Oven Vent
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting
until turned off.
When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate.
All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will
sound, and the displays will not indicate temperature changes.
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off, and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability
(One Time Only):
1. Press OPTIONS/CLOCK until “SABBATH” is displayed. “OFF.
Press (1) for On” will scroll in the display.
NOTE: A bake function for either, or both ovens must be
started before Sabbath Mode can be activated.
2. Press the “1” keypad. “ON. Press (1) for Off” will scroll in the
display. Sabbath mode can be activated for baking.
3. Press START or CANCEL UPPER to exit and display the time
of day.
NOTE: To disable the Sabbath mode, repeat steps 1 through 3
to change the status from “SABBATH ON” to “SABBATH OFF.”
To Activate Sabbath Mode:
1. Press BAKE for the desired oven.
2. Press the number keypad to set a temperature other than
350°F (177°C).
3. Press START.
For timed cooking in Sabbath mode, press COOK TIME, and
then the number keypads to set the desired cook time.
4. Press OPTIONS/CLOCK. Three tones will sound. Then press
“7.” “SAb” will appear in the display.
To Adjust Temperature (When Sabbath Mode is Running):
1. Press the number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text to
select the new temperature.
NOTE: The temperature adjustment will not appear on the
display. The scrolling text will be shown on the display as it
was before the keypad was pressed.
2. Press START.
To Deactivate Sabbath Mode:
Press OPTIONS/CLOCK, and then press “7” to return to regular
baking, or press CANCEL for the desired oven to turn off the
range.
NOTE: No tones will sound while deactivating Sabbath mode.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven will begin
preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately
12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven
racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature
will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when
your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when
you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise
temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in
use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat before putting food in
unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven
rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6
or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the “Accessories” section.
