Convection Defrosting

•Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.

•Turn the oven function selector to “CONVECTION BAKE”. •Do not set a bake temperature*.

*IMPORTANT:

Do not set the bake temperature. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.

*WARNING:

To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.

Control Knob

MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOB POINTS TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knob straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Do not soak the knob. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.

Stainless Steel Parts

All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as LIquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Glass Surface

Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it does not run down on exterior door surface.

Brass Parts

CAUTION: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE BRASS OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water.

Broiler

There is no special care required for the infrared broiler. It is designed as self-contained unit, and no adjustments or cleaning are possible. Do not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities which may condense on it.

Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The broiler pan and grid is also dishwasher safe.

Oven Racks

Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
