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 minimum cook time. If undesirable results are
obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
oven temperature by 25º F next time.

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 Mode
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, use the + - pads to set
the desired temperature, and then press Start. Preheating
is generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Mode
Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of
fats igniting. For best performance center food below
the broil heating element. Broiling on top rack 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 Broil Lo.

Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked
goods such as cakes and cookies.

and custards.

browning.
