Roll-Out Rack

OVEN USE

  • Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.
  • During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation.

IMPORTANT:

  • The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.

IMPORTANT:

  • To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware.
  • For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.
  • To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.


Bakeware

To Remove Roll-Out Rack:

1. Slide the rack in completely so that it is closed and engaged with the sliding shelf.

2. Using 2 hands, lift up on the front edge of the rack and the sliding shelf together. Slowly push both to the back wall of the oven so the front edge of the sliding shelf sits on the rack guide located on the sides of the oven. The front edge of the rack and the sliding shelf should be higher than the back edge.

To Replace Roll-out Rack

1. Using 2 hands, grasp the front of the closed rack and the sliding shelf. Place the closed rack and the sliding shelf on the rack guide.

2. Slowly push the rack and the sliding shelf to the back of the oven until the back edge of the sliding shelf drops.

3. Pull the rack and the sliding shelf slightly forward until the front edge drops and the sliding shelf is on the rack guide. To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 25 Ibs (11.4 kg) on the rack. Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack's lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the "General Cleaning" section for more information.


Meat Thermometer

  • 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 1/2"(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.

  • During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
  • If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and both broils) will turn off approximately seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

  • Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the
  • Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Touch BAKE.

  • Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than
  • F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

  • Touch OFF when finished cooking.


Oven Vent

BROILING CHART

  • For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil elements, rack position 4 is recommended.
  • For diagram, see the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. A temperature setting of 500°F (260°C) is recommended. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.


Baking and Roasting

  • Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
  • During full broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat.
  • During center broiling, only the inner broil element heats. The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
  • If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the elements will come back on approximately seconds later.
  • 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 Kit, it may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for
  • Part Number W10123240.
  • For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
  • Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
  • Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
  • After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To Broil:

  • Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
  • When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise control. 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.
  • Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
  • It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
  • Close the door.
  • Touch BROIL once for Full broiling, twice for Center broiling.
  • Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than
  • F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and
