This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

Page 16: Timed Baking & Roasting
Using the timed baking and roasting features. NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
Page 17: Probe
Using the probe. (on some models) For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe or oven control.
Page 18: Using The Convection Oven
Using the convection oven. Convection Fan In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.
Page 19 Convection Roast Roasting rack Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. The convection fan circulates the heated Post air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a Grid rotisserie.

Page 24: Self-Cleaning
Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

There are three possible volume levels. 12-Hour, 24-Hour or Clock Blackout Your control is set to use a 12-hour clock. If you would prefer to have a 24-hour military time clock or black out the clock display, follow the steps below.
Page 29 Using Auto Recipe When using convection bake, the Auto Recipe Conversion feature will automatically convert entered regular baking temperatures to convection baking temperatures. The display will show the actual converted (reduced) temperature. For example, if you enter a regular recipe temperature of 350°F and touch the START pad, the display will show CON and the converted temperature of 325°F.
