Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking Modes
Select a mode for baking based on the type and
quantity of food you are preparing. When preparing
baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries
always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe
recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines
are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook
food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on
multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses heat
primarily from the rear element but also heat from the
upper and lower elements, along with air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness.
Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion,
so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when
using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for
multiple racks than what would be expected for a single
rack. To use this mode press the Convection Bake
pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always
preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely
while broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting. For best performance center food below the broil
heating element. Broiling on rack position 7 is not
recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo.
Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from
the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner
cuts of meat and/ or foods you prefer less done on the
interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad once and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker
cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked
all the way through. To use this mode press the Broil
pad twice and then press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.
