7Oven Mode SelectionFollow these steps to manually operate the oven in standardbake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).1.Press the2. baKe, pure ConveCtIon or ConveCtIonbaKe key. the oven will beep once, the selected cookingmode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.Press either the3. “+” or “–” key. the default temperature of350˚F will be displayed.To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and4.hold the TIME • TEMP key. (Press “+” key to increase thetemperature setting, “–” to decrease). “pre” and “on” willappear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat.the convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oventemperature during pre-heat. in standard bake mode, theconvection fan will turn off once the desired temperatureis attained. if in a convection mode, the convection fan willturn on. also, the clock display will change from the desiredcooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, startingwith 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚Fincrements until the desired temperature is reached. thecooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches200˚F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heatcycle is complete. the clock will beep once and “pre” and“on” will disappear from the display. (From this time forward,the “on” display will cycle on and off with the heatingelements.)Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the5.pre-heated oven.it is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the6.cooking process (see page 11).when the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press7.the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.pre-heating the oventhe oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidlybrings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosinga cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven willautomatically perform the pre-heat function. the pre-heat cycleoperates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bakemodes. there is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broilmodes.note:For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during•pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior toplacing food inside.oven operatIonstandard baKe – in standard bake mode, the bottomheating element provides conventional radiant heat.Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚Fincrements. use standard bake for single rack baking androasting.standard broIl – the high wattage, top heatingelement supplies the heat in Broil mode. the broiltemperature is adjustable from 135˚F, to the “HI” setting(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broilingis always performed with the door closed.ConveCtIon broIl – the high wattage, top heatingelement supplies the heat in broil mode in combination withthe convection fan for better heat distribution. the broiltemperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the “HI” setting(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Thismode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, andMCD230. Convection broil is always performed with thedoor closed.pure ConveCtIon™ – in Pure Convection mode a thirdheating element, encircling the convection fan located inthe rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source.the convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, thenforces it across the hot convection heating element. theheated air is directed back into the oven chamber throughthe convection baffle. the baffle distributes the heated airevenly to ensure uniform results. temperatures may beset from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this modefor single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting andpreparation of complete meals.ConveCtIon baKe – in this combination convection-radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. asin Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and bafflecombine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the ovenchamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚Fin 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking,multiple rack baking and roasting.temperature probe – the temperature probe can beused in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection,or convection bake modes. the temperature probe takesthe guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exactinternal temperature you desire. the temperature rangethat the probe will read is from 100˚F to 200˚F.self-Clean – in the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the ovenreaches temperatures of 850˚F, thereby burning off ovensoil automatically. the self-clean time is adjustable up tofour hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can besuccessfully removed. also, the self-clean cycle can bedelayed to start at a later time if desired.Oven Modesall oven modes are described below:
