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.
Traditional
Bake
The traditional 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.
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

recommended.

rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the

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.
Broil Hi
The Traditional 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 Traditional 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 and/or 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.
Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and
proofing) bread doughs. Press the Proof pad and then
press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out.
Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature.
Note that for double wall ovens, proof can not be run
when running a clean mode in the lower oven.
Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to
3 hours. To use this mode, press the Warm pad then
press 8tart. Cover foods that need to remain moist and
do not cover foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not
required not use warm to heat cold food other than crisping
crackers, chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that
food not be kept warm for more than 2 hours.
