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.If the door is left open for longer than 30 seconds during baking, the heater turns off. The heater 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.Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns. 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.Do not block the vent opening at the bottom of the oven.

Using Heavy Duty Oven Racks

The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.Reposition 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 33 lb (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.

Using Gliding Oven Racks

The optional gliding racks slide in and out on a frame. This keeps heavy cookware level and prevents it from sliding forward when the rack is completely extended.Place oven racks in the desired location before turning on the oven to avoid 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.Start with the rack in the closed position. Hold the rack with one hand at the center front and the other hand at the back right corner.Carefully insert the rack between the rack guides, and slide it back until the shelf drops into place.Rack GuidesOnce the rack is secured in the back, pull the entire rack forward until the rack locks into place.With the rack in the closed position, grasp the front of the rack and frame and lift it. Slowly push the rack towards the back wall until it is free of the rack stop.After disengaging the rack stop, lift the back of the rack and pull the rack and frame out between the rack guides.

Convection Bake and Roast 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.The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 ℉ (80 ℃) to 550 ℉ (285 ℃). The default temperature is 350 ℉ (175 ℃).Press Conv.Bake or Conv.Roast.Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.

If a delayed start time is set, the start time appears in the display.A chime sounds once preheating is complete.A chime sounds at the end of the set cook time and a notification appears in the display. Open the oven door and remove the food.If no cook time is set, the oven turns off automatically after 12 hours.The heating elements and fan turn off immediately when the door is opened. They turn on again approximately 1 second after the door is closed.Press Stop in the display to cancel Convection Bake and Convection Roast at any time.The oven fan runs while convection baking and convection roasting. The fan stops when the door is opened. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.Press Conv.Bake or Conv.Roast.Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.Press START. Press Lower CLEAR / OFF.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 with a single rack, place oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions B and D.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 position A or B.Place the grid a in the broiler pan b.Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.* : Sold separatelyDo not use a broiler pan without a grid.Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.Position food (fat side up) on the grid.

Bake Mode

Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles.The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 ℉ (80 ℃) to 550 ℉ (285 ℃). The default temperature is 350 ℉ (175 ℃).Press Bake.Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.If desired, press Cook Time to set the cook time or Start Time to set the delayed start time.

Open the oven door and remove the food.If no cook time is set, the oven turns off automatically after 12 hours.Press Bake.Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.Press START.Press Lower CLEAR / OFF.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.For best results, food should be placed on a single rack with at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space between the pans and oven walls.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.

Recommended Baking 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. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same cooking temperature together in one oven.If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so that each one has at least 1" (25 mm) to 1 1/2" (38 mm) of air space around them.Type of FoodRack PositionAngel food cake, frozen piesCBundt or pound cakesBBiscuits, muffins, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, piesCCasserolesBTurkey, roasts, or hamAFrozen pizzaCRoast chickenBWhen baking cakes and cookies on multiple racks, use the Convection Bake mode and place racks in positions B and D.

Broil Mode

Broiling uses an intense, radiant heat to cook food. Both the inner and outer broil elements heat during full broiling. Only the inner broil element heats during center broiling. The element(s) cycle on and off at intervals to maintain the oven temperature.Keep the oven door closed while broiling. Let the oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes before cooking food.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.Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher.DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.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 appliance 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 OPEN 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.Place the food on the grid in the broiler pan.Press Broil.Press 1 for Full broil, 2 for Center broil.Press 1 for High, 2 for Medium, or 3 for Low temperature setting.If desired, press Cook Time to set the cook time. Press the numbers to set the time settings.Press START.Let the oven preheat for approximately 5 minutes before cooking the food.If the cook time is set, the remaining time appears in the display. Press Lower CLEAR / OFF to cancel at any time or when cooking is complete.If the cook time is not set, the oven automatically turns off after 3 hours.The heating element(s) turn off after 5 seconds when the door is opened. They turn on again approximately 1 second after the door is closed.Press Broil.Press the numbers to enter the desired temperature.Press START.Press Lower CLEAR / OFF.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.

Adjust cook time according to your preference.The USDA advises that consuming raw or undercooked fish, meat, or poultry can increase your risk of food-borne illness.The USDA has indicated the following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:Ground beef: 160 ℉ (71.1 ℃)Poultry: 165 ℉ (73.9 ℃)Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 ℉ (62.8 ℃)Fish / Seafood: 145 ℉ (62.8 ℃)Steaks 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.When 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.Toss your vegetables lightly in oil before cooking to improve browning.

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 1 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 of chicken.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.

Recommended Air Frying Guide

Arrange food evenly in a single layer.Put a foil-lined baking pan on a rack in position B to catch drips. If needed, add parchment paper to absorb oil and reduce smoking.Flip food over during cooking to avoid burning it.High-fat items may produce more smoke when cooked using Air Fry.
