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

enter a temperature with the number pads, and then

.

Warm/Warming Drawer (on some models)

Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. 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. See the Oven

Controls section for more information.

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

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

press the

Conv Bake

pad, enter a temperature with

number pads, 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 uses

heat from the 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

Conv Roast

pad, enter a temperature with the

number pads, and then press

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

goods such as cakes and cookies.

as pies and custards.
