OVEN CONTROLS Setting Continuous Bake or 6 Hour Energy Saving The timer on-off and self clean keys control the continuous bake or 6 hour energy saving features. The oven control has a factory preset 6 Hour Energy Saving feature that shuts off the oven if the oven control is left on for more than 6 hours. The oven can be programmed to override this feature for Continuous Baking. To set the control for continuous bake or 6 hour energy saving: 1. Press and hold timer on-off for 6 seconds.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Oven Lockout Feature Setting Preheat The key controls the oven lockout. When active, this feature automatically locks the oven door, preventing the oven from being turned on. It does not affect the clock, timer, or the interior oven lights. The powerplus preheat/quick preheat feature is used when a recipe calls for preheating the oven. When the preheat stage ends, a tone will sound indicating when to place the food in the oven.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Bake NOTE For best bake results: • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads. • When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven. • For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See Figure 9). • When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 10.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Broil To set a broil of 500°F: Broiling tips: • Broil foods with oven door closed. 1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan and place the food on the broiler pan insert. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.The exposed grease could ignite. • For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. 2.
OVEN CONTROLS Convection Cooking Convection baking tips: Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with convection bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 12). • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection Convert Setting Convection Roast Convection convert automatically converts a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode. It can be used with a delay start and bake time. For delay start instructions, see page 21. For bake time instructions, see page 21.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Bake Time Use bake time when setting the oven to cook for a specific length of time and shut off automatically when the time is complete. When cooking time ends, the oven will shut off and will beep. This feature can be used with bake, convection bake, convection roast, and slow cook modes. To program the oven to begin baking immediately and to shut off automatically (example: Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes): 1. Be sure the clock is set for the correct time of day. 2.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Warm (Keep Warm) Setting My Favorite Recipe (some models) Warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The warm key turns on the warm feature, will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C), and will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking. The my favorite key allows the user to save a recipe to be recalled at any time. The recipe may be for any baking temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Slow Cook (some models) Warmer Drawer (some models) The slow cook feature is best for cooking at lower temperatures for longer periods of time and works best for beef (ribs and brisket), pork roasts, and poultry dishes. The warmer drawer allows the user to keep cooked foods warm until ready for serving. Use the lo setting for keeping baked goods warm, the med setting for covered dishes, and the hi setting for meats and poultry.
OVEN CONTROLS Cooking with Meat Probe IMPORTANT CAUTION Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in Figure 15, and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns. Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry. For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.
OVEN CONTROLS To set probe: 1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. 2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall (See Figure 15). 3. When the probe is set, an acceptance tone will sound, the probe icon will illuminate, and the actual probe temperature appears in the display (See Figure 18).
OVEN CONTROLS Table 3: USDA recommended minimum internal cooking temperatures Restoring Factory Default Setting Beef, Pork, Veal, Lamb 160°F (71°C) Your appliance is programmed with default control settings. Over time, users may make changes to these settings. The oven temperature adjustments made with this feature will not change the self clean cycle temperature or the broil temperature.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting the Sabbath Feature (For use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays) The bake time and delay start keys are used to set the Sabbath feature. For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.stark.org. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake function. Once the oven is properly set using bake with the Sabbath feature active, the oven will remain on until cancelled.
OVEN CONTROLS Self-Cleaning Operation CAUTION • Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will block heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven). • The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
OVEN CONTROLS Setting Self-Clean Cycle Duration The self clean key controls the self-cleaning feature. 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.
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.
