Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting
until turned off.
When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate.
All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will
sound, and the display will not indicate temperature changes.
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will
not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on
or off immediately.
To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability (One Time Only):
1. Press SETTINGS/CLOCK until "SABBATH" is displayed.
"OFF. Press (1) for On" will scroll in the display.
2. Press the "1" keypad. "ON. Press (1) for Off" will scroll in the
display. Sabbath mode can be activated for baking.
3. Press START or CANCEL to exit and display the time of day.
NOTE: To disable the Sabbath mode, repeat steps 1
through 3 to change the status from "SABBATH ON"
to "SABBATH OFF."
To Activate Sabbath Mode:
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the number keypads to set a temperature other
than 350°F (177°C).
3. Press START.
For timed cooking in Sabbath Mode, press COOK TIME
and then the number keypads to set the desired cook time.
Press START.
4. Press SETTINGS/CLOCK. Three tones will sound. Then
press "7." "SAb" will appear in the display.
To Adjust Temperature (When Sabbath Mode Is Running):
1. Press the number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual
oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset
the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This
ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven
will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the
preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before
the tone sounds.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
1 standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Power
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power
Preheat. Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control
prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press
POWER PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed
before placing food in the oven. When the Power Preheat cycle
is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Power Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The temperature management 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 or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be
cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the
best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven
is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before
putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting
food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position
food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack
6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware"
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the "Accessories" section.
