Preheating the Oven

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and
Convection Roast modes.
• Use Fast Preheat mode when a shorter time is desired to
preheat the oven.
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat
time.
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is
always displayed.
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the
"detected temperature" will turn off.

Operational Suggestions

• Do not set pans on the open oven door.
• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven
door window rather than opening the door frequently.

Utensils

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature
25°F (15°C) when baking in glass.
• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type of finish
on the pan will help determine the amount of browning that
will occur.
• Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect
heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of utensil.
• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick / anodized or
dark, dull metal utensils or glass bake ware. Insulated baking
pans may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this
could change cooking performance.
• Store the broil pan outside of the oven.

Oven Condensation and Temperature

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.
• Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that
allows maintaining an accurate temperature. Your previous
oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted
gradually over time to a higher temperature. It is normal that
you may need to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking
in a new oven.

High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time
will vary from the standard.
