CONVECTION BROI

L (ERD48 left oven 

only) – 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. 

Broiling is 

performed with the door closed.

PURE CONVECTION™

 (ERD models 

only) – 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˚ 

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.

SELF-CLEAN

 – In the pyrolytic Self-

Clean mode, the oven reaches extreme 

high temperatures, 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

Oven Racks and Supports

Three chrome-plated oven racks are provided. 

Always remember to position the racks prior to 

heating the oven. Also, remove the oven racks 

prior to self-cleaning to prevent permanent 

discoloration of the racks

The porcelain rack supports provide five (5) 

heights for positioning of the oven racks.

To install a rack, align the left and right edges of 

the rack with the horizontal guide rails of the rack 

supports, then slide the rack into the oven

Oven Mode Selection

Follow these steps to operate the oven 

modes:

 

1.  Position oven rack(s) at the proper 

height(s).

2.  Press the touch pad for the modes of 

your choice. The oven will beep once, 

the selected cooking mode will flash, and 

“– – –” will be displayed.

3.  Press either the “+” or “–” pad. The default 

temperature will be displayed.

4.  To adjust the default temperature for 

baking, press and hold the “TIME•TEMP” 

pad. (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. 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. 

NOTE:

Do not place food inside the oven until the 

Preheat cycle is complete.

When the desired temperature is attained, the 

Preheat 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.)

5.  Carefully place the food onto the desired 

rack(s) within the preheated oven. 

6.  It is recommended that a Minute Timer be 

set to time the cooking process.

7.  When the time expires and/or the 

food is done cooking, press the 

“CANCEL•SECURE” pad to turn off the 

oven.

Preheating the Oven

The oven features an automatic Preheat 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 Preheat function. The 

Preheat cycle operates in Standard Bake, Pure 

Convection™ and Convection Bake modes. 

There is no Preheat cycle for the Broil or 

Convection Broil modes.

NOTE:

Allowing the oven to completely pre-heat 

prior to placing food in the oven will avoid 

excessive browning of the food.  After the 

oven signals that the pre-heat is complete, 

allow 3-5 more minutes for the heat patterns 

to normalize in the oven and then place your 

food inside.

Minute Times

The clock features two timers that may be used 

for time cooking or other processes up to 11 

hours, 50 minutes in length.

To use the Minute Timer function, follow 

these steps:

1.  Press the touch pad labeled “TIMER 1”, or 

“TIMER 2”. The clock will display “00:00”, 

and “TIMER 1”, or  

“TIMER 2” will flash.

2.  Press the “+” pad until the desired time is 

displayed on the clock.

3.  After “TIMER 1” has expired, the clock 

will sound off with one second beeps and 

“TIMER 1” will appear in the display. After 

the “TIMER 2” minute timer has expired, 

the clock will sound alternating one and 

two second beeps and “TIMER 2” will 

appear in the display. The beeper can be 

silenced by pressing the “TIMER” touch 

pad while the beeper is sounding.
