Control Panel Description

Oven Vent(s)

• A. Control panel
• B. Oven
• C. Oven vent

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT : To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
• Place food so it will not rise into the broil element. Allow at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) between pans and the broil element.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide for positioning racks.

Inserting the Wire Shelf and other Accessories

• Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides in correspondence to the rack positions pictured below, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards.
• Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

Aluminum Foil

• IMPORTANT : To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
• For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Broiling
When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on rack above a drip tray, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

NOTE : Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

• Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. 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 hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in position 5. Cook over a drip tray filled with 2 cups (500 ml) of water. Broil for 15-30 minutes and turn two thirds of the way through cooking.

• For best results, use Bake function for single rack and Convent Bake function for multi-rack. Place the cakes as shown in the picture below.

NOTE: Additional racks may be required for multi-rack cooking.

Bakeware

• To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
• Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE: Bakeware materials and color may affect results. Dark, dull, non- stick, or glass pans may require shorter baking times, in contrast insulated or stainless steel pans may require longer baking times. Follow bakeware manufacturer’s recommendations.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating

• When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 6 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.

Rapid Preheat

• Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the
• oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.

IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.

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.
• 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.

Baking and Roasting

• The oven will take approximately 6 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity.

• Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks
  can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.

• During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

• Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Accessories
The number and the type of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. Other accessories can be purchased separately, see “Assistance or Service” section.

• Use to cook food or as a support for pans, cake tins and other ovenproof items of cookware.
• Use as an oven tray for cooking meat, fish, vegetables, focaccia, etc. or position underneath the wire shelf to collect cooking juices.
• Use for cooking all bread and pastry products, but also for roasts and fish.

OVEN CARE

Self Cleaning Cycle

WARNING
Burn Hazard

• Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Keep children away from oven during
• Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room.
Self clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

• Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
• Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self Cleaning cycle.
• Air must be able to move freely. See the “Oven Vents” section.
• Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
• The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
• Hand clean inside door edge and the 11/2″ (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during high-temp self cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
• Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.

IMPORTANT: Before starting self clean, switch remote control to OFF by selecting the dedicated button on the control panel. For Double Oven, the self-clean feature is only available in the upper oven.
How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping sounds.

• The Self Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
• Suggested clean times are 1 hour and 15 minutes for light soil, 1 hour and 40 minutes for medium soil and 2 hours for heavy soil.
• Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
• The oven lights will not work during the Self Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the Self Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the Self Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
Before Self Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.
