone,weight, and
shape.
•Meats may be placed on Slo-Cook™ trivet to avoid
saturation of juices and to brown.
•Dairy products such as milk, cheese, sour cream,
andcondensed cream soups have a tendency to
separate,break down, and mix with other ingredients
duringSlo-Cook™.
•Fresh vegetables tend to discolor or turn dark during
Slo-Cook™. Discolorationcan be avoided by using
frozenorblanchedvegetables.
•Spices areenhanced and liquids donot boil away
whencooked slowly at low temperature.
• Foodflavors are not mixed when cooked in the oven in
separate,covered dishes. Covered dishes generally
cookmore evenly andretain moisture.
• Mixing, cooking, and serving an entire meal in the
sameoven-proof glass or stoneware canbe
accomplishedwith the Slo-Cook™feature.
• Astandard oven cavity allowsfour rack positions for
placingdishes in oven forSlo-Cook™.
•No preheating of oven is necessary before using the
Slo-Cook™feature.
