major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare
food in quantity using multiple racks—a feature not
possible in a standard oven.
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.
TRU CONV
(TruConvec™)
The rear element only
operates at full power.
There is no direct heat
from the bottom or top
elements. The motorized
fan in the rear of the
oven circulates air in the
oven cavity for even
heating. (continued on following panel)

TRU CONV

Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such
as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads, and cakes.
Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly
textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is
required. Use this function for single rack baking, multiple
rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals.

quantities of baked goods at one time.
CONV ROAST
(Convection
Roast)
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. This transfer of
heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture
inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over
existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this setting
for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.
CONV BROIL
(Convection Broil)
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 meats.
HI BROIL
Heat radiates from both
broil elements, located
in the top of the oven
cavity, at full power. The
distance between the
foods and the broil
elements determines
broiling speed. For fast
broiling, food may be as
close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element. Fast broiling is
best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired.
Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil
elements pulse on and
off to produce less heat
for slow broiling. Allow
about 4 inches (10 cm)
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. Use this setting for broiling small and average
cuts of meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses only a
fraction of the available
power to the inner broil
element for delicate
top-browning. The
inner broil element is
on for only part of the
time. Use this setting
to gently brown
meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to
dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the
oven; contact a local store handling speciality cooking
utensils).
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the
selector to "TRU CONV".
Convection Defrost
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to "OFF".
3. Turn the selector to "TRU CONV".
Meat Probe Function
The meat probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the ideal internal temperature.
The probe temperature setting is used to
automatically turn the oven off when the internal
temperature of the meat being roasted is reached.
Self-Clean Cycle
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order
to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in
the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean
cycle. See Use and Care Manual for self-clean
cycle instructions.
