Cooking Tips:
- For baking, reduce recommended recipe temperature 25°F to 50°F and cooking time. Closely monitor the first batch of each new recipe.
- For roasting, reduce recommended recipe temperature 25°F to 50°F and cooking time. Closely monitor the first batch of each new recipe.
- For convection cooking, it takes less time at lower temperatures than traditional baking.
- Center baking dishes on the racks for maximum air flow, allowing at least 1" between pans.
- Select a baking dish that has no or low sides like a broiler pan so that the air can circulate freely around the food.
Maintenance Features
Before You Begin:
- Remove and properly discard all temporary labels and packaging material.
- Remove protective plastic wrap from any stainless steel surfaces.
- Before turning on your oven for the first time, remove and wash the oven racks and rack guides in hot, soapy water.
- Wash oven racks, and oven rack guides in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
- Perform the Oven Burn-Off Procedure.
Oven Burn-Off Procedure:
The entire Burn-Off Procedure takes about 100 minutes. It involves removing the baking stone from the top oven before performing the procedure. New appliances are wiped clean with solvents at the factory prior to shipping. The Burn-Off procedure burns off any remaining processing residue. It is recommended to perform this procedure before first use of the oven to remove undesirable odors, flavors, and excessive smoke.
Cleaning:
The electric wall oven's eco-friendly Continu Clean™ works every time the oven is turned on, helping to keep your oven clean by removing oils and vapors without extreme temperatures or harsh cleaning chemicals. When your oven interior becomes heavily soiled, use the self-cleaning cycle to clean your oven.
Cleaning Procedures:
- Convection Fan Guard/Porcelain Enamel: Remove obstructions like aluminum foil or other particles. Apply commercial oven cleaner to a cloth and wipe the guard. Frequency: Once a month; more often with frequent use.
- Exterior Body/Standard RAL Colors: Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. For tough stains, apply a cloth soaked in hot water for several minutes. Scrape LIGHTLY with a nylon or rubber spatula. Frequency: As needed.
- Exterior Body/Stainless Steel: Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. For tough stains, use a commercial stainless steel cleaner and follow the cleaning manufacturer’s instructions. Frequency: As needed.
- Exterior Body/Textured Paint: Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. For tough stains, apply a cloth soaked in hot water for several minutes. Scrape LIGHTLY with a nylon or rubber spatula. Repeat body stainless section – be gentle when scrubbing textured paint. Frequency: As needed.
- Display Screen: Use damp microfiber or soft cotton cloth; wipe dry.
- Oven Interior/Porcelain Enamel: Use a commercially available oven cleaner. Follow cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. Frequency: Once a month; more often with frequent use.
- Oven Fan Guard: Clean the oven fan guard periodically. Keep the fan guard clear of obstructions. Apply a commercially available oven cleaner to a cloth to remove grease build-up and food particles. Follow manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
- Oven Racks and Guides: Remove and wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Dishwasher safe. Frequency: Once a month; more often with frequent use.
- Bake Stone: After the stone is cool, use a nylon scraper or dry cloth to remove crumbs or baked-on residue. Never use an abrasive sponge or brush. Never immerse the stone in any liquid. Do NOT use soap or water on the Bake Stone. Do NOT use commercially available cleaning products on the Bake Stone. The stone will darken in color with use. This is normal. Frequency: After each use.
Oven Light Bulb Replacement:
Only use a 25 watt halogen G9 light bulb. Regular light bulbs cannot tolerate oven temperatures. Make sure appliance and lights are cool, and power has been turned off before replacing light bulb. Remove glass cover, pull out bulb, push new bulb in, replace and press glass cover back into place. Hold replacement light bulb with a dry cloth; do not let hands make contact with light bulb. Oils from skin can shorten replacement light bulb life. If you do touch bulb, clean with rubbing alcohol before use.
Oven Doors:
The oven door hinges may require lubrication periodically to work smoothly. Whether this is necessary, or how frequently, depends on how and how often the oven is used. Open the oven door fully and apply a small amount of lubricant such as food-grade light oil or grease to the ball visible in the hinge slot on your door. Do NOT use sprays like WD-40 or CRC that may get onto the oven door surface. It is recommended to use a food-grade light oil or grease. Avoid using cooking oil or mineral oil.
Hysteresis & Offsets:
The hysteresis setting determines how quickly the oven responds to a change in temperature sensed by the probe. Increasing this number will make the oven react slower while decreasing the number will make it react faster. The factory default and recommended setting is 2.
- Oven probe offset: Allows to calibrate the center of the oven temperature to the probe location. A number followed by a + will increase the center oven temperature while a number followed by a – will increase the center oven temperature. The oven is factory calibrated and changes to this setting are not recommended.
- Product Probe offset: Allows to calibrate the product probe. A number followed by a + will increase the probe temperature while a number followed by a – will increase the probe temperature. The probe is factory calibrated and changes to this setting are not recommended.
- Bottom Bake offset: Allows to calibrate the baking stone temperature to the probe location. A number followed by a + will decrease the stone temperature while a number followed by a – will increase the stone temperature. The oven is factory calibrated and changes to this setting are not recommended.
