TruConv c™
With this function, only the rear
element operates at full power.
There is no irect heat from the
bottom or top elements, an
the motorize fan in the rear of
the oven circulates for even
heating. Use this setting for
foo s that require gentle
cooking, such as pastries,
soufflés, yeast brea s, quick
brea s, an cakes. This setting
pro uces brea s, cookies, an
other bake goo s with an
even texture an gol en crusts. No special bakeware is require . Use this
function for single-rack baking, multiple-rack baking, roasting, an preparation
of complete meals. This setting is also recommen e when preparing large
quantities of bake goo s at one time.
Conv ction Bak
With this function, the bottom
element operates at full power,
an the top broil element
operates at supplemental
power. The motorize fan in the
rear of the oven circulates
heate air, provi ing a more
even heat istribution. This
even circulation of air equalizes
the temperature throughout
the oven cavity an eliminates
the hot an col spots foun in
conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to
prepare foo in larger quantities using multiple racks. When roasting using this
setting, cool air is quickly replace , searing meats on the outsi e an retaining
more juices an natural flavor on the insi e with less shrinkage. With this
heating metho , foo s can be bake an roaste at the same time with
minimal taste transfer, even when ifferent ishes are involve , such as cakes,
fish, or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen
foo . Use this setting for baking an roasting.

Conv ction Broil
Using this function, the top
element operates at full
power. This function is exactly
the same as regular broiling
with the a itional benefit of
air circulation by the
motorize fan in the rear of
the oven. Smoke is re uce
since the airflow also re uces
peak temperatures on the
foo . Use this setting for
broiling thick cuts of meat.
Conv ction Roast
With this function, the
convection element runs in
conjunction with the inner
an outer broil elements.
The reversible convection
fan runs at a higher spee
in each irection, allowing
the moisture to be seale
insi e large cuts of meat,
such as roasts. This saves
time when compare with
single fan convection roast
mo es. Use this setting for
whole turkeys, whole
chickens, an 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 motorize fan in the
rear of the oven circulates air. This fan accelerates natural
efrosting of the foo 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 motorize fan in the rear of the oven
circulates warm air. Over a perio of time, the water is
remove from the foo by evaporation. Removal of water
inhibits growth of microorganisms an retar s the activity
of enzymes. It is important to remember that ehy ration
oes not improve quality; only fresh, top-quality foo s
shoul be ehy rate in your oven.
S lf-Cl an
The self-cleaning cycle is esigne to eliminate the nee
for scrubbing an scouring foo bake onto the oven
interior. During this cycle, the oven uses high temperatures
to burn off soils an eposits. An integral smoke eliminator
re uces o ors associate with the soil burn-off. A pow er
ash resi ue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle. When the oven has
coole , remove any ash from oven surfaces with a amp
sponge or cloth.
Auto Roast*
This function further simplifies roasting by automatically
searing the outsi e of meats, raising the pre-set
temperature by 100° F for a short time to sear the outsi e
of the meat. The temperature then returns to the pre-set
temperature in the stan ar convection roast mo e.
