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.

WarnInG

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.
