USING YOUR OVEN

Set traditional cooking modes by following these steps:

Touch desired mode.

Enter desired cooking 

temperature.

Set optional modes (Bake 

and Roast only).
(See “Time/Delay Cooking” 

section.)
(See “Temperature Probe” 

section.)

Touch START.

The Bake/Roast Mode relies primarily on heat from the lower 

bake element and radiant heat from the oven cavity to produce 

the perfect conditions for cakes, cookies, quick breads, yeast 

breads, meatloaf, and baked desserts. This mode is perfect for 

foods that require both upper and lower browning.

■

During baking or roasting, 

the bake and broil elements 

will cycle on and off in 

intervals to maintain the 

oven temperature.

 

■

If the oven door is opened 

during baking or roasting,  

the heating elements 

(bake, both broils, and 

convection fan) will turn off 

approximately 30 seconds 

after the door is opened. 

They will turn on again 

approximately 30 seconds 

after the door is closed.

 

■

For baking, allow the range 

to preheat before placing 

food in the oven.

When roasting, it is not 

necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before  

putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
