Oven Mode Selection

Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard 

bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:

Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

1. 

Press the 

2. 

baKe

pure ConveCtIon

 or 

ConveCtIon 

baKe

 key. the oven will beep once, the selected cooking 

mode will flash, and 

“– – –”

 will be displayed.

Press either the 

3. 

“+”

 or 

“–”

 key. the default temperature of 

350˚F will be displayed.
To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and 

4. 

hold the 

TIME • TEMP

 key. (Press 

“+”

 key to increase the 

temperature setting, “–” to decrease). 

“pre”

 and 

“on”

 will 

appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat. 

the convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oven 

temperature during pre-heat. in standard bake mode, the 

convection fan will turn off once the desired temperature 

is attained. if in a convection mode, the convection fan will 

turn on. also, the clock display will change from the desired 

cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting 

with 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚F 

increments until the desired temperature is reached. the 

cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches 

200˚F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heat 

cycle is complete. the clock will beep once and 

“pre”

 and 

“on”

 will disappear from the display. (From this time forward, 

the 

“on”

 display will cycle on and off with the heating 

elements.)
Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the 

5. 

pre-heated oven. 
it is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the 

6. 

cooking process (see page 11).
when the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press 

7. 

the  

CANCEL • SECURE

 key to turn off the oven.

pre-heating the oven

the oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly 

brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing 

a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven will 

automatically perform the pre-heat function. the pre-heat cycle 

operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake 

modes. there is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broil 

modes.

note:

For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during 

• 

pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior to 

placing food inside.

peratIon

standard baKe

 – in standard bake mode, the bottom 

heating element provides conventional radiant heat. 

Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F 

increments. use standard bake for single rack baking and 

roasting.

standard broIl

 – the high wattage, top heating 

element supplies the heat in Broil mode. the broil 

temperature is adjustable from 135˚F, to the “HI” setting 

(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling 

is always performed with the door closed.

ConveCtIon broIl

 – the high wattage, top heating 

element supplies the heat in broil mode in combination with 

the convection fan for better heat distribution. the broil 

temperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the “HI” setting 

(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. This 

mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and 

MCD230. Convection broil is always performed with the 

door closed.

pure ConveCtIon

 – in Pure Convection mode a third 

heating element, encircling the convection fan located in 

the rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source. 

the convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then 

forces it across the hot convection heating element. the 

heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through 

the convection baffle. the baffle distributes the heated air 

evenly to ensure uniform results. temperatures may be 

set from 135

˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode 

for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and 

preparation of complete meals.

ConveCtIon baKe

 – in this combination convection-

radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. as 

in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle 

combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven 

chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F 

in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, 

multiple rack baking and roasting.

temperature probe

 – the temperature probe can be 

used in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection, 

or convection bake modes. the temperature probe takes 

the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact 

internal temperature you desire. the temperature range 

that the probe will read is from 100˚F to 200˚F.

self-Clean

 – in the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven 

reaches temperatures of 850˚F, thereby burning off oven 

soil automatically. the self-clean time is adjustable up to 

four hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can be 

successfully removed. also, the self-clean cycle can be 

delayed to start at a later time if desired.
