Oven Operation

Oven Modes

All oven modes are described below:

STANDARD BAKE – In standard bake mode, the bottom heating element provides conventional radiant heat. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use standard bake for single rack baking and roasting.

STANDARD BROIL – The high wattage, top heating element supplies the heat in Broil mode. The broil temperature is adjustable from 135˚F, to the “HI” setting (equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling is always performed with the door closed.

CONVECTION BROIL – The high wattage, top heating element supplies the heat in broil mode in combination with the convection fan for better heat distribution. The broil temperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the “HI” setting (equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. This mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and MCD230. onvection broil is always performed with the door closed.

PURE CONVECTION™ – In Pure Convection mode a third heating element, encircling the convection fan located in the rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source. The convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then forces it across the hot convection heating element. The heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through the convection baffle. The baffle distributes the heated air evenly to ensure uniform results. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and preparation of complete meals.

CONVECTION BAKE – In this combination convection- radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. As in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking and roasting.

TEMPERATURE PROBE – The temperature probe can be used in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection, or convection bake modes. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact internal temperature you desire. The temperature range that the probe will read is from 100˚F to 200˚F.

SELF-CLEAN– In the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven reaches temperatures of 850˚F, thereby burning off oven soil automatically. The self-clean time is adjustable up to four hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can be successfully removed. Also, the self-clean cycle can be delayed to start at a later time if desired.

Oven Mode Selection

Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:

1.Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

2.Press the BAKE, PURE CONVECTION or CONVECTION BAKE key. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking mode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.

3.Press either the “+” or “–”key. The default temperature of

350˚F will be displayed.

4.To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and hold the TIME • TEMP key. (Press “+” key to increase the temperature setting, “–” to decrease). “PRE” and “ON” will appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat. The convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oven temperature during pre-heat. In standard bake mode, the convection fan will turn off once the desired temperature is attained. If in a convection mode, the convection fan will turn on. Also, the clock display will change from the desired cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting with 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚F increments until the desired temperature is reached. The cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches

200˚F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heat cycle is complete. The clock will beep once and “PRE” and “ON” will disappear from the display. (From this time forward, the “ON” display will cycle on and off with the heating elements.)

5.Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the pre-heated oven.

6.It is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the cooking process (see page 11).

7.When the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.

Pre-Heating the Oven

The oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven will automatically perform the pre-heat function. The pre-heat cycle operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake modes. There is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broil modes.

NOTE:

•For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior to placing food inside.
