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. 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.
• 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
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.
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.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
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. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. 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 turn your Oven Mode Knob
to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the
recommended temperature setting.
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. To use this mode turn the
thermostat knob to Warm.
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. Lower the temperature 25 degrees. 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 turn your Oven Mode Knob
to Convection Bake and Oven Temperature Knob to the
recomended temperature setting.
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.
