Oven 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 recommended rack positions and other tips for using these modes
Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Place racks in the desired position(s) prior to starting the oven. For some cooking modes, such as Bake, Convection
Bake, and Convection Roast, the oven will preheat and a tone will sound when the oven is ready for cooking. Some
cooking modes do not require preheating. To reduce preheating times, remove unused racks and avoid opening the
oven door until the preheat tone sounds.
While in use, oven heaters will cycle on and off as needed to maintain appropriate cooking conditions. Avoid
frequently opening the oven door, as this can impact cooking times and performance.
Bake
The Bake mode is intended for baking and roasting on a
single rack. To use this mode, press the
Bake pad and
use the number pads to set the desired temperature,
then press
Start .
Preheating is generally recommended when using this
mode, especially for preparing baked goods such as
cakes, cookies, and pastries.
Broil Modes

broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer
to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and
fats igniting. For best performance center food below the
broil heating element. Try broiling foods that you would
normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity
of the heat to the food. Always use the Broil mode with
the oven door closed.
Broil High
Broil High uses intense heat from the upper element to

when you would like to have a seared surface and less
done interior. To use this mode press the
Broil pad once
and then press Start .
It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Broil Low
Broil Low uses less intense heat from the upper element
to cook food thoroughly while also browning the surface.

you would like cooked all the way through. To use this
mode, press the
Broil pad twice and then press Start .
It is not necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Convection Bake Multi Rack
The Convection Bake Multi Rack mode is intended for
baking on multiple racks at the same time. This mode
uses heat from the upper and lower elements, along
with air movement from the convection fan to enhance
cooking evenness. Baking time might be slightly longer
for multiple racks than what would be expected for a
single rack.
Your oven is equipped with Auto Recipe Conversion,
so it is not necessary to adjust from conventional Bake
temperatures to Convection Bake temperatures when
using this mode. See the Settings section for more
information on Auto Recipe Conversion.
To use this mode, press the Convection Bake/Roast
pad once and use the number pads to set the desired
temperature, then press
Start .
Always preheat when using this mode.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is intended for roasting
whole cuts of meat on a single rack. This mode uses
heat from the upper and lower elements along with air
movement from the convection fan to improve browning
and reduce cooking time. Check food earlier than the
recipe suggested time when using this mode or use a
meat probe.
To use this mode, press the Convection Bake/Roast
pad twice and use the number pads to set the desired
temperature, then press
Start .
Air Fry
The Air Fry mode is a special convection mode that uses
hot, fast-moving air and is designed to produce foods
with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The
Air Fry mode is intended for single rack cooking only.
To use this mode, press the
Air Fry pad and use the
number pads to set the desired temperature, then press
Start .
The temperature can be set between 300ºF and 500ºF.
Preheating is not necessary for this mode. Follow
recipe or package traditional bake guidelines for set
temperatures and cook times and adjust the cook time
to achieve your desired crispness. Additional guidelines
for using this mode can be found in the Air Fry Cooking
Guide.
