IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
Rack Positions
Rack 5: Multiple rack baking.
Rack 4: Use for most broiling and multiple rack baking.
Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
Rack 2: Roasting small cuts of meat and poultry, pies, and multiple rack baking.
Rack 1: Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry.
Multiple Rack Cooking
3-rack: Use rack positions 1, 3 and 5.
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks use racks 2 and 4 for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model)
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System (on some models)
The ACCUBAKE® 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. 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 170ºF (75ºC) 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 Control Bake function uses only the bake element during cooking. This minimizes top browning of foods and allows more control of the cooking results.
It is ideal when baking pies, breads and casseroles and when roasting meat and poultry.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
Preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
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.
Convection cooking has 7 preset functions that can be selected by repeatedly pressing the CONVECT keypad.
| Convect Cook Functions | |
| Function | Press CONVECT keypad |
| Convect Bake (default) | 1 time |
| Convect Roast | 2 times |
| Convect Cook | 3 times |
| Cookies | 4 times |
| Turkey | 5 times |
| Casserole | 6 times |
| Frozen Pizza | 7 times |
Use Rapid Preheat to decrease preheating time when using Bake or Convect Bake. Use for all foods when baking on 1 rack.
For best results, use rack position 3 when using Rapid Preheat option.
For best baking and browning results, Rapid Preheat is not recommended when baking on multiple racks.
To Use:
When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display
