For Best Results
Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid 
temperature reduction.
Use the interior oven light to view the food through the 
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven 
temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
Use pans that provide the desired browning. For 
tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized 
or shiny metal bakeware.
Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will 
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. 
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the 
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow 
manufacturers' recommendations.
Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the 
length of cooking time.
Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven 
during cooking as this could change the cooking 
performance. Store pans outside the oven.
Opening the Oven Door
--
Open and close the appliance door only by holding the 
door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any 
other parts of the door.
High Altitude Baking
When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking 
times will vary.
For accurate information, write the Extension Service, 
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify 
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: 
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to 
evaporate from the food during any cooking process. 
The amount depends on the moisture content of the 
food. The moisture may condense on any surface 
cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control 
panel.
Temperature Range by Cooking Mode
Temperatures shown are in Fahrenheit.
Cooking Modes
Bake
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food 
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or 
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of 
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings 
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware 
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at 
least 1 1/2” space between pans or dishes and oven 
walls.
Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window 
to periodically check food for doneness instead of 
opening the door.
Auto Convection Conversion
Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes 
require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection 
Conversion reduces the temperature you enter 
automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe
