Using the Oven Oven Functions and Settings BAKE (Two-Element Bake) - Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles. CONV BAKE (Convection Bake) - Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal taste transfer. TRU CONV (TruConvec™) - Use this bake setting for multi-rack baking of breads, cakes, and cookies.
Using the Oven WA RNIN G NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Using the Oven Two element Baking Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard. Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element.

Using the Oven Solving Baking Problems Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven.
Using the Oven CONV ROAST* (Convection Roast) The convection element runs in conjuction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes.
Using the Oven CONV BROIL* (Convection Broil) The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefi t of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airfl ow also reduces peak temperatures on the food.
