Oven Functions and Settings BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles. CONVECTION BAKE Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal taste transfer. BROIL Use this setting for broiling dark meats at 1” thickness or less where rare or medium doneness is desired. DEFROST Use this function to defrost foods.
Oven Features Oven Lights (x2) Broiler One fans Bake burner Rack Positions 30’’ and 36” ranges The oven has six rack positions and is equipped whith two racks. Position 1 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 6 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels.
The user may find other foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. It is recommended to use this function for single-rack baking. Please note that to pre-heat our SUPERIORE all-gas ovens, convention fan(s) MUST NOT be used; its/theirs use will slow down pre-heat times.
Baking BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake burner in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Many cook books contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner.

Baking 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. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.
Convection Bake CONVECTION BAKE Heat is radiated from the bake burner in the bottom of the oven cavity. The heated air is circulated by the fans in the rear of the oven providing a more even heat distribution. Multiple rack use is possible for the largest baking job.
Defrost Air is circulated by motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Broiling BROIL Heat radiates from the broiler located at the top of the oven cavity. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For “fast” broiling, foodmay be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element.“Fast”...
