Baking and Roasting
Precision Cooking™ System - Precise Bake
The Precise Bake system electronically regulates the oven heat 
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature 
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or 
burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, 
the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for 
short intervals during preheating to provide the best results. This 
feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not 
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting 
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF 
(38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the 
actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat 
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected 
temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to 
preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 10 to 
15 minutes, depending on the model.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only 
one standard flat rack should be in the oven during Power Preheat. 
Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power Preheat. 
Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if 
preheating has already started, simply press POWER PREHEAT. 
The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in 
the oven and should be used only for one-rack baking. When the 
Power Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake 
cycle.
Broiling
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure 
proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes before 
putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. 
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of 
the oven rack. 
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is 
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise 
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the 
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish 
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 
7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” 
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain 
the proper temperature.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to 
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. 
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information. 
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually 
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a 
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a 
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more 
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding 
crustier breads.
IMPORTANT: With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked 
at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range 
automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) for 
convection cooking. 
During convection cooking, the bake, broil and convection 
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven 
temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will 
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is 
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
EvenAir™ True Convection
When convection baking, broiling or roasting enter your normal 
baking temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set 
oven temperature by 25°F (15°C).
