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.
USING THE OVEN: Cooking
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 under Traditional, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake with Direct Air
The Convection Bake 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 directly down from the top of the oven 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 Bake pad under Convection, 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 Bake Multi Rack pad under Convection, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast with Direct Air
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 directly down from the top of the oven
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 the probe. To use this mode press the Roast pad under Convection, 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 on rack position 6 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a 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 Traditional Broil Lo or Convection Broil Lo. For best performance, center food below the broil heating element.
Traditional 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 under Traditional and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Traditional 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 under Traditional and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Broil Hi with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven for improved searing and browning. To use this mode press the Broil pad once under Convection and then press Start. For best results preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.
Convection Broil Lo with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper element along with air movement directly down from the top of the oven. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice under Convection and then press Start. For best results preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.
Convection Broil Crisp with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Crisp mode is intended as a finishing mode at the end of a cooking cycle to add surface browning to a dish such as a casserole or a roast. To use this mode press the Broil pad three times under Convection and then press Start. Monitor food closely to prevent over browning.
