If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.

9. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause
the container to explode and result in injury.
10. Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
11. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
12. Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the front
of the oven and vents into the room.
13. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
14. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as
aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Keep oven free from grease buildup.
15. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven
racks, rack supports, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean other parts. A fan noise should be heard during the cleaning
cycle If not, call service before self-cleaning again.
16. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark
in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door
window.

For "slow" broiling, allow about 4 inches between
the top surface of the food and the broil element.
"Slow" broiling is best for chicken and ham in
order to broil food without over-browning it.
CCoonnvveeccttiioonnBBrrooiill
Exactly the same as regular broiling with
additional benefit of air circulation by the
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The cool air
is quickly replaced-improving the already high
performance of the broil element. Especially
useful for broiling thick cuts of meat.
With the selector set to TruConvecTM and the
temperature control on 150 F, warm air is
circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the
oven. 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 the
quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be
used.
With the selector set to convection cook and the
temperature control off, air is circulated by a
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without
heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do not
allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for
more than two hours.
This oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle.
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated
temperatures in order 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.

TTwwoo--EElleemmeennttBBaakkeeFull power heat is radiated from the bake element
in the bottom of the oven cavity, and
supplemental heat is radiated from the broil
element. This function is recommended for single
rack baking and roasting
Exactly the same as regular baking with the
additional benefit of air circulation. The heated air
is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the
oven. It provides more even heat distribution
throughout the oven cavity for all uses. Multiple
rack use is possible for the largest baking jobs.
When roasting, cool air is quickly replaced-searing
meats on the outside and retaining more juices
and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage.
The rear element only operates at full power.
There is no direct heat from the bottom or top
elements. Air in the oven cavity is circulated by
the fan for even heating. Use this setting for
foods which require gentle cooking such as
pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads and
cakes. Use this function for single rack baking,
multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of
complete meals.
In Maxi-Broil heat is radiated from both broil
elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at
full power. Broiling speed is determined by the
distance between the foods and the broil
elements. For "fast" broiling, food may be as
close as 2 inches to the broil element or on the
top rack. "Fast" broiling is best for meats where
"rare to medium" doneness is desired. The Mini-
Broil setting is designed for "slow" broiling. Only
the center broil element operates for partial
power.

The MIN/SEC Timer is designed for accurate timing and is ideal for baking
delicate items such as biscuits, cookies, and popovers, and for precise
broiling. The MIN/SEC timer can be used at the same time the Bake Hours
or Start Time functions are in use. It can be used for timing up to 24 hours.
When setting the Timer, the time displayed will increase in 1 minute
increments. When the Timer counts down to 1 minute, the timer alarm will
give two short beeps and the display changes from hours:minutes to
seconds only.

TTiimmeerrAAllaarrmm
At the end of a MIN/SEC Timer program or Bake Hours program, the alarm
will consist of three beeps followed by two beeps every 10 seconds until
the MIN/SEC Timer button is pressed. Whenever a valid function key is
pressed or when a control function starts automatically, one beep will be
sounded. When an invalid function key is pressed, two beeps will be
sounded.

The Electronic Timing Center is used to program and control all timing
functions. It has five display and programming modes that are activated by
the four push buttons and the Set Knob. Both the Bake Hours mode and
the MIN/SEC Timer mode can be used to time cooking periods. These
features can even be used at the same time when both ovens are in use.
However, only Bake Hours and Self-Cleaning modes shut the oven off
automatically when the timed program is over. For example, you can time
bake a casserole in the upper oven using the Bake Hours mode, while
broiling in the lower oven using the MIN/SEC Timer. One oven can also be
cleaned while timing foods in the other oven using the MIN/SEC Timer.

WWAARRNNIINNGG: To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time
baking:
-Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such as
dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry, or foods
with stuffing.
-Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or
frozen before it is placed in the oven.
-Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when automatic
time baking. They will not rise properly.
-Do not allow food to remain in the oven for more than two hours after the
end of the cooking cycle.
OOVVEENNFFUUNNCCTTIIOONNSSEELLEECCTTOORR
Each oven has a separate oven function selector. There are seven
settings on each selector.
•BAKE:
The bottom element operates at full power, and the top broil element
operates at supplemental power. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and
casseroles.
•CONVECTION BAKE:

Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks All ovens have six rack
positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the
closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged
at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, do not use
more than one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two
racks, to bake with the racks on positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
TTooBBaakkee::
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE heating the
oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and
4 or positions 3 and 5.
2. Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking starts
immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector is turned to
OFF.
3. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.
4. Place the food in the oven after the Oven Indicator light goes out.
PPaannPPllaacceemmeennttTTiippss
•When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the
rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
•When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one of
the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th position or the 3rd and 5th
position for more even baking. When baking on three racks, use any
combination of positions 2,3, 4, and 5 for more consistent results.
•Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are
used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly above
another.
•Allow 1½ to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for
even air circulation.

Preheating the oven is not necessary when using temperatures below 250 F.
For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat the oven when
baking cakes and other items that have critical baking temperatures. After
the temperature control has been set, the Oven Indicator light goes out
when the oven reaches that temperature. Preheating takes no longer than
10 -15 minutes. Preheat times will be greater in those areas in which the
electrical supply is less than 240 volts.

Conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes which require
a high temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the
conventional manner. This bake setting is only recommended for single
rack baking.

Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated air
circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulation of this air
equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the
hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This feature can make a
significant difference in foods prepared in the oven. A major benefit of
convection baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity. The uniform air
circulation makes this possible . . . a feature not possible in a standard oven.
With this heating system, the air is distributed evenly throughout the oven
by the convection fan. The heat therefore reaches the food to be baked or
roasted more quickly. 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.

In TruConvecTM cooking, the rear element only operates at full power. There
is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements. The heated air is
circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Breads, cookies,
and other baked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts. No
special bakeware is required.

4. Do not open the door frequently during baking. Look through the door
window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open the
door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.
5. Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the
center of the product should come clean` when done.
6. Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best
results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in
shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old,
darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans
heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in
quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can be
prepared on two or three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes,
cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience foods.
For 3 rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top. For 2 rack
baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some
foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake
setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when
preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other foods that
are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. This is perfectly
normal.
1. As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes,
reduce the temperature by 25 F and the cooking time by approximately
10 to 15%.
2. Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection
modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe
in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the
convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is not
prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only
one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position, or
temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting one
recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.
3. Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
