    Functions and Settings These functions allow you to customize the oven controls to suit your specific tastes. The following oven settings are available: Degree Format The oven has been preset to the Fahrenheit temperature scale. With this feature, users can switch to the Celsius temperature scale.

  • Page 14: Using The Oven

    Using the Oven Preheat For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature.

  • Page 15: Conventional And Convection Cooking

    Using the Oven Conventional and Convection Cooking 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.

  • Page 16: Condensation

    Using the Oven Condensation The oven is supplied with a system which provides a natural circulation of air. In most cases, this natural circulation will eliminate any observed condensation. However, there will be instances where condensation is observed. This is NOT a sign that the oven is not working properly.

  • Page 17: Baking

    Using the Oven BAKE (Two-Element Bake) Full 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. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner.

  • Page 21: Roasting

    Roasting CONV ROAST (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside large roasts. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc. Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings.

    Broiling 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.
