BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the oven. Operate the oven at 480°F for 45 minutes in Convection H
OT
AIR Mode. Perform CONFIGURATION MODE PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL, pages 30 31.
OPERATION
WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR
SERVICING THE OVEN. THE COOKING COMPARTMENT CONTAINS LIVE STEAM. STAY CLEAR
WHEN OPENING DOOR.
DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING
The oven door is equipped with an electrically powered lock. The oven is delivered with the door
latched and slightly open (Fig. 3) and can be opened by firmly pulling the door handle (Fig. 5). Push
the door until it connects with the latch but remains slightly open (Fig. 3). This is the position the door
should be in when the oven is not in use. The door should also be in this position after cooking to allow
steam to escape before fully opening the door. Push the handle until it is in line with the oven door.
If power has been connected, the door will now lock automatically, sealing the oven chamber (Fig. 4).
To release the door, rotate (pull) the handle 90 degrees. The door automatically releases to the
'latched and slightly opened' position. Allow a few seconds for steam to escape before pulling the door
open (Fig. 5).
NOTE: If the ON button is pushed after the oven is turned on, the door will be latched but slightly open
(Fig. 3) for three seconds; the handle can be released by rotating 90 degrees as shown in Fig. 5. If the
handle is not released within the three second interval, the door will automatically re-close.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the door may be opened by pulling the handle firmly towards
you while firmly pressing against the front of the oven with the other hand (avoid hot air contact).
GREASE FILTER
The grease filter in the rear of the oven chamber should be in place when roasting meat items but may
be removed before baking items that do not produce grease-laden vapors. See Cleaning, page 27,
for information on how to remove the grease filter.
