Split Oven Rack

(on somemodels)

Split-Rack with Removable Insert

The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and casseroles. The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

Do not place more than 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) on the split-rack.

MeatThermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. 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 or 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 in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■Check all meat in two or three places.

Oven Vent

1. Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking and Roasting

ACCUBAKE® DUO SYSTEM® Temperature Management (on some models)

The ACCUBAKE DUO SYSTEM technology electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain the most uniform temperature control.

Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and broil elements for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
