Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance General Tips Pan Placement Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. Preheating the Oven • Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
Bake t Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time. Tips: • Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. • Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results.
Tips: • Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides. • If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1½” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). 27” appliances: 30” appliances: If you would like to convection bake cakes on 2 levels see the “True Convection Chart” for recommended rack positions.
True Convection T True Convection cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. True Convection is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly. The benefits of True Convection include: • Even browning.

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza. Tips: • English 33 For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
Roast t Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist. Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry. Tips: • Use a high-sided broil pan, or cover dish with a lid or foil. • Add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.

Tips: • Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. • Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick. • Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking. • Use the broil pan and grid included with the oven. • Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering. • Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see Broil Chart for examples).
Convection Broil à Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan. Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed. In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster. Tips: • Preheat oven 3–4 minutes.
Speed Convection Speed Convection uses all heating elements as well as the convection fan to evenly distribute heat throughout the oven cavity. The main difference between speed convection and other convection modes is that it does not require preheating. T Speed Convection is well suited for frozen convenience foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets. The benefits of Speed Convection include: • Decrease in cook time since preheating is not necessary. • Crispy and evenly browned frozen foods.
Proof t In Proof, the oven uses the upper and lower elements to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs. • Proofing is the rising of yeast dough. • The Proof mode temperature range is 85 ºF to 110 ºF. • The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100 ºF. • Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container. • Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.
Dehydrate T Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use Dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature (100 ºF – 160 ºF) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven stays on for 48 hours before shutting off automatically. Tips: • Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140 ºF.
