Cooking Recommendations

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

Material Attributes Recommendation

Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware

is the best for even heating. It is suitable for

all baked goods.

Recommended cooking temperatures and

times are based on shiny metal bakeware.

Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny

bakeware.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny

bakeware.

Glass is convenient, as the same piece of

bakeware can be used for cooking, serving,

and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny

bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for baking

in gas ovens.

Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F

(13-14° C) when using insulated bakeware.

Cooking Recommendations

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Condition AttributesRecommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored, cooking

times may need to be reduced slightly.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook

time in the recipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to

maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids

evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as

needed.

Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.

Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce

evaporation.

Increase bake time or oven temperature.

Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in

recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow

it to rise twice.

Cooking Results

Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

Result Recommendation

Food too light Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Cooking Tips

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Oven Controls” on starting on page 13.

When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.

Preheat Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after

the beep.

Checking food Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.

Bake or Convection

Bake

Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see “Setting

Convection Bake” on page 17.

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Cooking Recommendations

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help

avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease

splatters.

If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Sears. Call 1-844-

553-6667 and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

Convection Cooking

Convection

attributes

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and

reduces hot spots in the oven.

Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.

Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection

baking.

Preheat the oven for best results.

Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry.

Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s

temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection

roasting time.

Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You

can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If

needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.

Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home

goods stores.

Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills

and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they

may be purchased from Sears. Call 1-844-553-6667 and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

Cooking Tips

Before Using Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm

air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for

proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do

not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with

aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may

appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or

any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks

or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distri-

bution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause

permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of

these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self

clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven

racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close

the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back

inside the oven cavity.

Types of oven racks

•Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and

may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven

racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches

the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both

sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly

and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are

level before using.

Porcelain coated oven racks:

This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which

can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean

this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that

the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of

vegetable oil.

To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of

vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle

or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

Radiant Bake Rack Positions

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

biscuits, and breads.

• Leave oven light off while baking.

• When using any single rack, place the rack in position 3

and place the food closer to the front of the oven rack.

• Bake is the recommended mode when baking cakes on

multiple racks.

• Convection baking is recommended for multiple racks

baking for items such as cookies and biscuits.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks,

place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See Figure 5).

• When baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads using

two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 4. Note: For

best results when baking such items use the convection bake

mode.

• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as

shown

Figure 4

Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space

between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,

resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be

necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to

prevent overbrowning of some foods. Shiny pans are

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook

time.

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat

distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It

also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the

same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides,

sealing in juices and flavors.

Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between

170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of Convection Bake:

• Multiple oven racks

Important:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking.

• Leave oven light off while baking.

• The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe

instructions have been written especially for convection

baking.

• Convection baking is recommended for multiple racks

baking for items such as cookies and biscuits.

• When using convection bake for cakes using two oven

racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 and position

bakeware as shown in Figure 6.

• For best results when using two oven racks for baking items

like cookies and biscuits place racks in positions 1 and 4.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use Conv

Convert to reduce oven temperature from the recipe’s

recommended oven temperature.

• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook

time.

Important note: The convection fan will begin rotating once

convection bake or convection roast has been activated. If the

oven door is opened when the convection function is active, the

convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking the oven interior and oven racks will

become very hot which can cause burns.

Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
