Cooking Guide and Tips (continued)
Oven
• Important: Wait for pre-heat cycle to be completed
before placing food in the oven. All of the elements
are on during pre-heat and food may burn.
• If preheat is not required, a bypass option is
available. After selecting the cooking mode, the
display screen will indicate preheat on or off. Press
OFF to bypass the preheat. Not using preheat will
result in longer cooking times.
• Center items on oven racks evenly for even baking.
• When loading the oven, work as quickly as possible
to prevent loss of heat.
• When practical, cook the item that requires the
lowest temperature rst then gradually raise the
temperature for each additional item.
• Roast meat with the fat side facing up to self-baste
and shrink less.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup to avoid
re.
• Avoid using aluminum foil in the oven and do not
place it on the bottom of the oven as it could cause
damage.
• After using the oven, do not touch the appliance
until it is completely cooled.
Oven Rack Positions
Selecting the proper rack position is important and
depending on where you place your food, it could make
or break your recipe. For example, baking a pizza on the
top rack will not provide an extra crispy bottom crust or
baking a single rack of cookies on the bottom rack could
mean darker cookies than you prefer. Ideal rack
positions will help deliver optimal results for all your
meals, whether baking, roasting or broiling.
Below is a general guideline for rack positions:
Top — For rich and even browning, stick with the top rack
especially when broiling foods like salmon and steak. In
broil mode, all the heat is generated from the broil
element that is positioned on top of the oven. In bake
mode, the element is located on the bottom of the oven,
but heat still rises, making the top rack warmer than the
others. So, when baking dishes that you want to brown
or crisp, like casseroles and gratins, the top rack will
provide the best results.
Middle — If unsure of which rack position to use, it is best
to stick with the middle rack as it is positioned in the
center of all the heating elements. For most baking and
roasting, the middle rack will cook food more evenly.
Keep in mind that this rule applies for single rack
cooking only when you are making one dish at a time.
Bottom — If you want to brown the underside of your
roasted vegetables, bread or crusty pizza, move the rack
to the lowest position closest to the heat source. It is
especially benecial to start fruit pies on a preheated
baking sheet in the bottom rack because it helps the
bottom crust get nicely browned.
