SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting the Clock Setting the Timer The clock icon is used to access the time of day setting. When the oven is first plugged in or if there has been an interruption in power to the oven, 12:00 will flash in the display. The minute timers in the oven display serve as extra timers to help keep track of cooking functions. The timer cannot be used during a self clean cycle or if the meat probe function associated with the timer display is in use.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving Setting Control for Silent Operation The oven is preset to cook up to 6 hours and to shut off automatically. For longer periods of cooking, this feature can be changed to continuous cooking by setting the user preference and turning the energy saving feature off. The oven is set to operate with certain chimes and tones (default settings) that alert the user to certain oven functions.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting No Preheat Use the No Preheat feature when you want to start baking immediately, without the need for preheating. No Preheat provides good results when preparing convenience foods such as cinnamon rolls, frozen pizza, bacon, french fries, and tater tots. Food will finish cooking in the time stated in the package directions without the extra time required for preheating.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Bake To set a bake for 350°F: Use the Bake function whenever a recipe calls for baking using normal temperatures. When the set bake temperature is reached the control will sound a chime to alert that the oven is fully preheated. During Bake, the convection fan may pulse on and off to help maintain optimum baking temperatures. 1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Convection Baking Setting Convection Bake Convection baking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F. The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 11). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection Convert Setting Convection Roast Convection convert automatically converts a standard baking recipe for convection baking. Convection convert may only be used with convection bake.This feature must be set before selecting the oven mode and oven temperature by using the user preference setting in the oven display. Convection roast is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Table 1: Convection roasting temperature and time recommendations Meat Beef Poultry Pork Weight Oven Temp Internal Temp Minutes per lb. Standing rib roast* 4 to 6 lb. 350°F (177ºC) *160ºF (71ºC) 25-30 Rib eye roast* 4 to 6 lb. 350°F (177ºC) *160ºF (71ºC) 25-30 Tenderloin roast 2 to 3 lb. 400°F (204ºC) *160ºF (71ºC) 15-25 Turkey whole** 12 to 16 lb.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Using the Broil Feature To set broil: Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place the food further away from the broil element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning. Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. The door must be closed for broil to operate. If the door is left open the display will show "d-O".
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Meat Probe Proper placement of probe in food. Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food. Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here: • Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food (Figure 17).
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Meat Probe (cont’d) 3. When the probe is inserted, an acceptance tone will sound, the probe icon appears in the display (See Figure 18). Close the oven door. Figure 18: Probe inserted and ready to set temperature 4. Press the + key to set the desired probe temperature between 140°F and 210°F. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the control will automatically set the default temperature of 170°F and the display will sound an acceptance chime.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting the Sabbath Feature This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/ Holidays. For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k.org. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake function.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Adjusting the Oven Temperature The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. NOTE Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Self Cleaning A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Self Clean If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete. It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 3. Once the door is closed the time of day will be visible along with the selected clean time and the door lock icon will be blinking in the display. Do not force the oven door open when the self clean is active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Figure 29: Clean cycle in progress 4. During the clean cycle the time of day remains in the display and the time remaining in the clean cycle will also be active.
CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later. Surface Type Recommendation Aluminum and Vinyl trim Painted body parts Painted decorative trims Plastic Use hot, soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING General Cleaning Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the oven. The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners. CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.
CARE AND CLEANING Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners WARNING Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing and Replacing the Oven Door IMPORTANT Oven door hinge locations Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects.
CARE AND CLEANING Caring for your glide racks 4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication. CAUTION Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking racks will be very hot and can cause burns. Important: Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the glide rack may be damaged and the racks will lose their finish.
