Timed Cooking
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Set a Cook Time:
1.On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.
2.Touch BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE OR CONVECTION ROAST.
Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. The range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
Timed Cooking may also be used with the Bread Proof function, but the temperature is not adjustable.
3.Touch COOK TIME.
4.Touch number keys to enter the length of time to cook.
5.Touch START.
The minute time countdown will appear on the oven display. The start time and stop time are not displayed until the oven is finished preheating.
On double oven models only, when both upper and lower ovens are being used at the same time, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN to display respective cook time.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “cooking complete” will appear on the oven display.
If enabled,
6.Touch OFF, UPPER OVEN OFF or LOWER OVEN OFF, or open the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.

Dehydrating
(on convection models, closed door)
Dehydration is a method used to preserve food. Various factors, such as the quality of the fresh food, pretreatment techniques, the size and thickness of the food, and the climate may affect the finished product.
During dehydration, heat is used to force out moisture and air circulation is used to carry the moisture away.
Refer to a reliable book or source for complete information about dehydrating and preserving foods.
To Dehydrate:
Position the racks according to the following chart. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for diagram.
NUMBER OF RACKS | RACK POSITION(S) |
|
|
1 | 3 |

2 | 2 and 4 |
