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

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 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

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 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 position 7 in the lower oven 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 Broil Lo.

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.

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.
