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. 

Bake

The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This 
mode uses heat only from the lower burner. 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. To use this mode press 
the Bake pad, enter a temperature, and then press Start.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the main oven and broil drawer doors 
closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution 
when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food 
closer to the broil burner increases smoking, spattering, 
and the possibility of fats igniting.

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 burner 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 burner or by 
using Broil Lo.

Broil Hi

The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper 
burner 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 Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper 
burner to cook food thoroughly while also browning the 
surface. 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.

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 from the upper burners 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. To use this mode 
press the 

Bake Multi Rac

k pad under 

Convection

enter a temperature, and then press 

Start

. Always 

preheat when using this mode. 

Cookware

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking 
performance.  

Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily 
than light, shiny pans.  Pans that absorb heat more 
readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust.  
If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier 
than minimum cook time.  If undesirable results are 
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing 
oven temperature by 25º F next time.  

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked 
goods such as cakes and cookies.  

Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.  
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies 
and custards.

Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom 
browning.  

Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Aluminum Foil

 Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. 

The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the 

oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not 
covered by the product warranty.

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more 
foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls 
to prevent poor heat circulation.
