Starting Your Oven
1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.
2. Determine the best cooking mode for the type of food
to be cooked. Select from the following:
◊ CONVECTION BAKE - A combination
of the convection fan and a bottom heat
source. Good for single rack items in a deep pan.
◊ CONVECTION BROIL - A combina-
tion of the convection fan and a top
heat source. Good for items that do not need to
be flipped, such as thinner cuts of meat, fish and
garlic bread.
◊ PURE CONVECTION™ - Uses convection
cooking only for even heat. Use for baked
goods and multiple rack cooking.
◊ BAKE - Cooks with a bottom heat source
only. Commonly used for basic recipes.
◊ BROIL - Cooks using a top heat source
alone. Use for grilling smaller cuts of meat or
toasting bread.
◊ CONVECTION ROAST - Combines top
and bottom heat sources with the con-
vection fan. Best for rib roasts, turkeys,
chickens, etc.
See pages 11 to 13 for detailed descriptions of
the various cooking modes.
IMPORTANT
The broil modes will not work when the meat probe
is connected.
3. Press the key for the desired cooking mode. The
preset (jump-in) temperature for that mode will
appear on the display along with the symbol(s) for the
selected cooking mode (see above).
4. To cook at the preset temperature, press START. To
cook at a different temperature enter it (for example
4-2-5) on the number keypad, then press START.
You can enter any temperature between 100°F and
555°F. The suggested broil temperature is 555°F.
5. If you are using Pure Convection or one of the bake or
roast modes, “PRE-” for preheating, along with the
current oven temperature will appear on the display
until the oven reaches the set temperature. Once the
oven reaches the set temperature (usually in 10
minutes), it will beep and “PRE-” will disappear.
Carefully place your food in the oven. Excessive
browning will occur if you put the food in too soon.
