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. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and
pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this
mode press the
Bake pad, enter a temperature with the
number pads, and then press Start .
Warm/Warming Drawer (on some models)

foods that need to remain moist and do not cover foods

use warm to heat cold food other than crisping crackers,
chips or dry cereal. It is also recommended that food
not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. See the Oven
Controls section for more information.
Some models may also have warming drawers. Three
settings are available - use High for items such as
stews, meats, and potatoes; use Medium for items such
as casseroles and pizzas; use Low for items such as
breads, waffles, and also for warming oven-safe dishes.

Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking
on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses
air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the
temperature when using this mode. Baking times may
be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would
be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press
the
Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number
pads, and then press Start . Always preheat when using
this mode.

The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air

If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier
than the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.
