You may use your oven to cook in one of the
following modes:
Bake
The bake process uses the bottom oven burner
to provide conventional baking heat. Tempera-
tures may be set from 125˚F to 500˚F. Use the
standard bake mode for single rack baking.
Convection Bake
The convection bake process uses the standard
bake burner in combination with the convection
fan to circulate heated air evenly throughout the
oven chamber. Temperatures may be set from
125˚F to 500˚F. This type of baking is good for
single rack baking in a deep pan, multiple rack
baking and roasting.
Broil
The ceramic infrared (IR) gas burner on the oven
ceiling supplies the heat from the top for broil-
ing. Good for grilling smaller cuts of meat and
toasting breads. Broiling is always performed
with the door closed.
Convection Broil
The convection broil process uses the (IR) gas
burner in combination with the convection fan
for better heat distribution. Convection broil is
good for items that do not need to be flipped
such as thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic
bread. Convection broiling is always performed
with the door closed.
WARNING
In broil and convection broil modes, high temperatures
(up to 555˚F) are present inside the oven. To avoid the
possibility of burns:
Broil only with the oven door completely shut.•
After turning the oven knob to • BROIL, immediately
place the food in the oven and shut the door
completely.
CAUTION
Broiling is a quick cooking process (20 minutes
maximum). The range is designed for consumer use
conditions only. Do not use it to broil continuously for
more than 45 minutes at a time. After 45 minutes in broil
mode, turn the oven off and allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before broiling again. Leaving the oven in the broil modes
for long periods of time may trip the oven’s thermal
protection circuit, requiring a service call to reset it.
Operating Your Range
IMPORTANT:
Before starting the oven, position the oven
rack(s) at the proper height(s). If the oven is
warm, use potholders for safety.
Before using the oven for the first time, perform
the burn-in process on page 7.
Condensation may appear on the oven window
or the backguard during the first 10 minutes of
operation. This condition is normal.
To Bake:
Turn the oven control (center) knob on the con-1.
trol panel to the desired baking temperature. Do
not turn the knob all the way to the BROIL set-
ting. The oven ON indicator light will illuminate
to indicate the oven is on. Within 60 seconds,
the bake burner will ignite.
For best results, do not place food inside the 2.
oven until the oven has preheated to the set
temperature. When pre-heated to the set tem-
perature, the oven ON indicator light will begin
to turn on and off every few seconds, because
the set temperature has been reached and the
oven is maintaining it.
To Convection Bake:
Pre-heat the oven according to the 1. Bake
instructions above.
Once pre-heated, place the food in the oven.2.
Close the oven door and turn the 3. CONVECTION
FAN switch on the right side of the control panel
to the “ON” position.
