High Broil
Set temperature: Broil
There are two broil elements. In high broil only the inner element is on at a high
intensity.
Conv Broil (Convection Broil)
Set temperature: Broil
Convection Broil combines the intense heat from the upper element with the heat
circulated by the convection fan.
Conv Bake (Convection Bake)
Set temperature: from 150 °F to 450 °F
Convection Bake cooks with heat from a ring element behind the back wall of the
oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Defrost
Set temperature: Not applicable.
Does not use any heating element, only the convection fan is used to defrost foods.
By using Defrost mode, the defrosting time is decreased by half.

BAKE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are
used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and
rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size,
shape and finish of the baking utensil.
General Guidelines
•
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2,5 - 3 cm)
space between utensils and oven walls.
•
Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
•
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
•
Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass, glass-
ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
•
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from
recommended temperature.
•
Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
•
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
•
Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the
oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This
will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.
•
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
