General tips for heating modes

How to use bake mode

Use the bake mode to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles.
Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Note

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cakes, biscuits and breads.
• Use the convection bake function for best results when baking cookies on multiple racks.
• Allow at least 2'' (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
• Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

How to use convection bake mode

Use the convection bake mode for bar cookies and breads. This mode takes advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of convection bake include a slight decrease in cook time and a higher dough volume, for example yeast items rise higher with this mode.

Note

• Conv Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F. Refer to the cooking chart.
• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1½'' (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
• Allow at least 2'' (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
  

How to use convection multi-rack/true convection mode

Use convection multi-rack or true convection for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time.
The benefits of convection multi-rack include even browning and time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Note

• Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if auto convection conversion is not activated.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1½" (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
• Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

How to use pizza mode

Note
Follow these recommendations:

• There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time.
• When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
• If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer's recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza.
• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.

How to use roast mode

Use roast mode for large cuts of meat and poultry.

Note

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
• For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
• Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use in this mode.
• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

How to use convection roast mode

Use the convection roast mode for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of convection roast mode include as much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes and rich, golden browning.

Note

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
• Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
• If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

How to use convection broil mode

Use the convection broil mode for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Note

• Always use convection broil with the oven door closed.
• Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4 cm) thick.
• Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
  Fish does not need to be turned.
• Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex; it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

How to use proof mode

Use the proof mode to raise yeast dough.

Note

• Start with a cool oven when using the proof mode.
• Allow frozen dough to thaw first.
• The ideal temperature for proofing will be maintained until the mode is turned off. Dough has proofed when it has doubled in size.
• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Size	Time in min.
Loaf, 1 lb (4.5 kg)	60 - 75
Rolls, 0.1 lb (50 g)	30 - 45

How to use warm mode

Use the warm mode to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature.

Food may spoil when kept warm for too long.

• Do not use the warm mode to heat cold food.
• Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F (60°C) or warmer.
• DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.

Note

• ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal.
• Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm with this mode.
• Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only heat-safe dishes.
• DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening the door will reduce the temperature of the oven.
• When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven.

Getting the best results

• Minimize opening the oven door.
• Use the rack position recommended by the recipe.
• Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
• Store pans outside the oven. An extra pan without food affects the browning and cooking.
• The type of pan used affects the browning.
  • For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/ anodized or shiny metal pans.
  • For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick, anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F.

Preheating the oven

• Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated oven and require that the oven already be at a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for preheating recommendations.
• Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.

Bakeware type

• Metal bakeware with or without a non-stick finish, heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other utensils are suitable for the oven.
• Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may affect the baking time.

• Allow at least 1'' (2.5 cm) of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.
• Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above another. Allow 1½'' (4 cm) above and below each pan.

High altitude baking

When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary. For accurate information, go to www.csuextstore.com, or write to the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

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 will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Cooktop operation

Here you will find out everything you need to know about operating your cooktop.

Cookware

This information will help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware.

Suitable cookware
Only use cookware of a suitable size. The cookware must not overhang the edge of the cooktop.

Burner	Minimum diameter of the cookware base	Minimum diameter of the cookware base
Large burner	11¾" (20 cm)	10¼" (26 cm)
Medium burner	5½" (14 cm)	8⅔" (22 cm)
Small burner	4¾" (12 cm)	6¼" (16 cm)

Cookware recommendations

• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low to medium settings.
• Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.

Turning on a burner

Your gas cooktop has an automatic quick-ignition function.

1. Place suitable cookware on the burner grate.
2. Push in the control knob for the selected burner and turn it counter-clockwise to the highest power level. Keep the control knob pushed in.
   • a Sparks appear in all burners and the flame ignites.
3. Wait a few seconds and release the control knob.
4. 
   Risk of explosion! Escaping gas can ignite.
   • If the burner does not turn on after 15 seconds, turn off the control knob and open the door or window in the room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner again.
     Turn the control knob to the desired position.
5. If the burner does not ignite, turn it off and repeat the steps described above. This time, hold the control knob down longer (up to 10 seconds).

Note
In order to ensure proper operation of the appliance, observe the following instructions:

• The burner parts and burner grates need to be properly positioned.
• Do not interchange the burner caps of the individual burners.
• It is important to keep the appliance clean. Clean the igniters regularly with a small non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the igniters from suffering any heavy impacts.

Burner cap / porcelain enamel	Non-abrasive cleaners: Dish soap and hot water, ammonia, Fantastic Mild abrasive cleaners: Bon Ami, Ajax, Comet Liquid cleaners: Soft Scrub For food stains: abrasive cleaners such as Zud, Barkeepers Friend Rinse and dry immediately.	Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate the enamel. Remove soil immediately after the appliance has cooled enough to touch. Do not use wet sponge or towel on hot porcelain. Do not soak burner caps. Always apply minimal pressure with abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly and make sure the burner cap is seated properly on the burner base after cleaning.
Control knobs and grommets	Non-abrasive cleaners: Dish soap and hot water Dry thoroughly after cleaning.	You can remove the control knobs for cleaning the appliance. → "Removing the control knobs" Do not remove grommets or white rings. You will require Customer Service to refit them. DO NOT USE THE COOKTOP WITHOUT ALL PARTS FITTED CORRECTLY! Do not soak knobs or grommets. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners, such as Bon Ami, Ajax, or Comet. They may permanently damage the finish or remove graphics
Exterior finish / stainless steel	Clean with soapy water and soft cloth, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Condition steel with the Bosch Stainless Steel Conditioner (part # 00576696). Not for use on black steel. Hard water spots: Household white vinegar Mild abrasive cleaners: Kleen King stainless steel liquid cleaner, Bon Ami Heat discoloration: Bar Keepers Friend Rinse and dry immediately.	Do not use steel wool pads. They will scratch the surface. Stainless steel resists most food stains and pit marks providing the surface is kept clean and protected. Never allow food stains or salt to remain on stainless steel for any length of time Rub lightly in the direction of the grain. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel. Check the ingredients on the label before using.
Burner grates and grate bridge / porcelain enamel on cast iron	Non-abrasive cleaner: Hot water and detergent, Fantastic Mild abrasive cleaners: Bon Ami, Soft Scrub Stubborn stains: Soap filled steel wool pads Cleaning in the dishwasher: Remove burnton food prior to placing the burner grates in the dishwasher. Place the burner grates on the lowest rack of dishwasher and use the dishwasher manufacturer's recommended detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.	The grates are heavy; use care when you lift them up.

• When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

Overheated materials can cause fire or burns.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry.

Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.

Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.

• Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

• Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed.

• Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

A fire could occur during cooking.

• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil.
