Baking and Roasting
The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach
350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature,
oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks
can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce
preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set
temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened
to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper
temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
until the tone sounds.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking
or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
Frozen Bake
TM
Frozen Bake
TM
Technology automatically adjusts the
manufacturer’s bake time by combining preheating and baking to
deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait. There
are multiple preprogrammed food options. The Frozen Bake
TM
cycle have been customized to work only with these foods. When
using Frozen Bake
TM
Technology, it is important that you follow all
manufacturer’s instructions including venting, covering, stirring or
placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking
frozen meals, only cook items that provide instructions for cooking
in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the center of the rack
and select one of the rack positions recommended for Frozen
Bake
TM
in the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section and
bake only one package or pan at a time. Use the temperature and
maximum bake time from the package.
A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the
cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The
display will prompt you to add additional cook time if needed.
Broiling
When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended
otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door
to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place
the food in the lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off
to maintain the proper temperature.
■ 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, one may
be ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section
for more information.
