Baking
VDR/CVDR Dual Fuel Ranges
BAKE (Two-Element Bake)
Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and
supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element. This function is recommended for single
rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner.
Conventional baking/ roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature.
Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.
To Use BAKE Function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.
2. Close the door.
3. Set the oven function selector to “BAKE” and oven temperature control knob to desired temperature.
CONV BAKE (Convection Bake)
The bottom element operates at full power, and the top broil element operates at
supplemental power. The heated air is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the
oven providing a more even heat distribution. This even circulation of air equalizes the
temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in
conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in
quantity using multiple racks— a feature not possible in a standard oven.
When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing meats on the outside
and retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. With this
heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste
transfer, even when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing
frozen food.
To Use CONV BAKE Function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
oven on.
2. Close the door.
3. Set the oven function selector to “CONV BAKE” and the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature.
TRU CONV (TruConvec™)
The rear element only operates at full power. There is no direct heat from the bottom or top
elements. The motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air in the oven cavity for even
heating. Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles,
yeast breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out
evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is required. Use this function for
single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This
setting is also recommended when baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.
To Use TRU CONV Function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.
2. Close the door.
3. Set the oven function selector to “TRU CONV” and the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature.
Pan Placement Tips
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the
rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the
3rd and 5th position for more consistent even baking.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly
above another.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even
air circulation.
