Electronic Timing/
Temperature
Center (Digital
Display)
The Electronic Timing/
Temperature Center
controls are used to
program timing and
temperature functions. It
has eight display buttons
and five programming modes. Both the COOK TIME
mode and TIMER mode can be used to time cooking
periods.
Setting the Clock
The time-of-day must be set before any other program
can be used. When your oven is first connected to the
power in your home, the timer display will show 12:00.
To Program the Time-of-Day:
1. Press the “CLOCK” button. A single tone will sound
and the colon will flash indicating the clock function
has been accessed.
2. “UP” and “DOWN” are used to set the time of day.
“UP” increases time; “DOWN” decreases time.
“UP/DOWN” will increase or decrease the time in
1 minute increments. When the button is held down,
time will increase or decrease in 5 minute increments
until the next hour is reached, then will continue to
increase or decrease in hour increments.
3. Release the button when the appropriate time has
been reached.
4. The clock mode will terminate if the time is not set
within 30 seconds of accessing the clock function.
The colon will cease flashing indicating the clock
mode has been terminated. Pressing “CANCEL”
once will also terminate the clock mode.
The time-of-day can be changed by following steps 1
through 4. It cannot be changed while there is a TIMER
or COOK TIME cycle programmed into the timer.
Setting the Min/Hour Timer
The MIN/HOUR TIMER is designed for accurate timing
of foods. It is ideal for baking delicate items such as
biscuits, cookies, and popovers, and for precise broiling.
To Program the Min/Hour Timer:
1. Press the “TIMER” button. The timer will display :00.
2. Press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons to increase or
decrease time. The time will change in 1 minute
increments. When the button is held down, time will
change in 5 minute increments until the next hour is
reached.
Setting COOK TIME Program
COOK TIME automatically ends a cooking function. This
feature does not automatically start a cooking function.
This program is used for controlled timing of baked or
roasted foods.
1. Press the “COOK TIME” button once to access the
timed cook mode. A single tone will sound and 0:00
will appear on the display.
2. The UP and DOWN buttons are used to set the
timer. “UP” increases time; “DOWN” decreases time.
Tapping “UP” and “DOWN” will increase or
decrease the time in 1 minute increments. When the
“UP” or “DOWN” is held down, time will increase or
decrease in 5 minute increments until the next hour is
reached, then will continue to increase or decrease in
hour increments.
3. Release the button when the appropriate time has
been reached.
To Set The Bake Temperature
1. Press “BAKE TEMP” once. A single tone will sound,
the bake indicator light in the upper left corner and
the bar segments “---” of the display will light
prompting the setting of the bake temperature using
the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons.
2. The temperature will default to 350°F when either
“UP” or “DOWN” button is pressed. Tapping the
“UP” or “DOWN” buttons will increase or decrease
the temperature in 5-degree increments. The
temperature will increase or decrease in 25°
increments when the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons are
pressed and held down. The temperature can be set
from a low of 170°F to a high of 550°F. When the
desired temperature has been reached, a tone will
sound indicating the oven has preheated.
3. Set the Oven Function selector to the desired
function – BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE, BROIL OR
CONVECTION BROIL.
4. BAKE TEMP setting may be terminated by pressing
the “CANCEL” button.

Electronic Timing/Temperature Center
The electronic timing/temperature center is used to program
and control all timing and temperature functions. Each oven
has a separate temperature control and a separate oven
function selector. The button control can be set at any
temperature from 170°F (76.6°C) to 550°F (287.8°C) by
pressing “UP” or “DOWN”. There are separate settings for
broiling and HI/LO BROIL. ALWAYS be sure the controls are
in the OFF position when the oven is not in use.
IMPORTANT–The time-of-day must be set before any other
program can be used.
The oven has
interior oven
lights that are
controlled by one
switch on the
control panel.
Push the switch to
turn the interior
oven lights on
and off.

Rack Positions
The convection oven is equipped with three tilt-proof
racks and four rack positions. Position 4 is the farthest
from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the
oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and
arranged at various levels. For best results with
conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one
rack at a time. It is recommended when using two
racks to do the following:
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position
BEFORE heating
the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time,
use rack positions 2 and 4.
2. Turn the function selector to the desired function.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired
temperature.
4. Place the food in the oven after preheating.
Preheating is complete when the tone sounds.
BAKE
(Natural
Airflow Bake)
Full power heat is
radiated from the
two bake burners in
the bottom of the
oven cavity and is
circulated with
natural airflow. This function is recommended for single
rack bakings. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be
cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional
baking is suitable for dishes that require a high
temperature. Use this setting for baking and casseroles.
CONVECTION
BAKE
Heat is radiated
from the bake
burners in the
bottom of the oven
cavity. The heated
air is circulated by
the motorized fan
in the rear of the oven providing more even heat
distribution. This even circulation of air equalizes the
temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates
the hot and cold spots found in convection ovens.
Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job.
When roasting, cool air is quickly replaced—searing
meats on the outside and retaining more juices and
natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. This
even circulation of air equalizes the temperature
throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and
cold spots found in conventional ovens.
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to
dehydrate fruits and vegetables. With the oven
function selector set to Convection Bake and the
temperature control on 170° F (76.6° C), warm air is
circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven.
Over a period of time, the water is removed from the
food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth
of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.
It is important to remember that dehydration does not
improve the quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods
should be used.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with
the oven; contact a local store handling speciality
cooking utensils).
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the
selector to “CONVECTION BAKE”.
Convection Defrost
With the selector set to “CONVECTION BAKE” and
the temperature control off, air is circulated by a
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat.
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two
hours.
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.
3. Turn the selector to “CONVECTION BAKE”.
BROIL
(Infrared Broil)
Heat radiates from
the Gourmet Glo™
infrared broiler
located at the top
of the oven cavity.
The distance
between the foods
and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For
“fast” broiling, food may be as close as 2” (5 cm) to
the broil element or on the top rack. “Fast” broiling is
best for meats where rare to medium doneness is
desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average
cuts of meat.
CONVECTION
BROIL (Infrared
Convection
Broil)
Exactly the same
as regular broiling
with the additional
benefit of air
circulation by the
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is
reduced since the airflow reduces peak temperatures
on the food. Use this setting for thick cuts of meat.
