Oven Modes

DELAY allows a delayed starting time only for Bake, Conv Bake and Conv Roast. BROIL is for broiling and grilling foods under direct, high heat. CONV BAKE uses a fan to circulate heat for quick and even baking, best used when baking with multiple racks. BAKE surrounds food with gentle, rising heat to cook delicate foods. CONV ROAST is recommended to gently brown meats and seal in the juices. PROOF creates the perfect environment to activate yeast when baking homemade breads or pizza dough. WARM is used to keep cooked foods at serving temperature (160°F / 70°C to 200°F / 90°C) in the oven. TEMP PROBE monitors the internal temperature of large cuts of meat with a probe. An alert will sound once the desired set target temperature is reached.

Care and Cleaning

Protect your range by quickly cleaning up spills when they happen.

Clean with a soft cloth, mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
Avoid spraying large amounts of water or cleaners directly on the oven control and display area. Excess moisture on the control area may cause damage.
Avoid using scouring pads or paper towels – they will damage the finish.

Always refer to your Use & Care Manual for more tips and instructions.

FAQs

Why does my oven make noises when I’m cooking

Temperature changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temperatures. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.

Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting

Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Broil with the oven door closed, and watch food to prevent burning.

This oven doesn’t work like my old one. Is this normal
