OPERATION
Operation of STANDARD Models
Models with Standard Controls operate much like a standard oven: you turn the oven ON and select a
cooking temperature. Two additional controls are used to control the f an (as described below).
The timer is a reminder to you of when to remove food from the oven. Th e timer does NOT control the
temperature of the oven.
To cook, do the following:
1. Turn the oven ON using the Power Switch at the top of the control panel.
2. Select the desired fan speed using the Fa n Speed switch. The appropriate fan speed (HI or LOW)
depends on the type of food being cooked.
3. Switch the Fan Mode switch to COOK. The fan will run continuously when the oven doors are closed
(the fan does not cycle on and off with the burners). (If this switch is set to COOL the only difference is
that the fan will continue to run when the oven doors are open.)
4. Set the cooking temperature by turning the Cook Temperature Control until the indicator mark on the
knob is pointed to the desired cooking temperature. The Heat On indicator will light when the burners
are on, and will remain on while the oven preheats.
5. Wait until the Heat On indicator has come on and gone out three times. At that tim e the oven will have
reached the set cooking temperature.
6. Open the oven doors, load the product into the oven, and close the doors.
7. You can use the Cook Timer as a reminder of when the remove the load from the oven. If so desired,
turn the Cook Timer knob until the indicator mark points to the desired cooking time (up to 55 minutes ).
The timer knob will rotate counterclockwise as the timer runs down, ind icating how much time remains.
You can turn the knob while cooking to increase or decrease the rem aining time. When the timer runs
out, a buzzer will sound for a short time, then turn itself off. (To immediately silence the bu zzer, turn the
Cook Timer knob to the OFF position.) The timer is a reminder to you; the timer does not control the
oven.
If you open the oven doors, the burners and fan will shut off until the doors are closed. H owever, the
timer will continue running even if the doors are open.
For ovens that are equipped with an oven interior light, to turn on the light press and hold the s witch
located at the bottom of the control panel.
8. When the load has finished cooking, you can rapidly cool the load by opening the oven doors (which
will shut off the burners) and switching the Fan Mode to COOL (whic h will cause the fan to run even
though the doors are open). For the most rapid cooling, also switch the F an Speed switch to HI.
9. When you are done cooking, turn the Cook Temperature control to the lowest setting (fully
counterclockwise) and switch the Power Switch to OFF.
