Heating Modes available in Each Oven

The following illustrations give an overview of what happens in the oven with each mode setting. The arrows represent the location of the heat source during specific modes.The lower element is concealed under the oven floor.

BAKE or PROOF

Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements are used to heat the air and cycle to maintain the temperature.Proofing, while similar to bake, holds an optimum low temperature for yeast to rise.

ROAST

Roasting has more top heat than baking. This additional top heat is for conventional open roasting when drippings are desired or for covered- dish roasting.

BROIL

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element to give excellent top browning or searing.

CONVECTION or

DEHYDRATE

Convection is cooking with heat from a third element concealed behind the back wall of the oven. It is used with a fan to speed up the circulation of heated air throughout the oven. Dehydrating is similar to convection cooking and holds an optimum low temperature while circulating the heated air to remove moisture slowly for food preservation.

CONVECTION BAKE

Convection Bake has heat from the upper and lower element with circulation assisted by the convection fan. This mode is designed for breads and pastries.

CONVECTION ROAST

Convection roasting combines the heat from the lower concealed element with additional heat from the convection element and fan and the top element. The result is a drier, crisper exterior that seals in the interior juices. It is perfect for roasting tender meats in an uncovered, low-sided pan.

CONVECTION BROIL

Convection broiling combines the intense heat from the upper element with the circulation assisted by convection fan. This air circulation crisps the exterior surface and retains inner moisture in meats more than 1-1/2" thick.
