7.Set the oven temperature by selecting one of the displayed temperatures or use the number pads to enter the temperature.

The display will briefly show the selected temperatures for the oven and probe.

After 10 seconds, the display will show the actual oven temperature and actual probe temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the probe is removed from the oven receptacle at any time during the cooking process, the control will prompt INSERT PROBE. If the probe is not reinserted within 30 seconds, the program will be canceled and the oven will turn off.

8.When the selected internal temperature of the food has been reached, the oven will shut off and a “PROBE END” appears on the display.

NOTE: To avoid overcooking the food, remove it from the oven as soon as the oven shuts off.

9.Using the handle of the probe, remove the probe from the jack. The probe will be hot. Hold probe with an oven mitt or pot holder when removing from the oven.

To Change Probe Temperature, Oven Setting:

Press CANCEL, then repeat previous steps.

After cooking, unplug the probe and remove food from oven.

See “General Cleaning” section to clean probe.

Drying

(on some models)

For best results, use a drying rack. A drying rack allows air to circulate evenly around the food. If you would like to purchase a drying rack, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number DRYINGRACK.

The convection fan will operate during the drying procedure.

To Set Drying:

1.Open the oven door slightly. The oven door needs to be opened slightly to allow moisture to escape from the oven during the drying process.

2.Place the magnetic door spacer Part Number 8010P146-60 over the plunger switch. The spacer provides a gap between the oven frame and the oven door to allow moisture to escape.

3.Gently close the door until the spacer magnet makes contact with the oven door. The magnet will hold the spacer in the proper position during the drying process and allows the door to be opened at any time during drying without losing proper positioning.

IMPORTANT: If the spacer is not placed correctly, the convection fan will not operate.

4.Press CONVECT.

5.Use the right Quickset pad to scroll to DRYING.

6.Select DRYING using the left Quickset pad.

7.Use the Quickset pads to select a displayed temperature or enter a temperature with the number pads. Temperatures can be set between 100°F and 200°F (38°C and 93°C).

8.“DRYING” and the temperature will be displayed. “PREHEAT” will be displayed until the programmed temperature is reached.

9.Press CANCEL when finished drying.

Follow the Drying Guide chart for drying times.

Check foods at minimum times given. Cool foods to room temperature before testing for doneness.

DRYING GUIDE CHART

■The length of drying times vary due to water and sugar content of food, size of food pieces, amount of food being dried, humidity in the air.

■Check foods at the minimum drying time. Dry longer if necessary.

■Fruits that turn brown when exposed to air should be treated with an antioxidant. Try one of the following methods:

1.Dip fruit in a mixture of 3 tbs (44.4 mL) lemon juice to 1 qt (0.95 L) of cool water.

2.Soak fruit in a solution of 1 tsp (4.9 mL) ascorbic acid or commercial antioxidant to 1 qt (0.95 L) of cold water.

■Most fruits and vegetables dry well and retain their color when dried at 140°F (60°C). Meat and jerky should be dried between 145°F and 150°F (63°C and 65°C). For optimal flavor, dry herbs at 100°F (38°C), however, at this lower temperature expect extended drying times of up to 8 hours.

■Foods may drip during the drying process. After drying high acid or sugary foods, clean the oven bottom with soap and water. The porcelain oven finish may discolor if acidic or sugary food soils are not wiped up prior to high heat or a self-cleaning cycle.

■More than one rack of food may be dried at the same time. However, additional drying time is needed.

■Refer to other resources at your local library or call your local agricultural department service for additional information
