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.

OvenVent

1.Upper oven

2.Oven vent

3.Lower oven

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.

1.Broil elements

2.Bake element (hidden in floor panel)

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the lower oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil elements 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.Press BAKE.

Press the number pads 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).

2.Press START.

“Lo°” will appear on the lower oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the lower oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5° increments.

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

3.Press LOWER OVEN CANCEL when finished cooking.
