Oven Functions and Setting Main Oven BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles. CONVECTION BAKE Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal taste transfer. BROILING Use this setting for broiling dark meats at 1” thickness or less where rare or medium doneness is desired. DEFROST Use this function to defrost foods. Auxiliary Oven BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.
Ovens Features Oven Lights: Main oven (x2) Auxiliary Oven (x1) 1 Broiler 2 3 4 5 6 Double fan Bake burner Rack Positions 48’’ ranges Main oven is equipped with three oven racks, auxiliary oven with one. All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For better results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one rack at a time.
Using the Ovens Oven Preheat The oven temperature can reach a temperature of aprox 400°F in 10 minutes in static function. Please consider this during the pre-heat process of the oven. Conventional vs Convection Cooking Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard.
Baking BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake burner in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Many cook books contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking is suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking and casseroles. BAKE (Main oven) BAKE (Auxiliary oven) To Use BAKE Function 1.
Baking Baking Tips • Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn on the oven. • DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time. • Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked food, a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the product should come out clean when done.

Baking Solving Baking Problems Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.
Convection Bake CONVECTION BAKE Heat is radiated from the bake burner in the bottom of the oven cavity. The heated air is circulated by the fans in the rear of the oven providing a more even heat distribution. Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job. When roasting, cool air is quickly replaced searing meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage.
Convection Bake Convection Cooking Tips (only on main oven) Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan-forced air to circulate throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Below are some tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.
Defrost Air is circulated by motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours. 1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet. 2. Turn the selector to and set the temperature to “OFF”. WARNING To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Broiling BROIL Heat radiates from the broiler located at the top of the oven cavity. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For “fast” broiling, foodmay be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element.“Fast” broiling is best for meatswhere rare to medium donenessis desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat. Broiling Instructions Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat.
Broiling Broiling Tips • ALWAYS use the enamelled tray and trivet for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire. • To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge. • Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray. • Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn.
