BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
NUMBER POSITION ON RACK
OF PAN(S)
1 Center of rack.
2 Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this
appliance.
• Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh and breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
V2" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
• Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

A. Oven vent
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.
Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning
Racks and Bakeware" section.
• If the lower oven is not in use, the upper oven will preheat
more quickly.
• Allow at least _/2"(1.3 cm) between the baking pan or
casserole and the top element in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
• When baking frozen, self-rise pizza in the upper oven, place
the pizza on a cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.
When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper
oven, do not set oven above 400°F (205°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 400°F (205°C) in the
upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.
• The back part of the lower oven bake element will not glow
red during baking. This is normal.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press the BAKE keypad for desired oven.
"BAKE" and "000" will flash in the display.
2. Select the oven temperature.
Press AUTOSET for 3500F (175°C) or the appropriate number
pads. Each additional press of the Autoset pad will increase
the temperature by 25°F (150C).
The oven temperature can be set between 1700F and 550°F
(750C and 288°C).
