Cooking Modes
USING THE 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 recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven
may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. 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.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower
element but also from the upper element to cook food.
To use this mode press the Bake pad under Traditional,
enter a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Bake with Direct Air
The Convection Bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat from the lower element
and also the upper and rear elements, along with air
movement directly down from the top of the oven to
enhance 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 pad under Convection, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended 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 uses heat primarily from the rear element but
also heat from the upper and lower elements, 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. Baking time might
be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would
be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press
the Bake Multi Rack pad under Convection, enter a
temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when
using this mode.
Convection Roast with Direct Air
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along with
air movement directly down from the top of the oven
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. 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.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility
of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 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 element 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 broiler or by
using Traditional Broil Lo or Convection Broil Lo. For best
performance, center food below the broil heating element.
Traditional Broil Hi
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the
upper element 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 under
Traditional and then press Start. It is not necessary to
preheat when using this mode.
Traditional Broil Lo
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. 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 under Traditional and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Broil Hi with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from
the upper element along with air movement directly
down from the top of the oven for improved searing and
browning. To use this mode press the Broil pad once
under Convection and then press Start. For best results
preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.
Convection Broil Lo with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from
the upper element along with air movement directly down
from the top of the oven. To use this mode press the Broil
pad twice under Convection and then press Start. For
best results preheat 5 minutes when using this mode.
Convection Broil Crisp with Direct Air
The Convection Broil Crisp mode is intended as a
finishing mode at the end of a cooking cycle to add
surface browning to a dish such as a casserole or a
roast. To use this mode press the Broil pad three times
under Convection and then press Start. Monitor food
closely to prevent over browning.
