Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt
or burn near the oven vent.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting
until turned off.
When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate.
All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will
sound and the displays will not indicate temperature changes.
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability (One Time Only):
1.
Press OPTIONS/CLOCK until “SABBATH” is displayed. “OFF.
Press (1) for On” will scroll in the display.
2.
Press the “1” keypad. “ON. Press (1) for Off” will scroll in the
display. Sabbath mode can be activated for baking.
3.
Press START or CANCEL to exit and display the time of day.
NOTE:
To disable the Sabbath mode, repeat steps 1 through 3
to change the status from “SABBATH ON” to “SABBATH OFF.”
To Activate Sabbath Mode:
1.
Press BAKE.
2.
Press the number keypad to set a temperature other than
350°F (177°C).
3.
Press START.
For timed cooking in Sabbath mode, press COOK TIME, and
then the number keypads to set the desired cook time.
4.
Press OPTIONS/CLOCK. Three tones will sound. Then press
“7.” “SAb” will appear in the display.
To Adjust Temperature (When Sabbath Mode Is Running):
1.
Press the number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text
to select the new temperature.
NOTE:

Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual
oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset
the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This
ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven
will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the
Preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before
the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE:
On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise
temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven
is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before
putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting
food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position
food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
IMPORTANT:
Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack
6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the “Accessories” section.
