Fish
The Fish setting bakes at a lower temperature than traditional
baking. This gives you moist, tender, evenly-cooked fish with
results similar to those achieved when steaming fish in
parchment paper. You can cook fillets, steaks or whole fish with
this setting.
■Use the broiler pan, grid and roasting rack or a low-sided
baking pan for best results.
■Preheating is not recommended.
■Very little to no browning will occur throughout the cycle. If
browning is desired, use a higher temperature. The fish will be
moister than when conventional baking.
Bread
The Bread setting gives best results when baking yeast breads.
With the addition of steam to the cycle, you no longer need to
spritz with water or add moisture into the oven to achieve a
crispy crust and moist interior.
■Preheating is required.
■Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
■Baking times may be slightly less than with standard baking.
■If you are using a baking stone, place it in the oven on rack 1
before beginning the cycle.
The oven will preheat to a temperature higher than the set
temperature. It will then begin adding steam so the bread dough
will go into a moist, hot environment, which is best for rising and
crust development.
After preheat, place the bread dough in the oven as quickly as
possible and close the door. The oven temperature will reduce to
the set temperature, and a small amount of moisture will be
added. The remainder of the cycle is dry heat for optimal
browning.
Desserts
The Desserts setting gives best results for delicate desserts such
as crème brulee and cheesecake that are typically baked in a
water bath. This setting also works well for other custard based
dishes, souffles, and pies.
■Preheating is not recommended.
■Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
■Allows the center of a dessert to bake without overcooking
the outer edges.
■It is not necessary to cook with a water bath.
■No need to shield edges of pie crust with foil.
The convection fan is on only when steam is introduced into the
cycle to distribute the moisture evenly. To minimize the creation
of a skin on the surface of foods, convection is not used at any
other time in this setting.

2. Turn the SET knob to the desired Auto Steam setting and
press ENTER. The preset temperature for that setting will
appear on the display and the “F” will flash until a
temperature is selected.
3. If desired, turn the SET knob to change the temperature.
The bake range can be set between 250°F and 450°F (120°C
and 230°C).
4. Press the ENTER button. The preset cooking time will appear
on the display. The “Cook Time” indicator light will flash until
a temperature is selected.
5. If desired, turn the SET knob to change the cooking time in
1-minute increments.
6. Press the ENTER button to accept the time.
NOTE: If the water level is below “HALF,” 3 tones will sound
and the display will flash “FILL.” The tones will repeat every
30 seconds until the reservoir is filled. Pour water into the
water inlet until the “Full” indicator light comes on.
7. For all Auto Steam settings except “Bread” the display will
show “LoAd” on the display.
8. When you are using the “Bread” setting, once the reservoir is
filled, the oven will begin to preheat and “PrE” will appear on
the display.
When the oven temperature is reached “LoAd” will appear in
the display.
A tone will also sound prompting the user to open the oven
door and insert the item(s) to be cooked.
9. Once the oven door is closed the oven timer will begin to
count down from the set time and the display will alternate
the set temperature and the remaining time.
10. When the cooking time ends, “0:00” will appear on the
display and 4 tones will sound.
The oven will remain on. Four reminder tones will sound every
minute, and the time will count up in 1-minute increments.
The display will alternate between “0:00” and the count up
time until you reset or turn off the oven.
11. Press CANCEL and turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET
position when finished cooking.
