CONVECTION BROIL (ERD48 left oven only) – 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. Broiling is performed with the door closed. PURE CONVECTION™ (ERD models only) – 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˚

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. SELF-CLEAN – In the pyrolytic Self- Clean mode, the oven reaches extreme high temperatures, 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 Racks and Supports

Three chrome-plated oven racks are provided. Always remember to position the racks prior to heating the oven. Also, remove the oven racks prior to self-cleaning to prevent permanent discoloration of the racks

The porcelain rack supports provide five (5) heights for positioning of the oven racks.

To install a rack, align the left and right edges of the rack with the horizontal guide rails of the rack supports, then slide the rack into the oven

Oven Mode Selection

Follow these steps to operate the oven modes:

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

2.Press the touch pad for the modes of your choice. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking mode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.

3.Press either the “+” or “–” pad. The default temperature will be displayed.

4.To adjust the default temperature for baking, press and hold the “TIME•TEMP” pad. (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. 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.

NOTE:

Do not place food inside the oven until the Preheat cycle is complete.

When the desired temperature is attained, the Preheat 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 preheated oven.

6.It is recommended that a Minute Timer be set to time the cooking process.

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

Preheating the Oven

The oven features an automatic Preheat 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 Preheat function. The Preheat cycle operates in Standard Bake, Pure Convection™ and Convection Bake modes. There is no Preheat cycle for the Broil or Convection Broil modes.

NOTE:

Allowing the oven to completely pre-heat prior to placing food in the oven will avoid excessive browning of the food. After the oven signals that the pre-heat is complete, allow 3-5 more minutes for the heat patterns to normalize in the oven and then place your food inside.

Minute Times

The clock features two timers that may be used for time cooking or other processes up to 11 hours, 50 minutes in length.

To use the Minute Timer function, follow these steps:

1.Press the touch pad labeled “TIMER 1”, or “TIMER 2”. The clock will display “00:00”, and “TIMER 1”, or

“TIMER 2” will flash.

2.Press the “+” pad until the desired time is displayed on the clock.

3.After “TIMER 1” has expired, the clock will sound off with one second beeps and “TIMER 1” will appear in the display. After the “TIMER 2” minute timer has expired, the clock will sound alternating one and two second beeps and “TIMER 2” will appear in the display. The beeper can be silenced by pressing the “TIMER” touch pad while the beeper is sounding.
