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 Mode

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SDGXVHWKHSDGV

to set the desired temperature, and then press Start.

Preheating is generally recommended when using this

mode.

Broiling Mode

Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely

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 top rack 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.

Cookware Guidelines

The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking

performance.

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 25º 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.
