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.
