Seafood
The Seafood setting bakes at a lower temperature than traditional 
baking. This gives you moist, tender, evenly-cooked fish with 
results similar to those achieved when steaming fish in 
parchment paper. You can cook shellfish, fillets, steaks or whole 
fish with this setting. 
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid or a low-sided 
baking pan. 
Preheating is not recommended.
The convection fan will turn on mid-cycle and remain on for 
the rest of the cycle.
Very little to no browning will occur throughout the cycle. If 
browning is desired, use a higher browning level.
Breads
The Breads setting gives best results when baking yeast breads. 
With the addition of steam to the cycle, you no longer need to 
spritz with water or to add moisture into the oven to achieve a 
crispy crust and moist interior. 
Preheating is required. 
Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
Baking times may be slightly less than with standard baking.
If you are using a baking stone, place it in the oven on rack 
position 1 before beginning the cycle. For other bread baking, 
use rack position 1 or 2.
The oven will preheat to a temperature higher than the set 
temperature. It will then begin adding steam so the bread dough 
will go into a moist, hot environment, which is best for rising and 
crust development.
After preheat, place the bread dough in the oven as quickly as 
possible and close the door. The oven temperature will reduce to 
the set temperature, and a small amount of moisture will be 
added. The remainder of the cycle is dry heat for optimal 
browning.
Vegetables
The Vegetables setting gives results similar to steaming on a 
cooktop or in a microwave oven. This setting also allows you to 
steam a larger quantity of vegetables than a cooktop or 
microwave oven.
Preheating is not recommended.
When steaming vegetables use the default setting of 250°F 
and arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a low-sided 
baking pan. Corn on the cob can be cooked directly on the 
oven rack.
Check vegetables for doneness early. Freshness of the 
vegetable affects the required cooking time.
Steaming artichokes, beets, green beans and broccoli is not 
recommended.
Desserts
The Desserts setting gives best results for delicate desserts such 
as crème brulee and cheesecake that are typically baked in a 
water bath. This setting also works well for other custard based 
dishes, and souffles.
Preheating is not recommended.
The convection fan will turn on mid-cycle and turn off before 
the end of the cycle.
Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F to 50°F (15°C to 
30°C).
Allows the center of a dessert to bake without overcooking 
the outer edges.
It is not necessary to cook with a water bath.
Casseroles
The Casseroles setting allows you to bake an uncovered 
casserole without over browning the edges or drying it out.
Preheating is not recommended.
Covering the food is not recommended.
Cooking time may need to be reduced up to 20 percent 
compared to traditional cooking times. 
Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
Allows the center of the casserole to bake without 
overcooking the outer edges. 
Amount of browning can be controlled by adjusting the 
browning level.
To Cook with Auto Steam:
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
1. From the Main menu, touch STEAM COOK.
2. Touch AUTO STEAM.
3. Touch the desired Auto Steam setting.
4. To change the temperature, enter the desired temperature 
using the numerical keys.
5. To change the cook time, touch COOK TIME. Enter the 
desired cook time using the numerical keys.
