Bakeware
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.
Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow
manufacturer's directions for using a 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.
Oven Vents
The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents
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 vents.
Baking
Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning
Racks and Bakeware” section.
■ Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or
casserole and the top burner in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
■ Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may
operate during preheating or the bake cycle.
■ When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper
oven, do not set oven above 450°F (250°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 450°F (250°C) in the
upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep. When
preheating with a baking/pizza stone in the oven, allow at
least 30 minutes for preheating.
■ Use only 1 flat rack in the upper oven.
To Bake:
1. Press upper or lower oven BAKE.
“BAKE” will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending
on oven selection), and 350°F (175°C) will be displayed.
“Set temp or” will scroll in the selected oven text area,
followed by “Push START.”
2. Press the number pads to enter the desired temperature.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing the number pads to enter the desired temperature
and then START. Changing the temperature once food is
placed in the oven could affect the performance.
3. (Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK
TIME. Press the number pads until the desired cook time is
displayed.
“Push START” will scroll in the selected oven text area.
4. Press START.
“Preheating” will appear in the selected oven text area.
“Preheating” remains in the text area until the set temperature
is reached.
5. When the preheat cycle is complete, “Preheat done Insert
food” will scroll twice in the selected oven text area.
“Bake” will scroll in the selected oven text area until OFF for
the selected oven is pressed.
6. Place food in the oven.
7. Press upper oven or lower oven OFF when finished.
8. Remove food from the oven.
NOTE: If Cook time is to be used baked goods, increase the
cook time by 15 minutes and allow oven to preheat. Place food in
oven when preheat is complete. When Cook Time expires, the
oven(s) will turn off.
Broiling - Upper Oven Only
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (not provided). It is
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
