OVEN USE
Setting the 12” Oven for Baking (48” Models Only)
To use the 12” Oven to bake (smaller oven on left side), simply push in the “BAKE” button on the valve panel,
above the oven knob over the small oven and turn the control knob to the temperature used in the recipe.
1. With the thermostat knob “OFF”, Press BAKE selector button.
2. Set desired temperature on thermostat dial.
The “OVEN ON” light turns on.
The “HEATING” light turns on.
Once the “HEATING” light cycles off the first time, the oven “READY” light will come “On” after the oven is
preheated. As the oven cools, the “READY” light will go out and the “HEATING” light will come back on. This
process repeats when heat is needed.
The “OVEN ON” light remains on until the “OFF” Selector button has been pushed, or the Thermostat has
been turned to the “OFF” position.
Setting the 24” & 27” Oven for Baking
Decide if you are going to use BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE. These cooking modes are for baking, roasting or
warming using one, two or three racks. If you are going to use regular Bake, simply push in the “BAKE” button
on the valve panel, above the large oven knob and turn the control knob to the temperature used in the recipe.
To use Convection Bake, push the Convection button (located on the control panel) and turn the control knob to
the temperature desired.
When the "Bake, Broil or Convection Bake" selector button is pressed you will hear a cooling fan begin to
operate and feel an air current above the oven door. This air current serves to keep the control area above the
oven cooler during open door operation.
1. Press BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE Selector button.
The convection fan will turn on only when “CONVECTION BAKE” is selected.
2. Set desired Temperature on Thermostat Dial.
The “OVEN ON” light turns on.
The “HEATING” light turns on.
Once the “HEATING” light cycles off the first time, the oven “READY” light will come “On” after the oven is
preheated. As the oven cools, the “READY” light will go out and the “HEATING” light will come back on.
This process repeats when heat is needed.
The “OVEN ON” light remains on until the “OFF” Selector button has been pushed, or the Thermostat has
been turned to the “OFF” position.
BROIL
Broiling is cooking by intense infrared radiation supplied by the broil element located at the top of the oven.
Since broiling is cooking by radiant heat, the convection fan in the broil mode is disabled. Place the broil pan in
the center of the rack for best results.
Foods Suitable for Broil
Top Browning: Casseroles, Breads Appetizers Meats Poultry Fish
Setting the Oven for Broiling
Turn the control knob clockwise to the broil setting (see Fig. 13). When the "Bake, Broil or Convection Bake"
selector button is pressed you will hear a cooling fan begin to operate and feel an air current above the oven
door. This air current serves to keep the control area above the oven cooler during open door operation. The
cooling fan must be running for the broiler to operate. The heater element will heat. The “Oven On” indicator
light will come on to let you know that the broiler is currently on. During the broiling process, the broil element
produces such an intense heat that it will cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe interior cooking
environment. This cycling process is indicated by the turning on and off of the HEATING and READY indicator
lights on the valve panel. All broiling must be done with the oven door closed. This will insure the best in
