Important!
In convection mode, a cooling fan may come on to prevent parts of the range from overheating; you will
hear the fan and feel warm air coming from the vents in the back trim.
*Note: BAKE can be used for proofing dough.

DEFROSTING
BAKE
This is a traditional mode for baking, roasting,
and reheating food, ideal for recipes developed
in older ovens. Great for your favourite roasts
and baked goods that have a pastry base and do
not require direct heat and browning on the top.
BAKE
CONVECTION
Similar to BAKE, but a convection fan in the back
of the oven helps distribute the heat more
evenly, resulting in quicker browning and shorter
cooking times. When converting recipes from
traditional to convection baking, reduce the stated
cooking time or temperature. For some recipes,
reducing both slightly may give the best results.
•
BROILING
BROIL
Intense heat from the top browns or ‘finishes off’
your meals. Broiling also gives you a healthier
alternative to frying or searing meat. For broiling
that requires a quick burst of intense heat, use
this mode with the temperature set to BROIL
(= maximum intensity).
BROIL
CONVECTION
Intense heat from the top is distributed by the
convection fan, giving a finish similar to a
rotisserie: meat is crispy and evenly browned on
the outside, juicy and tender in the middle. Also
great for cooking vegetables and suitable for
foods that you would normally pan-fry or grill.

If baking on
more than one shelf,
ensure items or pans are
staggered on shelves so
that one is never directly
above another.
•
Center items in the
oven as much as possible
for best air circulation.
•
For baking: preheat the oven
for about 15 minutes or less for your
desired temperature.
•
For roasting and reheating,
you don’t need to preheat the oven.

•
Always broil with
the oven door closed.
•
For best results,
place food on the broil/
roast pan and grid and
center it under the broiler.
•
Use a higher shelf
position for items that
require quick broiling, and
lower ones that need more
time to cook through.
•
The oven generally doesn’t
need preheating for broiling.
•
However, for best results
when you want quick browning or
searing, we recommend you let the
broiler heat for about 5-8 minutes
before placing food in the oven.
