preheat, improved efficiency, and optimal performance.

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 before inserting food. Follow
recipe recommendations for food placement. If no
guidelines are provided, center food in the oven. To use
this mode, press the

Bake

pad, use the

and

pads to

adjust the temperature, then press

Start

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the oven door and drawer closed.
Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when
broiling on the 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

Convection Bake (on some models)

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. To use this mode

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 the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can block

airflow or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke or fire.
Damage from improper use of these items 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
