Cooking
Modes
49-80821 Rev. 1
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 and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting 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.
Bake
The 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 1 Rack
The Convection Bake 1 Rack mode is intended
for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat
from the lower element and also the upper
and rear elements, along with air movement
from the convection fan to enhance evenness.
Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe
Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert
the temperature when using this mode. To
use this mode press the Convection Bake
(1 Rack/Multi) pad, enter a temperature,
and then press Start. Preheating is generally
recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack 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 (1 Rack/Multi) Multi Rack pad twice,
enter a temperature, and then press Start.
Always preheat when using this mode.
Using the Oven
Wall Oven
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for
roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack.
This mode uses heat from the lower, upper,
and rear elements along with air movement
from the convection fan to improve browning
and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary
to convert temperature. Check food earlier
than the recipe suggested time when using
this mode, or use a meat probe. To use this
mode press the Convection Roast pad, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil
element in this oven is very powerful. 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. Broiling on rack position 6 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. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element.
