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 primarily from the lower burner but also from
the upper burner to cook food. 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.
Warm/Warming Drawer (on some models)
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to
3 hours. To use this mode, press the
Warm
or
Warming
Drawer
pad then press
Start.
Cover foods that need
to remain moist and do not cover foods that should be
crisp. Preheating is not required. Do not 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.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door 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.
Broiling on rack position 5 is not
recommended.
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
may use heat from the upper and lower 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.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode may use
heat from the upper and lower bake burner along with
air movement to improve browning and reduce cooking
time. It is not necessary to convert temperature. Check
food earlier than the recipe suggested time when using
this mode, or use the probe (on some models). To use
this mode press the
Roast
pad under
Convection
, enter
a temperature, and then press
Start
. It is not necessary
to preheat when using this mode.
Probe
Internal food temperature is frequently used as an
indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry.
The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature
and turns the oven off when the internal food
temperature reaches the programmed temperature.
Minimum temperatures for food safety can be found at
www.IsItDoneYet.gov. The temperature probe can only
be used with Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, and
Convection Roast modes.
To use the probe with preheating:
1. Press the desired cook mode
(Traditional Bake,
Convection Bake, or Convection Roast)
pad and
enter the desired cooking temperature.
2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe
Placement Guidelines in this section).
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the
oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet,
making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven
walls and probe outlet are hot.
4. Program the probe temperature by pressing the
Probe
pad and entering the desired food temperature.
The maximum internal food temperature that you can
set is 200º F.
