1. Upper oven

3. Lower oven
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will
cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.
Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn
near the oven vent.

Temperature Management System
ACCUBAKE
The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
If the lower oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the
broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will
turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
lower oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5°
increments.
When the set temperature is reached and the oven is
preheated, if enabled, one tone will sound.

Convection Baking and Roasting

1. Broil element
2. Convection fan
3. Bake element
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the lower oven door is opened during convection baking or
roasting, the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and
the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back
on once the door is closed.
For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with
this oven for more information.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks
according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.
When roasting with CONV BAKE, use the roasting rack on top of
the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to
