Traditional Bake

The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking.

This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, turn the selector dial to set the oven temperature and press to enter, then press Start . Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.

Broiling Modes

Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while broiling.

Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not recommended.

Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo .
