Cooking Recommendations COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Bakeware The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food. Material Attributes Recommendation Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods. Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware. Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.
Cooking Recommendations 9 Cooking Conditions Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food. Condition Aging cookware High altitude Attributes Recommendation As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly. If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.
Cooking Recommendations Cooking Tips Convection Cooking Convection attributes Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven. Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once. Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking. Preheat the oven for best results.
Before Setting Oven Controls 11 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vents Types of Oven Racks The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Before Setting Oven Controls Luxury Glide™ Oven Racks The fully extendable Luxury-Glide™ rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall. Release lever Figure 4: Extendable glide rack with release lever in locked position Figure 3: Luxury Glide™ rack Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.

Setting Oven Controls Setting the Clock Setting 12 Hour or 24 Hour display mode When the appliance is powered up for the first time or when the electric supply to the appliance has been interrupted, the display will flash 12:00 (Figure 7). The clock display mode allows you to select 12 hr or 24 hr modes. The factory pre-set clock display mode is 12 hours. To set 12 hr or 24 hr display mode: 1. Press and hold set clock until 12 Hr or 24 Hr dAY appears. 2.
Setting Oven Controls Changing temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius The electronic oven control is set to display °F when shipped from the factory. The display may be changed to show either °F or ºC oven temperatures. To change temperature display mode from °F to °C or from °C to °F: 1. Press and hold broil for 6 seconds. 2. Once F (or C) appears in the display, press Self Clean to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature display modes (Figure 10). 3.
Setting Oven Controls No Preheat To set the No Preheat temperature for 350°F: No Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. 1. Arrange the interior oven racks. 3. Place food in oven and close oven door. 2. Press no preheat. 350 will appear in the display. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
Setting Oven Controls Setting Bake Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food in the oven. The convection fan will cycle on and off during preheat and after oven is fully preheated to allow best performance. Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C). For best results 17 To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F: 1.
Setting Oven Controls Convection bake Convection bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously (Figure 16). The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food types, but the overall result will be time saved. To set convection bake with the factory default temperature of 350° (176°): 1. Press conv bake. 2. 350° will appear in the display. 3. Press START.
Setting Oven Controls 19 Convection convert The convection convert feature allows you to convert any normal baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. Conv convert must be used with conv bake and may be set with cook time or delay start instructions. To set conv convert with the factory default oven temperature of 350°F (176°C): 1. Press conv bake. 2. Press conv convert. 3. Press START. 4.
Setting Oven Controls Cook Time Setting Cook Time with Delay Start The cook time feature is used when a recipe calls for a specific temperature and cook time. The maximum cook time setting is 11 hours, 59 minutes. Cook time instructions may be set with bake, broil, convection bake, convection roast, keep warm, and no preheat. Adding a cook time with a specific delay start allows the user to control exactly when the cooking process will begin and end.
Setting Oven Controls 21 Air Sous Vide Food Safety How Sous Vide Works Because sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, safe food handling is especially important. Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking medium of hot water or air. Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C).
Setting Oven Controls Vacuum Sealing To cook sous vide: Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the instructions that come with your sealer and pouches. 1. Place the sealed pouch of food on Rack 3 of the oven. 2. Press sous vide.

Setting Oven Controls Broil Recommended Broiling Times Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling will produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the broil element. Broil with oven door closed. Use the broiling table (“Suggested Setting when Broiling” on page 25) for approximate recommended broiling times for the types of meat listed.

Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast To set convection roast with the factory default oven temperature setting of 350°F (176°C): Convection roast combines a cooking cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. There is no need to reduce the oven temperature when using convection roast.

Setting Oven Controls Food Probe Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most effective way of insuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the food probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork. Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and removing from food or probe receptacle.
Setting Oven Controls Setting the Food Probe See the example below to set the probe target temperature to 180°F (82°C) when using the convection roast feature with oven set temperature for 325°F (162°C). When the meat probe is connected to the receptacle and a cooking function is started, the display will show the current temperature reported by the meat probe. Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
Setting Oven Controls Perfect Turkey Keep Warm The perfect turkey feature uses the temperature probe to control precisely the cooking of a perfect turkey. The convection feature gently browns the turkey's exterior and seals in the juices. The temperature probe is required with this cooking mode. The oven can be programmed for Perfect Turkey at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with default temperature of 325°F.
