Cooking Modes
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 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, when
available, 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 pad, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when
using this mode.
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, when
available, 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 I
Broiling is available in both ovens. For better broiling,
the lower oven is recommended. When broiling in the
upper oven, the door should remain CLOSED. When :_
broiling in the lower oven, the door should remain OPEN.
Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when Z
broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to
the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the
possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center
food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack (-')
O
position 7 in the lower oven is not recommended. O
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust 7<-
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the ::_
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a CO
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.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of
meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using
this mode.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat
andlor foods that you would like cooked all the way
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice and
then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot food hot, it is not
intended to heat cold food. To use this mode, press the
Warm pad then press Start. Preheating is not required.
Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not
cover foods that should be crisp. It is recommended,
for food quality, that food not be kept warm for more
than 2 hours.
