Timed Cooking
Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain

Dehydrating
(on convection models, closed door)
Dehydration is a method used to preserve food. Various factors,
such as the quality of the fresh food, pretreatment techniques,
the size and thickness of the food, and the climate may affect the
finished product.
During dehydration, heat is used to force out moisture and air
circulation is used to carry the moisture away.
Refer to a reliable book or source for complete information about
dehydrating and preserving foods.
To Dehydrate:
Position the racks according to the following chart. See
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for diagram.
1. Close the oven door.
2. Touch OPTIONS then 5.
3. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.
4. Touch the number key to enter a temperature other than
140°F (60°C). The dehydrating range can be set between
100°F and 200°F (38°C and 93°C).
5. Touch START.
6. Touch OFF, UPPER OVEN OFF or, on some models, LOWER
OVEN OFF when finished dehydrating.
NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after 12 hours.
However, some foods may take more than 12 hours to dehydrate.
If this is the case, the oven will need to be restarted.
WARNING
