Operational Notes

Certain modes, when selected, will automatically
enter into a preheat and 100°F will appear in
the display. (The temperature display will start
to change once the oven temperature reaches
100°F.) On convection models, the convection fan
will turn on several seconds into the preheat cycle
and remain on until 1 degree before the oven
has reached the set temperature. The control will
beep when the oven is preheated―this will take
approximately 4 to 6 minutes for the upper oven
and 10 to 15 minutes for the lower oven. The display
will then show the set temperature.

Probe Usage
• Preheat operation consists of multiple phases
which are time and/or temperature dependant.
Each phase of preheat utilizes combinations
of bake, broil, and convection elements. For
example, one phase may use the convection
element, convection fan, and the outer broil
element simultaneously. Another phase may
use the inner broil element, convection element,
and the convection fan simultaneously. And
another phase may use the bake element, outer
broil element, and the convection fan.
• The convection fan will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The
convection fan shuts off when the oven door is
opened.
• On convection models, when in bake or timed
baking is used, the bake, broil, and convection
elements cycle during preheat with one element
on at a time. The convection fan also operates
while preheating and will turn off once the set
temperature is reached. Once bake preheat
temperature is reached, the bake and broil
elements cycle for the balance of the bake
operation with one element on at a time.
• On non-convection models, when bake or timed
baking is used, the bake and broil elements
cycle during both the preheat and the baking
operation with one element on at a time.
• In Convection Bake or Convection Roast,
the convection element and the fan operate
whenever the oven is heating.
Preheat
• Timed baking can be used in both ovens at the
Yes
same time.

• Broil will not work if the temperature probe is
Yes
plugged in. Never leave the probe inside the
No
oven during a broil cycle.

• When using the probe, you can use the timer,
Yes
but you cannot use timed oven operations.
No
Yes
• The clean cycle can be set for a minimum of 3
No
hours and a maximum of 5 hours. The default
Yes
setting is 5 hours. The 5 hour set time consists
of 4 hours and 20 minutes of cleaning and 40
minutes of cool down. The door will unlock at an
approximate temperature of 450°F.
• A clean cycle can be set in both ovens at the
same time. The last oven set will automatically
delay its start until the fi rst oven's clean cycle
cools to 400°F.
• When an oven is set to Self Clean, both oven
doors will lock and the cooktop controls will lock
out. The ovens and cooktop cannot be used
when an oven is set to Self Clean.
• When the clean cycle is started, only the broil
unit is on during the fi rst 30 minutes or until the
sensor reaches 750°F. During the balance of the
clean cycle, the oven will cycle between bake
and broil units.
• The convection fan and element do not operate
during the clean cycle.
• Self Clean will not work if the temperature probe
is plugged in or if the Sabbath feature is set.
