Upper Oven Operations

Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual

Cooksmart™® Mode – Upper or Single Oven ONLY

Cooksmart™ combines convection heat and microwave energy to cook food in about half the conventional cook time (i.e. 12 minutes conventional time = 6 minutes Cooksmart™ time).

Cooksmart™ modes include: CS1 - Breads, Desserts

CS2 - Large Roasts, Poultry, and Casseroles

CS3 - Small Roasts, Poultry, and Appetizers CS4 - Vegetables

CS5 - Frozen Foods

Each Cooksmart™ mode represents a pre-programmed combination of convection temperature with a microwave power level. Enter the longest cook time that is called for in your conventional recipe. Cooksmart™ will automatically reduce time entered when preheating starts.

Set timer and check food when half of shortest recommended conventional time has elapsed.

Always preheat before using a Cooksmart™ mode.

Do not use Cooksmart™ mode when oven is empty.

Select bakeware that is made of either metal, oven-safe glass or glass ceramic. Metal pans become hot quickly and will yield more browning. Do not cover food.

Select rack level before selecting the CS mode. Remove all racks except one.

Rack positions are numbered from the bottom (position #1) to the top (position #6).

Do not allow metal pans to touch each other or arcing may occur.

When using metal containers or foil, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) spacing from oven walls.

When using microwave, Cooksmart™ or combination modes, do not leave an oven thermometer in oven.

Do not use paper towels in oven when using Cooksmart™ modes.

Food soil is more substantial in the Cooksmart™ modes than in conventional oven modes. As a result, the oven may require more frequent self cleaning.

Many factors affect cooking time. Always check food for doneness.
