Before Using the Oven

Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven.It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle.The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle.The fan turns off if the door is left open during baking. The fan turns back on automatically once the door is closed.Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.The oven defaults to Fahrenheit unless changed by the user.

Oven Vent

Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns. Do not block the vent opening. Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture content.Oven VentThe edges of the range vent are sharp. Wear gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury.

Using Oven Racks

The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.Do not place objects heavier than 15 kg on the racks. Do not place heavy objects on the corners of the racks. Doing so can damage the racks.Pull the rack straight out until it stops.Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.Place the end of the rack on the support.Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

Instaview

Knock twice on the center of the glass door panel to reveal the contents of the oven without opening the door.Do not hit the glass door panel with excessive force. Do not allow hard objects like cookware or glass bottles to hit the glass door panel. The glass could break, resulting in a risk of personal injury.Knocking twice on the glass panel turns the interior light on or off.The InstaView function is disabled during Self Clean, Control Lock / Lockout, and initial power input.Tapping the edges of the glass panel may not activate the InstaView function.The taps on the glass panel must be hard enough to be audible.Loud noises or floor vibration near the oven may activate the InstaView function.

Bake

Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles.The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 80 ℃ to 285 ℃. The default temperature is 175 ℃.Press Bake.Press 1, 9 and 0 to set the oven temperature.Press START. The oven starts to preheat.As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off.If the door is opened during baking, the bake burner turns off after 30 seconds. The burner turns back on automatically once the door is closed.When cooking is complete, press CLEAR/OFF.Remove the food from the oven.It is normal for the convection fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.The convection fan may continue to run for a short time after the oven is turned off.Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used.Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.

Convection Mode

The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or multiple racks.Setting the Convection Function(For example, cooking at 190 °C)Press Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 175 °C.Press 1, 9 and 0 to set the oven temperature.Press START. The display shows Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting at 37 °C.As the oven preheats, the display shows increasing temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light flashes on and off. The display shows the auto-converted oven temperature.When cooking has finished or to cancel, press CLEAR/OFF.The oven fan runs while convection baking. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.It's normal that convection fan is not turning on directly. The fan will turn on later.Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.When using Convection Bake, place the oven racks in positions suggested in the charts in this manual.Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods.Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Convection roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease splatters.Place the oven rack in the recommended position.Place the grid in the broiler pan.Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.Grid (sold separately)Broiler pan (sold separately)Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.Position food (fat side up) on the grid.

Recommended Baking and Roasting Guide

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy.

Broil

The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables.Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire.Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.When using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take care to avoid possible burns by:Keeping the door closed when broilingAlways wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food itemsThis range is designed for closed-door broiling. Close the door to set the Broil function. If the door is open, the Broil function cannot be set and "door" appears on the display. Close the door and reset the Broil function. If the door is opened during broiling, the broil burner turns off after five seconds. The broiler turns back on automatically once the door is closed.Press Broil.Press 1 to set Hi or press 2 to set Lo.Press START. The oven begins to heat.Let the oven preheat for approximately five minutes before cooking the food if using Broil.Place food in the oven.Close the oven door. The oven door must be closed during broiling.Press CLEAR/OFF to cancel at any time or when cooking is complete.Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it is normal to experience smoke during the cooking process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of searing and should not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.The broiler pan should always be thoroughly cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning of cooking.Always run your cooktop ventilation system or vent hood during broiling.Keep the interior of your oven as clean as possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can burn or catch fire.Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of these will increase the amount of smoke you experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it at the very end of cooking.If you are experiencing significant smoke with any food item, consider:Lowering the broiler to the Lo setting.Lowering the rack position to cook the food farther away from the broiler.Using the Hi broil setting to achieve the level of searing you desire, and then either switching to the Lo broil setting, or switching to the Bake function.As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.Adhere to the guidelines in the Recommended Broiling Guide section whenever possible.

Recommended Broiling Guide

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times.This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

Adjust cook time according to your preference.BeefSteaks and chops should always be allowed to rest for five minutes before being cut into and eaten. This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the food and creates a more tender and juicy result.Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke when broiling. Cooking times will likely be shorter than the times indicated in the Broiling Chart.For bone-in steaks or chops that have been frenched (all meat removed from around the bone), wrap the exposed sections of bone in foil to reduce burning.SeafoodWhen broiling skin-on fish, always use the Lo broil setting and always broil the skin side last.Seafood is best consumed immediately after cooking. Allowing seafood to rest after cooking can cause the food to dry out.It is a good idea to rub a thin coating of oil on the surface of the broiling pan before cooking to reduce sticking, especially with fish and seafood. You can also use a light coating of non-stick pan spray.VegetablesToss your vegetables lightly in oil before cooking to improve browning.

Proof

This feature maintains a warm oven for rising yeast-leavened products before baking. For best proof performance, cover the food with foil.Use rack position 2 or 3 for proofing.Press Proof.Press START.Press CLEAR/OFF when proofing is finished.To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily. Check bread products early to avoid over proofing.Do not use the Proofing mode for warming food or keeping food hot.

This allows for better air circulation.If desired, spray the baking tray or air fry tray with a pan spray. Use an oil that can be heated to a high temperature before smoking, such as avocado, grapeseed, peanut or sunflower oil.Place a foil-lined baking tray on a rack in position 2 to catch the oil falling from the food. For high-fat foods like chicken wings, add a few sheets of parchment paper to absorb the fat.Check food often and shake it or turn it over for crisper results.Prepared frozen foods may cook faster with the Air Fry mode than stated on the package. Reduce the cooking time by about 20 percent, check food early, and adjust cooking time as needed.Use a food thermometer to make sure food has reached a safe temperature for consumption. Eating undercooked meats can increase your risk of food-borne illness.For the crispiest results, dredge fresh chicken wings or tenders in seasoned flour. Use 1/3 cup flour for 2 pounds.Foods high in fat will smoke when using the Air Fry mode. For best results, follow these recommendations when air frying foods that are high in fat, such as chicken wings, bacon, sausage, hot dogs, turkey legs, lamb chops, ribs, pork loin, duck breasts, or some plant-based proteins.Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover entire racks with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and can result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil can also trap heat, causing a fire hazard or poor oven performance.Turn on your exhaust hood at a high fan setting before you start Air Fry and leave it on for 15 minutes after you're done.Open a window or sliding glass door, if possible, to make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated.Clean the grease filters on your exhaust hood regularly.Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Wipe down the interior of the oven before and after air frying (once the oven has cooled).Run oven cleaning cycles (EasyClean or SelfClean) regularly, depending on how often and what types of food you Air Fry.Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary to help maintain the oven temperature, prevent heat loss, and save energy.Air-frying fresh chicken pieces such as wings or drumsticks with the skin left on can produce smoke as the fat renders at high temperatures. If the smoke is excessive, use the Convection Roast mode instead of Air Fry.

Air Sous-Vide

Air Sous-Vide cooking uses air to cook foods “low and slow.” Use it to cook meat, fish, seafood, poultry or vegetables. Food must be vacuum packed in pouches before cooking.It is not necessary to preheat the oven when using Air Sous-Vide.Refer to the cooking guide for recommended Air Sous-Vide settings.The lower temperatures and long cooking times used in Air Sous-Vide cooking provide many benefits.HealthierCompared to other cooking methods, Air Sous-Vide retains most of the original nutrients in food.Safe and ConvenientThe long cooking times used in Air Sous-Vide cooking allow food to be pasteurized. Because food is vacuum packed before cooking, the unopened pouches can be quickly chilled in an ice bath and stored in the freezer or refrigerator after cooking.Crisp and Moist ResultsThe fine temperature control of Air Sous-Vide cooking is an excellent way to achieve the perfect texture when cooking meat and poultry. The low temperatures used retain more of the moisture in food than conventional cooking methods. After cooking, a final sear in a frying pan adds the perfect crisp finish.Place the standard rack in position 2 and place the sealed food bag on it.Press Air S.Vide.Set the desired oven temperature. (Range: 37 °C ~ 95 °C)Press START.Once cooking is finished, allow the oven to cool completely.
