Built-in Ovens Model: POD301, POD302, & PODC302

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.

Setting the Cooking Mode and Temperature:

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

ovens) illuminates as soon as a valid cooking mode temperature has

been selected.

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.

Setting the Clock:

To set the clock, no

Stop Time can be active.

To Set the Analog Clock:

Press

SELECT repeatedly until “CLOCK

appears in the display.

Press and hold “

+” until the desired time is

reached.

The time is accepted after a few seconds and the

clock starts running. “

CLOCK” disappears from

the display.

Caution:

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions

before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when

the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the

oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating

elements.
