Cooking Modes

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.
Temperature Setting
When selecting a temperature, the traditional preset
temperatures are shown and can be selected by
temperature, press the temperature in the middle of the
screen and a number pad will appear so the desired
temperature can be input.
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 option on the main
menu and scroll to the desired temperature and press
Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using
this mode.

increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility
of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not
recommended.

is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion so that it

these modes.
