Oven Use Oven cooking guidelines Important! Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted.
Oven Use Oven Function Natural Airflow Bake Occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional bake setting. Infrared Broil The broil burner is located at the top of the oven.
Page 32
Oven Use Convection Roast The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.
