CONVECTION DEHYDRATE

With the temperature control on 175oF (79.4 oC), warm air is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehydration does not improve the quality , so only fresh, top-quality foods should be used.

CONVECTION DEFROST

With temperature control off, air is circulated by a 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.

Oven Operation

Oven Function Selector

Each oven has an oven function selector. There are five settings on the selector.

•Bake: Heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This is your traditional bake setting. Use this setting for baking and roasting on a single rack, preferably in the center of the oven.

•Convection Bake: Heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. It provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity for all uses. Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job.

•TruConvecTM: An element located around the fan in the rear of the oven is the only heat source.

•Maxi-Broil: The broil element at the top of the oven operates at full power.

•Mini-Broil: Only the center broil element operates for partial power. The setting is designed for “slow” broiling.

•Convection Broil: Exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The cool air is quickly replaced-improving the already high performance of the infrared broil burner.

•Self-Clean: This range features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soils and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator reduces odors associated with the soil burn-off.

Temperature Controls

Each oven has a temperature control dial. The control can be used be set at any temperature from 1500F to 5500F, broil, or self- clean. Always be sure the controls are in the “Off” position when the oven is not in use.
