1. Oven ON/OFF

Press to switch the oven on and off. After switching

the oven off, the fan may continue to operate until the

oven has cooled.

2. Traditional Cooking Modes

Traditional cooking modes use heat from the oven

elements and do not rely on steam as their main method

of cooking your food. Your oven has four traditional

cooking modes - convection bake, convection roast,

convection broil, and broil. The convection cooking

modes use increased air circulation to improve

performance. The type of benefit depends on the mode.

From the TRADITIONAL COOKING menu, navigate to

the desired mode using the arrow keys on the keypad

and press SELECT. Adjust the temperature with the

arrows, if desired, and press SELECT to start. If no

changes are made on this screen, the oven will start

automatically in approximately 10 seconds using the

Adding 5 Minutes of Steam

Traditional cooking modes will display an additional

indicator on the screen once the oven has heated

above 212°F. This indicates the 5 minute added steam

feature is available for use. Be sure to have water in

the reservoir when planning to use this feature. To

initiate the 5 minute added steam feature, press the

and use the arrows to navigate to the or 5 minute

steam. The SELECT key will start a 5 minute duration

of steam being added to the traditional cooking mode.

When the 5 minutes has passed, the steam will stop,

and the traditional cooking mode will continue without

steam. Once a 5 minute steam cycle has been initiated,

it cannot be cancelled. Other features accessed through

the cannot be started during a 5 minute steam cycle.

3. Steam Cooking Modes:

Steam cooking modes use steam along with the

oven elements as the main method of cooking your

food. Your oven has three steam cooking modes -

steam cook, steam reheat, and steam convection.

4. Steam Clean:

This mode uses 15 minutes of steam to loosen

grease and food that may have dripped or baked

onto the oven cavity to allow for easier cleaning.

5. Timed Features:

The allows access to several timed features. Not

all timed features are available at all times. The 5

minute steam is available only during a traditional

cooking mode. Cook time and delay start are

options that can be used with traditional and steam

cooking modes.

6. Cook Time:

turn on. Press the and set a cook time. If Delay

start is available for that cooking mode, you will be

prompted to confirm the time of day for cooking to

END. Selecting a time that is further out than the

current time plus the cook time duration will result

in the oven delaying the start of the cooking mode.

This can be used with convection bake and the

steam cooking modes.

NOTE: When using the delay start feature, foods

more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful

bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because

heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria

growth.

8. Probe:

Monitors internal food temperature and turns the

oven off when the food reaches the programmed

temperature. Insert the probe, program the cooking

mode, and program the probe temperature. The

probe can be used with all cooking modes. The

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help

you get the best results. These modes are described

below. Remember, your new oven may perform

differently than the oven it is replacing.

Convection Bake

The Convection Bake mode is intended for single rack

cooking. This mode uses heat from the rear element,

along with air movement to enhance evenness. To use

this mode, select convection bake from the traditional

cooking menu, enter a temperature, and then press

SELECT. Temperatures for cooking foods in convection

bake are often set slightly lower than the same food

requires in a standard bake mode. Preheating is

generally recommended when using this mode.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting

foods on a single rack. This mode uses heat from

the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air

movement to improve browning. It is not necessary to

convert temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe

suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe.

To use this mode, select convection roast from the

traditional cooking menu and then press SELECT. It is

not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. Monitor food closely

ZKLOHEURLOLQJ8VHFDXWLRQZKHQEURLOLQJRQXSSHUUDFN

positions as placing food closer to the broil element

increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats

igniting.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the

food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a

seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods

and foods that need to be cooked through should be

broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by

using lower broiling temperatures. For best performance,

center food below the broil heating element.

The Broil Modes set to higher temperatures use

intense heat from the upper element to sear foods.

8VHKLJKHUEURLOWHPSHUDWXUHVIRUWKLQQHUFXWVRIPHDW

and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The

Broil modes set to lower temperatures use less intense

heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly

ZKLOHDOVRSURGXFLQJVXUIDFHEURZQLQJ8VHORZHUEURLO

temperatures for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that

you would like cooked all the way through.

Broil

The Broil mode uses heat from the upper element. To

use this mode, select broil from the traditional cooking

menu enter a temperature, and then press SELECT. It is

not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Convection Broil

The Convection Broil mode uses the broil mode along with

air movement for improved searing and browning. To use

this mode, select convection broil from the traditional cooking

menu, enter a temperature, and then press SELECT.

COOKWARE GUIDELINES FOR

TRADITIONAL MODES

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking

performance.

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily

than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more

readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier

than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are

obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25º F next time.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked

goods such as cakes and cookies.

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.

These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies

and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom

browning.

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

OVEN RACKS

Your oven has three rack positions. For baking and

roasting, position the rack so that food is approximately

centered in the oven. Adjusting rack position is one way

to impact cooking results.

When baking with multiple pans, ensure there is at least

1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to

flow.

Oven Racks

Your oven has a traditional flat rack.

To avoid possible burns, place

the rack in the desired position

before you turn the oven on.

The oven rack has stops so

that when placed correctly on

the supports it will stop before coming completely out

and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out until it stops.

To Remove a Rack

Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To Replace a Rack

Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts

under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the

stoppers) and lower it into position. Push the rack all the

way in.

CAUTION

Use caution when removing a rack

from lowest position as door may be hot.

Steam cooking has numerous benefits which include

retaining the nutritional value of food, along with retaining

taste, structure, and color.

IMPORTANT: Before using any steam functions the

water reservoir must be filled. Only water should be

used in the reservoir. If the message CHECK WATER

will help keep the hot tray off of the counter when food

is removed from the oven.

NOTES:

Do NOT place cookware directly on the oven bottom.

Cookware included with the oven is designed for use in

Steam Cook and Steam Reheat modes. Temperatures

above 300°F can damage the cookware.

Be careful when opening the oven door after a steam

mode. Steam will be emitted from the cavity. The oven

cavity is sealed to keep steam inside during cooking.

Water Discharge After Steaming

When the oven is turned off after any steam usage, there

is a requirement to discharge the water in the steam

system. This is to help keep the internal tubing clean

and free from odors. Follow the prompts on the screen

for completing the discharge cycle. Open the door. Pull

out the water reservoir to the arrow symbol on the side

of the tank and press the select pad. The pumps will run

for 2-3 minutes, pumping water out of the steam system

and back into the reservoir. Leave the reservoir in place

until notified that the discharge cycle is complete. Empty

the reservoir. When the oven has cooled down, dry the

cavity and door with a clean towel.

STEAM COOK

This mode allows you to use steam as the main heat

source for cooking your food. This function is useful for

IXOO\FRRNLQJPDQ\W\SHVRIIRRGV8VHWKLVLQSODFHRI

a steam rack in a pot on a cooktop. This mode can be

adjusted between 105°F and 210°F.

Larger amounts of food can be cooked in two layers

during STEAM COOK mode by placing the oven rack in

position 2 and using the table rack to support either the

solid pan or a number of optional small pans elevated

from the oven bottom. NEVER PLACE COOKWARE

DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN BOTTOM. This configuration

works in steam cook because of the heat from the steam

directly contacting the food being cooked. It is NOT

recommended for any other modes as they rely on heat

from the elements in addition to the steam.

Steam Cooking Modes

USING THE OVEN: Steam Cooking Modes

12 49-2000695 Rev. 1

Steam Reheat

This mode allows you to modify the temperature while

steam cooking. This type of function is particularly

suitable for heating pre-cooked food and for preparing

ready, semi-ready meals and frozen foods from 160°F

(72°C) to 265°F (130°C).

IMPORTANT: Once the functions have been completed,

a water discharge request will be sent (see Water

Discharge paragraph).

Steam Convection

After starting the oven, food is initially steamed. The

oven will automatically transition to a convection cooking

mode.

This function is particularly suited to cooking large

meat and seafood dishes as well as baking bread and

pastries. The recommended cooking temperature for

baking bread and pastries using this function is from

370°F (180°C) to 410°F (210°C).

NOTE: If you’re using this function to cook consecutive

dishes, ensure that the oven has cooled before starting

to cook the next dish.

5 Minute Steam Function

The 5 Minute Steam Function is for use with traditional

cooking modes: Convection Bake, Convection Roast,

Convection Broil, and Broil.

COOKWARE GUIDELINES FOR STEAM

MODES

Cookware included with the oven is designed for use in

Steam Cook and Steam Reheat modes. Temperatures

above 300°F can damage the cookware.

The wire rack has a solid pan that can be used to collect

drips from perforated pan. To remove it, lift it slightly and

slide it towards you.

Perforated Tray

Your oven comes with a perforated pan for steam

FRRNLQJ7KLVSDQLVXVHGRQWKHRYHQUDFN8VHLQ

combination with the solid pan supported under the oven

rack to catch everything that drips from the food during

cooking.

This tray also comes with a lid. Do not use the lid while

cooking.

ALUMINUM FOIL AND OVEN LINERS

CAUTION

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat

or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of

these items is not covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls

to prevent poor heat circulation.

WARNING

Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to

the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures.

Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at foodsafety.gov or IsItDoneYet.gov.

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The

Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature

reaches the programmed temperature.

Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that

all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.
