Convection Broil
The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, 
tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not 
recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other 
foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.
 In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection 
broiling is faster.
Tips:
Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more 
than 5 minutes.
Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.
Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal 
rack, for broiling.
Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to 
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to 
prevent smoking and spattering.
Turn meats once during the recommended cook time. 
Fish does not need to be turned.
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate 
the high temperature.
For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry 
Cooking Chart.
Proof
No preheat is necessary.
Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
The Proof mode temperature range is 85 ºF to 125 ºF.
The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100 ºF. 
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that 
accommodates the size of the container.
Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to 
check the rising of the dough.
Warm
Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot (for up 
to one hour) until ready to serve.
Warm mode temperatures are 150 ºF to 225 ºF.
The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170 ºF. 
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with 
a lid or aluminum foil.

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It 
combines intense heat from the upper 
element with heat circulated by a 
convection fan.
$
In Proof, the oven uses the lower 
element to maintain a low 
temperature to proof bread or other 
yeast doughs.
%
In Warm, the upper and lower 
elements maintain a low temperature 
in the oven cavity in order to keep 
food at serving temperature.
CAUTION
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. 
The USDA recommends holding hot food at  
140 ºF or warmer.
DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
