result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only  
as directed in this guide.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a  
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise  
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The  
Child Safety  
food could be contaminated.  
• If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently  
and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.  
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners  
or aerosol sprays.  
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,  
it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas  
cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the  
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep  
natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.  
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as  
opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the  
level of a mechanical ventilation if present).  
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in  
use or is still hot.  
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they  
could be injured or burned.  
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing  
to reach items could be seriously injured.  
Burners  
• Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not  
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.  
• NEVER touch oven burners, areas near broiler and bake burner, or interior  
surfaces of oven.  
• Burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near burners  
and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.

cleaning them.  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit  
breaker before replacing bulb.  
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge  
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce  
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care  
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.  
• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as  
aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper  
oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free  
from grease buildup.

cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical  
shock.  
About Your Appliance  
CAUTION  
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to  
prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also,  
DO NOT use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.  
WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time baking:  
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after  
oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area  
become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch  
the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can  
result in potential hazards and/or injuries.  
• The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to  
local codes. Have the installer identify the location and shut-off valve on

Conventional and Convection Cooking  
Convection Cooking Tips (cont.)  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,  
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional  
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended  
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other  
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. It  
is recommended to use this function for single-rack baking.  
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This  
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven  
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right  
after they are set out of the oven.  
• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require  
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to  
convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by  
preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving  
acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the  
similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction  
during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a  
time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the  
convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time  
until satisfactory results are achieved.  
Convection Cooking Tips  
Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan-forced air  
to circulate throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum  
cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when  
performing multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Below are some  
tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when  
cooking with convection.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25˚ F (10˚ C) when using a  
convection cooking function.  
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be  
the same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or  
smaller load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking  
time. (Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack  
baking or cooking large loads.)  
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is  
possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods  
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods  
that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include:  
pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience  
foods.  
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,  
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3  
and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.

Baking Tips  
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn  
on the oven.  
DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the  
door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open  
the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.  
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before  
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in  
the center of the product should come out clean when done.  
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best  
results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in  
shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old,  
darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans  
heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Solving Baking Problems  
BROIL (Infrared Broil)  
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for  
the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important  
to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are  
accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from  
those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary  
for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.  
The broil burner at the top of the  
oven heats the metal screen until  
it glows. Heat radiates from the  
GourmetGlo™ 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 inches (5 cm) to the

Broiling  
Broiling  
Broiling Instructions  
Broiling Tips  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is  
used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.  
Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and  
the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed  
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking  
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.  
To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to  
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,  
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing  
food.  
Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches  
thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Convection  
broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than  
conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results,  
especially for thick cuts.  
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a  
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.  
The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural  
flavor inside with less shrinkage.  
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.  
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after  
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle  
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will  
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with  
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up  
the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can  
also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with  
the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent  
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.  
To Use Broil  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your  
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven function selector to “CONVECTION BROIL” or  
“BROIL” and the temperature control knob to “BROIL”.  
Rack Positions for Broiling  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does  
not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element  
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required. A  
built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce  
smoke and odors.  
Note: Note the appropriate effective cooking area on the broiler grid  
for each rack position. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom with  
95% effective cooking area. Position 6 is the closest to the broiler with  
25% effective cooking area.

Convection Dehydrate  
Broiling Chart  
Convection Dehydrate (CONVECTION BAKE)  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits  
and vegetables. With the selector set to Convection Bake and the  
temperature control on 200°F (93.3° 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.

Convection Defrost  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Convection Defrost (CONVECTION BAKE)  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no  
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
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.  
Oven Surfaces  
Several different finishes have been used in your oven. Cleaning instructions  
for each surface are given below. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL  
PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR  
ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.  
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.  
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.  
3. Turn the selector to “CONVECTON BAKE”.  
Control Knobs  
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION  
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and  
warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.  
DO NOT USE any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could  
remove the graphics from the knob.  
WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to  
remain in the oven for more than two hours.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
When the appliance has had sufficient time to cool, all stainless steel  
body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water and with a  
liquid cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do  
the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders.  
If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak  
the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or  
nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any  
other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or  
tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will  
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
NOTICE  
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning  
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food  
without the heat.
