USING THE OVEN: 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 and Roasting Modes
Select a mode for baking and roasting based on the
type and quantity of food you are preparing. When
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and
pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe

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.

single rack cooking. This mode uses heat from the
lower element and also the upper and rear elements,
along with air movement from the convection fan to
enhance 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 Convection Bake (1 Rack/Multi) once, enter
a temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is
generally recommended when using this mode.

baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses
heat primarily from the rear element but also heat from
the upper and lower elements, along with air movement
from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this
oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling.

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
