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 25°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.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is
recommended to preheat this type of cookware if
possible. Additional cook time may be required.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, 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
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.

Oven Cooking Modes
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 rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
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/Enter
.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
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. Always preheat
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/Enter
.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses air
movement from the convection fan to improve browning
and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the
recipe suggested time when using this mode, or use the
probe (see the Probe section for more information). It is
not necessary to preheat when using this mode. To use
this mode press the
Conv Roast
pad, enter a temperature
with the number pads, and then press
Start/Enter
.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door/drawer closed. Monitor
food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling;
placing food close to the broil element or burner
increases smoking, spattering and the possibility of fats
igniting. It is not necessary to preheat when using the
Broil modes.
Broil Hi
The Broil High mode uses intense heat from the upper
element or burner to sear foods. Use Broil High for
thinner cuts of meat and/or when you would like to have
a seared surface and rare interior. To use this mode
press the
Broil
pad once and then press
Start/Enter
.
Broil Lo
The Broil Low mode uses less intense heat from the
upper element or burner to cook food thoroughly while
also browning the surface. Use Broil Low 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/Enter
.
