Using Convection Cooking Tips:
True Convection
Reduce recipe temperature by 25 ºF.
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheets without sides.
Convection Roast
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Check doneness early since roasting time may decrease.
Convection Broil/Max Convection Broil
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5
minutes.
Use broil pan and grid included with your oven.
Speed Convection
Begin cooking all frozen convenience products in a cold,
non-preheated oven. The food will still be done in package
time.
This mode is well suited for frozen convenience foods such
as fish sticks and chicken nuggets.

Quick Reference Guide
Self-Clean:
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
ATTENTION: Wipe out excessive spillage before
self-cleaning the oven.
ATTENTION: Do not clean parts or accessories in the
Self-Clean oven.
To Set the Self-Clean Mode:
Turn the heating mode dial to “
CLEAN.”
Turn the temperature dial to “
CLEAN.”
Set the cleaning time (1:30 to 2:30 hours) using “
+” and “-.”
Self-Clean starts after a few seconds and the oven is locked.
The oven can be opened again only after the oven has
cooled.
To cancel Self-Clean, turn the heating mode dial to “
OFF”
position.
A moist cloth is the best way to wipe remaining ash from the
oven.
Note:
For double oven models—while Self-Clean is in progress in
one oven, the other oven must be off.
The oven light cannot be turned on during self-cleaning.
The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished
components in the oven can become discolored over time.
This is normal and does not affect operation. Under no
circumstances should scouring pads or abrasive cleaners be
used to treat discolorations.

Turn the heating mode dial to the preferred cooking mode.
Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature.
The light next to “
OVEN ON” (“UPPER ON”/”LOWER ON” for double

Preheat monitor:
The preheat monitor fills with bars while the oven heats up. All of the four
bars are visible and a beep sounds when the programmed temperature is
reached.
Note:
The cooking mode temperature ranges are limited. The oven will not
start if an invalid temperature is set. A beep sounds and “
Err” appears in
the display.
For double oven models—if Speed Convection is set for one oven, the
other oven cannot run at the same time.
