Oven Racks

Your oven has six rack positions. 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 to flow.
Your Oven may have extension racks and/or traditional flat racks.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Traditional 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, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges of the racks.

Extension Racks
Always pull the rack out by its upper front rail to its fully open position, when placing or removing cookware. Extension racks cannot be used in the top rack position.
If extension racks are difficult to extend, lubricate the racks with the graphite lubricant provided with your oven. Remove the rack from the oven, remove debris in the side tracks with a paper towel, shake the graphite lubricant and place 4 small drops on the two bottom tracks of the left and right sides. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
To order additional graphite lubricant, read the Accessories section of the manual.
To Remove An Extension Rack:
1. Make sure the rack is pushed all the way into the oven so that side paddles on the rack disengage from the oven support.
2. Slide the rack toward you to the bump (stop position) on the rack support.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To Replace An Extension Rack:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the rack frame and the sliding rack.
2. Place the curved end of the rack (stop-locks) onto the oven supports, tilt up the front of the rack and push it in as far as it will go.
If extension racks are difficult to replace or remove, wipe the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the rack slides.
To Lubricate the Paddle:
Shake lubricant and apply to the moving parts of the paddle mechanisms as shown.


Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

CAUTION: Do not use ant type of foil or 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.

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 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.


Convection Bake (upper only on double oven models)
The Convection Bake mode is intended for 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. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to convert the temperature when using this mode. Baking time might be slightly longer for multiple racks than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode press the Convection pad, then select Convection Bake, enter a temperature, and then press Start. Always preheat when using this mode.


Convection Roast (upper only on double oven models)
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses heat from the lower, upper, and rear elements along with air movement from the convection fan 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 a meat probe. To use this mode press the Convection pad, then select Convection Roast, enter a temperature, and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.

Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling. Use caution when broiling 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, in single and lower cavities, 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.


Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper element 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, then select Hi Broil, and 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 element to cook food thoroughly while also producing surface browning. 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, then select Lo Broil, and press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.


Proof
Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. In some models, Proof is found by selecting Options. Press Proof and then press Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. Note that for double wall ovens, proof can not be run when running a clean mode in the lower oven.


Warm
Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods hot for up to 3 hours. In some models, Warm is found by selecting Options. Press Warm and then press Start. 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.

Probe

WARNING

Consuming undercooked food can result in foodborne illness. Use probe according to the following instructions to ensure all portions of the food reach minimum safe cooking temperatures. Recommendations for minimum safe food temperatures can be found at foodsafety.gov or IsItDoneYet.gov.

Internal food temperature is frequently used as an indicator of doneness, especially for roasts and poultry. The Probe mode monitors the internal food temperature and turns the oven off when the internal food temperature reaches the programmed temperature.
Always check the temperature at multiple locations in the food with a food thermometer after cooking to ensure that all portions of the food have reached the minimum safe internal temperature for that food.
Proper Probe Placement
After preparing the meat and placing it on the cooking pan follow these instructions for proper probe placement.

■ Insert the probe into the food, so that the tip of the probe will rest in the center of the thickest part of the food. For best performance the probe should be fully inserted into the food. If the probe is not located properly, it may not accurately measure the temperature of the coolest portion of the food. Some foods, particularly small items, are not well suited for cooking with the probe due to their shape or size.
■ The probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle.
■ For whole poultry insert the probe into the thickest part of the breast.
■ For boneless roasts, insert the probe into the center of the roast.
■ For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
■ For casseroles or dishes such as meatloaf, insert the probe into the center of the dish.
■ For fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Probe Usage
The temperature probe can only be used with Bake, Convection Bake, and Convection Roast.
To use the probe with preheating:

1. Select the desired cook mode (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) pad and enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads.

2. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
3. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven and connect the probe to the probe outlet, making sure it is fully inserted. Use caution, the oven walls and probe outlet are hot.
4. When the probe is connected, the display will prompt you to enter the desired food temperature. The maximum internal food temperature that you can set is 200° F.

To use the probe without preheating:

1. Insert the probe into the food (see Proper Probe Placement).
2. Place the food in the oven and connect the probe into the probe outlet in the oven.
3. Press the Cook Mode pad (Traditional Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and
enter the desired cooking temperature with the number pads. Press Options and select Probe then follow the display prompts to enter the desired food temperature.

Probe Care Guidelines

■ Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe outlet.
■ Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet
■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.
■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting the probe.
■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.
■ Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self or steam clean cycle.
■ Do not store the probe in the oven.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

1. My new oven doesn't cook like my old one. Is something wrong with the temperature settings?

  • Your new oven has a different cooking system from your old oven and therefore may cook differently than your old oven.
    • For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference. NOTE: This adjustment affects Bake and Convection Bake Multi; it will not affect Convection Roast, Broil or Clean.

2. Food does not bake properly

  • Oven controls improperly set.
    • See the Cooking Modes section.
  • Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level.
    • See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking Guide.
  • Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper size being used.
    • See the Cookware section.
  • Oven temperature needs adjustment.
    • See the Settings section.

    • This is temporary and will go away after several uses or a self-clean cycle.

22. Fan noise

  • A cooling fan may automatically turn on.
    • This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after the oven is turned off.

23. My oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color. Is this defective?

  • No. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking.
