Bak
When using this function
full-power heat is radiated
from the bake element in
the bottom of the oven
cavity while supplemental
heat is radiated from the
broil element. This function
is recommended for single-
rack baking. Use this setting
for baking roasting and
casseroles.
Broil
This function is a dry-heat
cooking method using
direct or radiant heat on
three different settings: low
medium and high. The
distance between the
foods and the broil
elements determines
broiling speed. This
function is recommended
for small individualized
cuts such as steaks chops
and patties.

TruConv c™
With this function only the rear
element operates at full power.
There is no direct heat from the
bottom or top elements and
the motorized fan in the rear of
the oven circulates for even
heating. Use this setting for
foods that require gentle
cooking such as pastries
soufflés yeast breads quick
breads and cakes. This setting
produces breads cookies and
other baked goods with an even texture and golden crusts. No special
bakeware is required. Use this function for single-rack baking multiple-rack
baking roasting and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also
recommended when preparing large quantities of baked goods at one time.
Conv ction Bak
With this function the bottom
element operates at full power
and the top broil element
operates at supplemental
power.Themotorizedfaninthe
rear of the oven circulates
heated air providing a more
even heat distribution. This
even circulation of air equalizes
the temperature throughout
the oven cavity and eliminates
the hot and cold spots found in
conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to
prepare food in larger quantities using multiple racks. When roasting using this
setting cool air is quickly replaced searing meats on the outside and retaining
more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. With this
heating method foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with
minimal taste transfer even when different dishes are involved such as cakes
fish or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen
food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.

Touch Pad Functions Touch Pad Functions
Conv ction Broil
Using this function the top
element operates at full
power. This function is
exactly the same as regular
broiling with the additional
benefit of air circulation by
the motorized fan in the
rear of the oven. Smoke is
reduced since the airflow
also reduces peak
temperatures on the food.
Use this setting for broiling
thick cuts of meat.
Conv ction Roast
With this function the
convection element runs in
conjunction with the inner
and outer broil elements.
The reversible convection
fan runs at a higher speed
in each direction allowing
the moisture to be sealed
inside large cuts of meat
such as roasts. This saves
time when compared with
single fan convection roast
modes. Use this setting for
whole turkeys whole
chickens and roasts.
NOTE: Because t is function uses a ig -speed convection fan for
optimum cooking performance, some noise may be noticed from t is
ig fan speed. T is is normal.
D frost
With the temperature control off a motorized fan in the
rear of the oven circulates air. This fan accelerates natural
defrosting of the food without heat.
NOTE: To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow
defrosted food to remain in t e oven for more t an
two ours.

D hydrat
With this function a motorized fan in the rear of the oven
circulates warm air. Over a period of time the water is
removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water
inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity
of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehydration
does not improve quality; only fresh top-quality foods
should be dehydrated in your oven.
S lf-Cl an
The self-cleaning cycle is designed to eliminate the need
for scrubbing and scouring food baked onto the oven
interior. During this cycle the oven uses high
temperatures to burn off soils and deposits. An integral
smoke eliminator reduces odors associated with the soil
burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the
oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. When the
oven has cooled remove any ash from oven surfaces with
a damp sponge or cloth.
Auto Roast*
This function further simplifies roasting by automatically
searing the outside of meats raising the pre-set
temperature by 100° F for a short time to sear the outside
of the meat. The temperature then returns to the pre-set
temperature in the standard convection roast mode.
M at Prob *
The probe temperature function is used to automatically
turn the oven off when the internal temperature of meat
being cooked is reached.
