INDUCTION COOKING

• Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cooler than with a traditional element.
• Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
• The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning off the power.
• Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
• Pan size, material (see the “Cookware” section), and positioning are very important to achieve maximum power.
• The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.
• If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

• Turn off all controls when done cooking.
• Failure to do so could result in death or fire.

The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results.

NOTE: Where 240 V installation is not available, this cooktop will automatically adjust to 208 V operation.

NOTE: The system is designed so that, if a 50 A total draw is exceeded for several minutes, the system will manage the power within the cooktop. In which case some of the surface induction elements of the main cooking area will be temporarily reduced in their power setting. If using the cooktop and oven at the same time, preheat your oven first for best cooktop performance results.

To Use

To Turn On the Cooktop:
In idle mode, all displays are dark except when a hot surface needs to be signaled. Place a pot on any zone, turn the associated zone knob clockwise to the desired power level. If a zone is powered with a pot and another pot is in a different zone, the cooktop will detect the pot in the different zone. If permanent pot detection is activated, only the cooking zone with a pot lights up on the display unit. The current power level of the corresponding cooking zone is displayed, and all the other cooking zones remain off. If a buzzer is available, a sound is played as soon as a knob is turned from the locked-off position to switch a cooking zone on. If the knob is turned to the locked-off position, the display disappears, and an indication for possible residual heat is displayed. If a buzzer is implemented, a signal is emitted when the control is switched off.

NOTE: Cookware has to be detected on the cooking area before the cooking area will energize. The display for that cooking area will show zero once a pan is detected. If cookware is on a cooking area and the cooking area is not turned on, the user may hear a clicking sound as the burner continues to detect cookware.

NOTE: If cookware is removed from the cooking area during cooking, the cooking area will turn off, and an indicator will be shown on the respective display area. If cookware is not put back on the cooking area within 30 seconds, the cooking area will automatically turn off.

To Turn On a Surface Cooking Area:

• The power consists of 9 positions plus a “Boost” position.
• Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

CHROME ELECTRIC GRIDDLE (on some models)
The chrome electric griddle provides the perfect cooking surface for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, burgers, sautéed vegetables, and many more family favorites. The attractive lowstick surface is designed to make cleanup easy.

• A. Drip tray
• B. Griddle

The chrome electric griddle system provides a convenient cooking surface.

• Be sure the plastic film has been removed and wash with hot water before first use.
• To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots or pans on the griddle. Use only heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
• The griddle surface is ready to use and does not need to be seasoned.
• Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle, resulting in an uneven cooking surface.

To Use:

1. Position the drip tray.
2. Push in and turn the knob to the desired temperature.
3. Wait for the preheat light to turn solid, indicating the griddle has reached preheat.
4. Place food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.

• The left griddle indicator light shows that there is power applied to the griddle.
• The right griddle indicator light blinks to show that the griddle is preheating. When preheat is complete, the right griddle indicator lights solid.

The settings and times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes.

Assisted Cooking

To Use:

To Turn On:
Push the knob in and turn it to clockwise to between Warm, Melt, and Simmer functions.

When melting foods, such as chocolate or butter, the knob can be set to the Melting function for level 2. Similarly, the Simmer and Boil functions can also be used as required.

To Turn Off:
Turn the knob Counterclockwise to the OFF position.

Boost Mode
Use the “Boost Mode” for highest power. Turn the knob clockwise slightly past the “9” setting for 2 seconds. An icon “b” will display on the cooktop to signal that you are in “boost mode”.

NOTE: “Boost Mode” has a max time of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes without any adjustments, the power setting will automatically drop to power level “9”. On the cooktop,p the Front zone 7-segment display (b) will blink.

Bridge
Use the Front knob to adjust the power for the bridge function.

NOTE: If you use the Rear knob to adjust, the bridge function will switch off.

NOTE: This mode can be used on one left-hand-side cooking area and one right-hand-side cooking area simultaneously or can be used on any one cooking area. Cooking area/areas can operate in this mode for a maximum of 10 minutes. The Bridge function allows you to use 2 cooking zones as an extra-large cooking zone. Use the bridge area to create an oblong heated area to cook with large or oblong cookware.

To Activate the Bridge Function

1. Both Zone (Front & Rear) Knobs must be in the OFF position; turn either the Left or Right knob counterclockwise to activate the bridge function.
2. The 7-segment displays    blinking “-”.
3. The knob that is used to activate bridge mode is the knob that adjusts the power level. The corresponding knob needs to stay in the “off” position. If you adjust the corresponding knob in bridge mode, it will deactivate bridge mode

To Deactivate the Bridge Function

Conditions:

• Front knob is turned to Othe ff position from the active power level.
• Both (Front & Rear) 7-segment displays go blank.
• The knob that is used to activate bridge mode is the knob that adjusts the power level. The corresponding knob needs to stay in the “off” position. If you adjust the corresponding knob in bridge mode, it will deactivate bridge mode

Child Lock/Unlock

• The child lock function can be activated by turning the first two knobs on the left of the appliance. Push both knobs in, then turn both knobs counterclockwise and hold for 5 sec. You will see the display show “L”.
• If the CL function is active, the cooking zones cannot be switched on even if the knobs are turned in a cooking level position other than zero.
• To deactivate the child lock function, repeat the same procedure as when activating it again.

Pot Detection
The cooking level can be selected by turning the knob to the corresponding position even if no pot is present. The output of power starts once an appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone. If the knob position is changed, the display shows the corresponding power level. If no pot is detected, a “missing pot” symbol is displayed after a short time. This symbol is shown until an appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone or the maximum time of 30 seconds expires. The same applies if the pot is removed during normal cooking. After 30 seconds without a detected pot, the cooking zone switches off automatically and can only be activated again after returning the knobtoo the zero position.

Ceramic Glass
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Maintenance and Care” section in the Owner’s Manual for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable.

• Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
• To determine which pan to use on which induction element, measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help determine which induction element would best fit your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

HOME CANNING

Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the “Cookware” section to check if the canner will work on the induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

• Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

• For best cooking results, do not cover the rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
• To catch spills, place foil on the rack below the dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
• When installing racks in adjacent rack levels, begin by installing the lower rack first.

Bakeware
To cook foods evenly, center the dish under the broil element and allow 2″ (5.0 cm) of space around the pan and the oven wall to ensure adequate air circulation.

Roll-Out Rack
The roll-out rack allows easy access to position and remove food in the oven. The roll-out rack will fit in all positions.

Open Position

Closed and Engaged Position

• A. Slide rails
• B. Sliding shelf
• C. Center brace

To Insert Roll-Out Rack

1. Angle the rack assembly up and insert the back edge into the “V” cutout in the rack guides of the oven cavity.
2. Keep the rack lifted at an angle and push in until the back edge of the sliding rails (A) bypasses the lower “V” cutout.
3. Angle the rack downward and continue to gently slide the assembly in until the center brace (C) bypasses the “V” cutout.
4. Raise the rack assembly to the flat position and gently push to the back of the oven until the back edge of the sliding rail drops.
5. When placing racks in adjacent positions, start by loading the lower rack positions first and then install the rack in the position above it.
6. Pull the rack assembly slightly forward until the front edge drops and the sliding rails are on the rack guide.

To Remove Roll-Out Rack

1. Push the sliding shelf in completely so that it is closed and engaged with the slide rails.
2. Using 2 hands, lift on the front edge of the rack assembly. Slowly push the rack assembly to the back wall of the oven so that the front edge of the sliding shelf sits on the rack guides on the side of the oven cavity. The front edge of the rack should be higher than the back edge.
3. Using 2 hands, lift the back of the rack assembly so that the front and back are level on the rack guides.
4. Pull the rack assembly out. To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack. Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.   When placing racks in adjacent positions, start by loading the lower rack positions first and then installing the rack in the position immediately above it.

Oven Vent
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near theoven vent.

Cooling Fan

The oven has a dual-speed cooling fan motor. When the oven temperature is in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow and better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable until the oven cools.

NOTE: Cooling fan may continue to run after the oven has been turned off.

COOKING MODES

(BAKE, CONVECT BAKE, CONVECT ROAST, CONVECT BROIL, AND BROIL)

1. Choose an oven function by turning the Mode Knob and
   • Temperature Knob to dthe desired selections.
   • NOTE: The Start button will flash white to prompt the user to press the Start button.
2. Press the Start button to begin oven function.
   • When a knob selection is made, and after some time of inactivity, the Start Button Indicator Light will quickly blink to prompt for the Start button to be pressed.  If no action is taken after 2 minutes, a tone will sound, and the unit will time out and return to idle mode. To exit the unit from idle mode, reselect a mode and Temperature Knob selection before pressing the Start button.
   • NOTE: The unit goes through a validity check to verify that the selected mode and temperature combination is valid. If a valid combination has been selected, the knob light and the Start button indicator light will be on. The Start button will begin to blink,k prompting for action.

If an invalid combination has been selected, the knob indicator lights will blink to show that the selected mode and temperature combination is invalid, and an invalid tone will sound.

Changing a Mode or Temperature while the Oven is Active
If the Mode or Temperature Knob is changed during a cycle to a valid selection, the Start button will blink and must be pressed to change the setting.

NOTE: The unit will not change mode or temperature until the Start button has been pressed.

If the Mode/Temperature Knob is changed during a cycle to an invalid selection and the unit was in a previous cycle, the unit will remain in the previous cycle until corrected. The knob indicator lights will illuminate to show an invalid selection has been made and will continue to light until corrected.

To Turn Off Oven:
Turn the Temperature Knob to the OFF position

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the rack in position 4. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4-5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

BAKE
The Bake mode relies primarily on heat from the lower bake element and radiant heat from the oven cavity to produce the perfect conditions for cakes, cookies, quick breads, yeast breads, meatloaf, and baked desserts. This mode is perfect for foods that require both upper and lower browning.

Know Your Bake Mode

• During baking, the appropriate heating elements and fan(s) will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
• Bake is used to cook up to 2 racks of food.
• For best results, allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the oven.
• If the oven door is opened during baking, the bake burner will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. It will turn on again approximately 30 secondsafter the door is closed.

BROIL
The Broil mode uses intense heat from above to cook foods quickly and is ideal when you want rich, flavorful browning of exterior surfaces. Use for steak, chicken, pork, fish, or vegetables like onions and peppers. This mode can also brown and crisp desserts or casserole toppings.

Know Your Broil Mode

• Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
• The broil burner cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
• If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the elements will come back on approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
• When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. Lowering the temperature causes food to cook more slowly. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
• Pull out the oven rack to the stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan of food from the oven. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To Use Broil:
For best results, preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place the pan in the center of the oven rack and center your pan under the broil element.

CONVECT BROIL
During convection broiling, the element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fans circulate the hot air. Cooking times will vary with the rack location and temperature selected. The elements and fan turn off immediately if the door is opened and turn on again immediately when the door is closed.

Know Your Convect Broil Mode

• For best results, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before inserting food.
• See Broil mode for tips and recommendations.

Keep Warm™ Option
The Keep Warm™ option allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

• Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however, it is recommended that foods be covered with aluminum foil to help retain moisture and avoid becoming dry during holding.

To Use Keep Warm

1. Turn the Mode Knob to the Bake position.
2. Turn the Temperature Knob to the Warm position.
3. Press the Start button.

NOTE: Keep Warm defaults to 170ºF (77ºC).

CONVECTION COOKING
Convection cooking can cook foods more evenly and faster than regular cooking. The convection elements are located in the rear of the oven cavity. They are assisted by the convection fans to provide balanced, efficient heating.

• A. Convection fan
• B. Convection element
• C. Broil element
• D. Bake element

CONVECT BAKE
The Convection Bake mode uses multiple elements and a fan to circulate hot air throughout the oven, resulting in baking 10–20% faster than traditional baking.

Know Your Convect Bake Mode

• When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 2″ (5.1 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
• If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fans turn off immediately when the door is opened and turn on immediately when the door is closed. Convection, bake, and broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
• Check food atthe shortest recommended package or recipe time. Allow more time for baking when using multiple racks.
• Use cookie sheets with no sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

AUTO CONVECT CONVERSION
Convection modes use additional elements and fans to distribute temperatures evenly throughout the cavity. As a result, baking temperatures and/or times may differ from traditional recipes and packaged goods instructions. Auto Convect Conversion automatically reduces the standard recipe time and temperature for convection cooking.

NOTE: Available in the JennAir® app.

CONVECT ROAST
Convect roast can be used for roasting meats, poultry, and vegetables. During convect roast, the broil, convect, and bake elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while thefan circulates the hot air. It is not necessary to reduce oven temperature when using the Convect Roast mode.

• A. Convection fan
• B. Convection element
• C. Broil element
• D. Bake element

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the fans turn off immediately and turn on immediately when the door is closed. Bake, broil, and convection elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

• The cook time should be reduced by 15-30%; however, food should be checked early to avoid overcooking.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

To Use Convect Roast:
Before using convect roast, see the “Positioning Racks and  Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1. Place food in the oven.
2. Turn the Mode Knob to Convect Roast.
3. Turn the Temperature Knob to the desired cooking temperature.
4. Press the Start Button to begin cooking or preheating the oven.
5. Turn the Temperature Knob to the OFF position to turn off the oven.

CONVECT SLOW ROAST
The Convect Slow Roast mode usesa loww temperature to help retain moisture for longer cooking time, resulting in more tender meat. Convect Slow Roast is particularly good for medium to large cuts of beef, poultry, and pork as well as less-tender cuts of meat. Food can be cooked up to 12 hours. The recipe temperature does not need to be reduced for this mode.

Know Your Slow Roast Mode

• Food should be completely thawed before cooking.
• Cover foods with aluminum foil to help retain moisture. Before slow roasting, meat can be pan-seared or broiled on all sides to enhance browning and flavor.

CONVECT PASTRY
This mode promotes maximum rise of flaky, delicate dough and finishes with the right balance of heat to promote golden browning. Convect pastry is ideal for single or multi-rack baking of cream puffs, turnovers, and croissants.

CONVECT FROZEN PIZZA
Convect Frozen Pizza is used to bake thick- or thin-crust frozen pizzas. During operation, the elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. The convect fans will cycle to distribute heat evenly throughout the cavity. Adjust the rack position up or down to increase or decrease top or bottom browning.

Know Your Convect Frozen Pizza Mode:

• Allow your oven to preheat completely before placing your pizza in the oven.
• If using a pizza stone, position the stone in a lower rack location and allow the oven to complete preheat. Typically, a minimum of 20 minutes is required to thoroughly preheat the baking stone.
• The fans and elements will turn off if the door is opened during operation and will turn on again after the door is closed.
• Reduce your bake temperature by 25ºF (14ºC) from the temperature recommended on the package.
• The bake time may be slightly less than stated on the package, depending on the pizza type.
• Convect Frozen Pizza is designed for single rack baking.

PROOF
The Proof cycle prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe or package for the number of times to proof dough.

RAPID PROOF
Rapid proof is used to proof commercially prepared frozen doughs.

Know Your Proof Mode
If the cavity temperature is more than 100ºF (38ºC) above the proof temperature, the knob indicator lights will slowly blink until the oven is at the correct proof temperature.

Before Using Proof:

1. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Place the bowl on rack position 2.
2. Close the door.

To Use Proof:

1. Turn the Mode Knob to the Bake position.
2. Turn the Temperature Knob to the Proof position.
3. Press the Start button.
4. When the cycle is complete, turn the Temperature Knob to the OFF position to end the cycle.

CULINARY CENTER
The Culinary Center is full of information to assist in baking and cooking a wide variety of foods. As you program this mode, you will make selections such as type of meat, vegetable, preferred doneness level, and pan type depending on the food. There are helpful tips and hints as you progress through the menu. The Culinary Center will make adjustments based on the doneness and pan you select. All of the selections cycle the appropriate elements and fans for the programmed food.

NOTE: Culinary Center can be accessed through the app.

NOTE: Some Culinary Center cycles require the use of the temperature probe provided with your oven. See Probe Operation for more information.

COOK TIMER (App Only)
The Cook Timer allows the oven to cook for a programmed length of time. The Cook Timer can be accessed through the app. Follow the prompts in the app to use Cook Timer.

Know Your Cook Timer

The Cook Timer countdown is started in several ways:

• If the cycle does not require preheat, the Cook Time starts immediately as the cycle begins.
• If a cycle requires preheat, the Cook Time can only be started through the app when the Start button is pressed.

TEMPERATURE PROBE (App Only)
The temperature probe is a tool to assist with evaluating the finish temperatures of meat, poultry, and casseroles. It can be used during Bake, Convect Bake, and Convect Roast. The oven will beep when the food has reached the target temperature.

Know Your Temperature Probe

• Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.

Before Using Temperature Probe:

• Remove any racks above the food that are not in use.
• Insert the probe into the food item. For meats, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the meat and not into the fat or touching a bone.
• For the most accurate temperature readings, insert as much of the probe shaft as possible into the food. Temperatures will be most accurate when more of the probe is inserted in the food.
• Place food inthe oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack.
• Keep the probe as far away from the heat source as possible. Close the oven door.

DELAY START (App Only)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

• Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
• Delay Start allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day and cook for a set length of time.
• Delay Start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
• Delay Start is available with any cycle that has a Delay Start option. The Delay Start can be accessed through the app.
• Follow the prompts in the app to use Delay Start.
• NOTE: Do not use Delay Start for items that require a preheated oven, such as cakes, cookies, and breads. If food is in the oven during preheat, it may become overcooked.
