Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help
you get the best results. These modes are described
below. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for single rack
cooking. This mode uses heat from the rear element,
along with air movement to enhance evenness. To use
this mode, select convection bake from the traditional
cooking menu, enter a temperature, and then press
SELECT. Temperatures for cooking foods in convection
bake are often set slightly lower than the same food
requires in a standard bake mode. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
foods on a single rack. This mode uses heat from
the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air
movement to improve browning. 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, select convection roast from the
traditional cooking menu and then press SELECT. It is
not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. Monitor food closely

positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats
igniting.
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 lower broiling temperatures. For best performance,
center food below the broil heating element.
The Broil Modes set to higher temperatures use
intense heat from the upper element to sear foods.

and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The
Broil modes set to lower temperatures use less intense
heat from the upper element to cook food thoroughly

temperatures for thicker cuts of meat and/or foods that
you would like cooked all the way through.
Broil
The Broil mode uses heat from the upper element. To
use this mode, select broil from the traditional cooking
menu enter a temperature, and then press SELECT. It is
not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Broil
The Convection Broil mode uses the broil mode along with
air movement for improved searing and browning. To use
this mode, select convection broil from the traditional cooking
menu, enter a temperature, and then press SELECT.
COOKWARE GUIDELINES FOR
TRADITIONAL MODES
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.
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.
OVEN RACKS
Your oven has three rack positions. For baking and
roasting, position the rack so that food is approximately
centered in the oven. Adjusting rack position is one way
to impact cooking results.
When baking with multiple pans, ensure there is at least
1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to
flow.
Oven Racks
Your oven has a traditional flat rack.
To avoid possible burns, place
the rack in the desired position
before you turn the oven on.
The oven rack has stops so
that when placed correctly on
the supports it will stop before coming completely out
and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
To Remove a Rack
Pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace a Rack
Tilt the front of the rack up, hook the rear locating posts
under the rack supports, push the rack back (past the
stoppers) and lower it into position. Push the rack all the
way in.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing a rack
from lowest position as door may be hot.
