note:
For the double ovens, both the upper and lower chambers can be set
for Delay timed Cooking. however, both chambers must have the
same “CooK tImes” and “stop tImes”.
Setting the Oven for Delayed Timed Cooking
to use timed Cooking, follow these steps: (this mode will
begin cooking immediately and turn off at the desired time.)
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).
. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack(s).
3. Select the desired cooking mode and temperature.
4. Press the “cook tiMe” pad and “tiMe” will appear in the clock
display. Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+” pad to set the length of time
that the food will be cooked. the “cook tiMe” can be set from 5
minutes to 11 hours, 50 minutes.
5. after the “cook tiMe” has expired, the clock will beep three times,
and “Hold” will be displayed. if cooking in a convection mode,
the convection fan will also turn off at this time. while in “Hold”
mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150˚F for a
period of two hours. “Hold” mode can be cancelled by pressing the
“caNceL•SecuRe” touch pad. the cooling fan will continue to run
depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.
the oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low heat
settings in “Pure convection™” mode.
Follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost foods:
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).
. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. (for dehydrating,
prepare food as recommended then place food onto a drying rack.)
3. Press the “PuRe coNvectioN™” pad.
4. Set the temperature to 135˚F. This is the minimum temperature that
can be set. (for dehydrating, a higher temperature setting may be
required. follow the recommended temperature for the type of food
being prepared.)
5. it is recommended that the user set the Minute timer(s) to time the
process.

Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed
cooking modes. to avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food,
take the following steps:
1. avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the
cooking cycle to begin. typical foods to avoid include those
containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and
cooked or uncooked meats, poultry and fish stand in the
oven for more than two hours before cooking begins.
2. If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold
or frozen food into the oven. most unfrozen foods should
never stand in the oven for more than two hours before
cooking begins.
3. Do not allow foods to remain in the oven more than one
hour after completion of the cooking cycle. When the
temperature drops below 140˚, bacteria can develop.
to use Delay timed Cooking, follow these steps: (this mode
allows the cooking process to start at a later time and finish
at the desired time.)
1. follow steps 1 thru 4 in the previous instructions for
timed Cooking.
. Press the “StoP tiMe” touch pad, and “StoP” will appear in the
clock display. Press the “tiMe•teMP” “+” pad to enter the time
of day that you wish the oven to shut off. “deLay” will now be
displayed. the oven will calculate the correct “StaRt tiMe.” after
the “cook tiMe” has expired, the clock will beep three times,
and “Hold” will be displayed. if cooking in a convection mode,
the convection fan will also turn off at this time. while in “Hold”
mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150˚F for a
period of two hours. “Hold” mode can be cancelled by pressing the
“caNceL•SecuRe” touch pad. the cooling fan will continue to run
depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.
DelaYeD tImeD CooKInG tIps:
1. do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay timed
cooking. these foods will not rise properly.
. Remember that “cook tiMe” refers to the length of the cooking
cycle. it does not refer to the start time!
3. the time required to preheat the oven must be included in the
“cook tiMe.” thus, the “cook tiMe” should be increased by
about 8 to 1 minutes depending upon the temperature setting. the
top element does not come on to preheat in the delay Mode, so you
will not pre-maturely brown foods.

Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods,
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish.
Broiling
in the oven is completed with the oven door completely shut.
it is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give
the food a broiled flavor. the broil temperature may be adjusted in
5˚F increments from 135˚F up to the maximum setting of “HI”. The
“HI” setting is equivalent to 555˚F.
