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 Modes
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, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
The oven must be closed during broiling. Monitor
on upper rack 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 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 Broil Lo.

recommendations, the temperature of your foods when
they go into the oven may determine your final baking
time and baking results; if you put your food, such as
biscuits or breads, in during Pre-heat, they may over
brown on top or burn.
IMPORTANT: The more items to be heated in the oven

know your oven is at your needed baking temperature.
