Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs while the oven is in Sabbath Mode, the unit will return to Sabbath Mode when power is restored, however the oven will return to the off state even if it was in the middle of a bake cycle when the power outage occurred.
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 with the number pads, and then press Start.
Warm
Warm is only available in the upper oven. Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot. 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. See the Oven Controls section for more information.
Broiling Modes
Broil is only available in the lower oven. Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling on the upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil burner 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 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 lower rack position or by using the Broil Lo mode.
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 Start. 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 Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake is only available in the lower oven. The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses air movement from the convection fan to enhance cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the temperature when using this mode. To use this mode press the Conv Bake pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast is only available in the lower oven. The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses heat from the 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 Conv Roast pad, enter a temperature with the number pads. and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Oven Racks
Your oven has two rack positions in the upper oven (A, B) and four rack positions in the lower oven ( 1, 2 ,3 ,4). Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is sufficient space between pans to allow air flow. This may improve cooking evenness.
Removing and Replacing Flat Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position. tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a steam-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and right edges of the racks and/or rack supports.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking performance.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire. Damage from improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack. several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
Cookware
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 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.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to keep cool and operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
Cooking Guide
*When baking four cake layers at a time, stagger the pans as shown so that one pan is not directly above another.
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against food borne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations for food safety can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov. Make sure to use a food thermometer to take food temperatures.
NOTE: Remove unused racks when using the oven for faster preheat, improved efficiency and optimal cooking performance.
CARE AND CLEANING
Range – Exterior
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
Control Lockout
