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.

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.

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 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 replacing 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 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 fusing 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.

Air Fry Cookware

  • Any cookware used on Air Fry mode should be broil safe. A dark surface. solid baking pan with low rimmed sides, such as a sheet pan, is recommended for use with Air Fry. The darker pan surface promotes better browning and crisping.
  • Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be used, but a sheet pan should be placed on the rack below the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking basket.

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.

  • Temperature Setting: When selecting a temperature, the traditional preset temperatures are shown and can be selected by scrolling horizontally and selecting the desired temperature. If you wish to cook at an alternate temperature, press the temperature in the middle of the screen and a number pad will appear so the desired temperature can be input
  • 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 option on the main menu and scroll to the desired temperature and press Start. Preheating is generally recommended 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.
    • Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended. Adjust the rack position in order to vary the grilled. Adjust the rack position in order to vary the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior are desired. For best performance, center the food below the broil heating element.
  • Broil: Select Broil on the main menu. then select High or Low depending on the amount of searing and the internal temperature that is preferred. The High setting is best for thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done on the interior. The Low setting is preferred for thicker cuts of meat and foods you like to be cooked all the way through.
  • It is not necessary to preheat the oven for these modes.
  • Convection Modes: These modes utilize heat from the traditional upper and lower elements combined with the convection element and consistent airflow to enhance evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion so that it automatically adjusts the amount of heat to maintain the proper temperature when using the modes with specified temperatures. Preheating is recommended for these modes.
  • Convection Bake: This mode is intended for single rack baking when additional airflow is desired to enhance evenness. Select Convect, then Bake, scroll to the desired temperature. and press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.
  • Convection Bake Multi Rack: This mode has been designed to allow for more even cooking when multiple racks are utilized. Baking time may be slightly longer than what would be expected for a single rack. To use this mode, select Convect, then
  • Bake Multi-Rack, scroll to the desired temperature. and press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.
  • Convection Roast: This mode is intended for roasting whole cuts of meat on a single rack. The utilization of all three elements and direct airflow down from the top of the oven improves browning and reduces cooking time. Check food earlier than the recipe suggests or use the probe when using this mode. To use this mode. select Convect. then press
  • Roast. scroll to the desired temperature. and press Start.
  • Convection Broil (upper only on double oven models): Convection Broil has two options: Low and High. Low and High are similar to the traditional broil modes with the addition of direct airflow to aid in searing and browning. For best results with the Low and High settings, it is recommended to preheat the oven for 5 minutes. To use these modes. select Convect, then Broil, then your desired mode.
  • Air Fry (upper only on double oven models): This mode is a special convection mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode uses hot, fast-moving air directed from above the food and is intended for single rack baking only. Select More, then Air Fry, then input the desired set temperature and press Start. The temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F. Preheating is not necessary for this mode. Follow recipe or package guidelines for set temperatures and cook times; adjust cook time to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines for using this mode can be found in the Cooking Guide.
  • Proof: Proof mode is designed for rising (fermenting and proofing) bread doughs. Press the More option on the main menu. then Proof. then Start. Cover dough well to prevent drying out. Bread will rise more rapidly than at room temperature. NOTE: Do not use the Proof mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures.
  • Warm: Warm mode is designed to keep hot foods at a hi temperature for up to 3 hours. To use this mode, select More from the main menu, then Warm, then press Start. 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.
  • Precision Cooking (upper only on double oven models)
    • These modes provide guidance and pre-set cooking algorithms to assist the user in cooking various types of food. The selection you make in the Precision Cooking menu will guide you to input the information required to help cook your food. Some cycles use a preselected oven temperature; in these cases. the temperature is not displayed. Some cycles automatically set a timer based on your selections. At the end of estimated cooking time. check the food to see if itis done to your liking. If it is not. add time by selecting +1min or just continue cooking. Note that differences in food shape. preparation and preferences for doneness can impact the time required to cook the food. Some cycles are designed to cook the food without preheating the oven first. For these cycles. the screen will show “Insert your food and press next to start the oven.” Do not wait for the oven to preheat when using these cycles.
    • Some cycles require the food temperature probe supplied with your oven. The target temperature for the probe is automatically set based on selections made. Always check foods using a secondary food thermometer as probe placement can impact the measured temperature. See Probe section for more details on using and positioning the probe properly.
    • On some pages will show up. Press to access additional information that pertains to the cooking cycles within that category.
