Meat Thermometer

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. (2 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

Check pork and poultry in two or three places.

Oven Vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. 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.

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range 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.

If the oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking and roasting, position the 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.

1.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

Close oven door. The display will show “door” and the heating elements will not heat if the door is open when baking and roasting.

2.Press BAKE.

Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3.Press START/ENTER.

A preheat time will count down and “PrE°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the timer will continue counting down. The temperature setting can be changed any time after pressing START/ENTER.

When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will sound.

4.Press UPPER OFF, LOWER OFF or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
