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 the minimum cook time. If undesirable results are

obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing

oven temperature by 25º F next time.

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. When

preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and

pastries, always preheat the oven first. To use this mode

turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Warm (on some models)

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. It is recommended that food

not be kept warm for more than 2 hours. To use this

mode turn the thermostat knob to Warm.

Broil

Always broil with the oven door and drawer 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, splattering,

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. To use this mode turn

the thermostat knob to the Broil setting.

Pre-Heat

Proper preheating ensures that the oven is hot enough

tobeginbaking.Improperpreheating(thatis,cooking

intheoventhathasnotcomeuptosettemperature)

cannegativelyaffectcooking.Dependingontherecipe

recommendations, the temperature of your foods when

they go into the oven may determine your final baking

time and baking results; if you put your food, such as

biscuits or breads, in during Pre-heat, they may over

brown on top or burn.

IMPORTANT: The more items to be heated in the oven

duringpreheat(thisincludesmultipleracks,baking

stones,etc.)willaffectthelengthofyourpre-heattime.

Always begin baking after the pre-heat signal. The signal

will be a beep, indicaotr light or chime. This lets you

know your oven is at your needed baking temperature.

For best results, turn the oven On before you begin your

prep work.
