Operating the Oven Starting Your Oven 1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level. 2. Determine the best cooking mode for the type of food to be cooked. Select from the following: • CONVECTION BAKE - A combination of the convection fan and a bottom heat source. Good for single rack items in a deep pan. • CONVECTION BROIL - A combination of the convection fan and a top heat source. Good for items that do not need to be flipped, such as thinner cuts of meat, fish, and garlic bread. • PURE CONVECTION™ - Uses convection cooking only for even heat. Use for baked goods and multiple rack cooking. • BAKE - Cooks with a bottom heat source only. Commonly used for basic recipes. • BROIL - Cooks using a top heat source alone. Use for grilling smaller cuts of meat or toasting bread. • CONVECTION ROAST - Combines top and bottom heat sources with the convection fan. Best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc. See pages 16 to 18 for detailed descriptions of the various cooking modes. warning In the interest of safety, keep the oven door completely shut when using the broil modes.
