Toasting - Upper Oven Only
(on some models)
For toasting bread and products that are toasted in a toaster or
toaster oven.
Lower oven cannot be operated while upper oven is toasting.
If the lower oven is operating when the Toast pad is pressed,
a beep will sound.
Toasting is based on time, not temperature.
Frozen foods should not be toasted in the oven.
Toasting times will be shorter when the oven is hot or when
repeated toasting functions are done.
For optimal results when toasting up to 9 pieces of bread or other
similar items, see the following illustration.

Convection Cooking - Lower Oven Only
(on some models)
During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air
circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air
around the food helps to speed up cooking by penetrating the
cooler outer surfaces.
NOTE: The convection fan may run in any non-convection cycle
or during preheat.
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with a method such as a toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats
and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or
3 different places, including the thickest part.
Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to
the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
When using more than one rack, position bakeware/cookware
on the racks to allow movement of the fan circulated air around
the food. See the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
For optimal cooking results, do not cover food.
When roasting poultry and meat, use a broiler pan and grid. It
is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless
recommended in the recipe. To order a broiling pan, see
“Assistance or Service” section.
