USING THE RANGE: 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 rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
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 press the Bake pad, enter a temperature with the
number pads, and then press Start/Enter.
Warm
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. Press the
Warm pad and then press Start/Enter.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the oven door closed. Monitor food
closelywhilebroiling.Usecautionwhenbroiling:placing
food close to the broil element increases smoking,
spattering and the possibility of fats igniting. It is not
necessary to preheat when using the Broil modes.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
elementtosearfoods.UseBroilHiforthinnercuts
ofmeatand/orwhenyouwouldliketohaveaseared
surface and rare interior. To use this mode press the
Broil pad once and then press Start/Enter.
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also browning the
surface.UseBroilLoforthickercutsofmeatand/orfoods
that you would like cooked all the way through. To use
this mode press the Broil pad twice and then press Start/
Enter.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is intended for baking
on multiple racks at the same time. This mode uses
air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Your oven is equipped with Auto
Recipe Conversion, so it is not necessary to adjust the
temperature when using this mode. Always preheat
when using this mode. Baking times may be slightly
longer for multiple racks than what would be expected
for a single rack. To use this mode press the Conv Bake
pad, enter a temperature with number pads, and then
press Start/Enter.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
movement from the convection fan to improve browning
and reduce cooking time. It is not necessary to convert
temperature. Check food earlier than the recipe
suggested time when using this mode, or use the probe.
To use this mode press the Conv Roast pad, enter a
temperature with the number pads, and then press Start/
Enter.
Proof
Proof mode maintains a warm environment for rising
yeast-leavened dough move this to the end of the Proof
section.
If the oven is too warm, Proof mode will not operate and
the display will show "Oven too hot for Proof".
For best results, cover the dough while proofing and
check early to avoid over-proofing.
CAUTION
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.
Air Fry (Lower Oven Only)
(on some models)
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat, cooking mode that is
designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than
traditional oven cooking. The Air Fry mode is intended
for single rack cooking only. Select 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 recommended for this mode. Follow
traditional oven 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 Air Fry Cooking
Guide.
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.
