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 minimum cook time.
If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature
by 25 ° F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well.
These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies
and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom
browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
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.
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 8tart.
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 8tart.
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 Rack 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.
