Bake
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results.
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 TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or “down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in 5°F/5°C increments.
2.Press START.
A preheat time will count down, and “PrE” will appear on the display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times based on the oven temperature you select.
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
The temperature can be changed any time after pressing START.
Preheating
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.
Timed Cooking
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Set a Cook Time:
1.Press an oven function.
Press the number pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than the one displayed.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
2.Press COOK TIME.
3.Press number pads to enter the length of time to cook.
On some models, press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display.
4.Press START.
The display will count down the time in hours and minutes if the cook time is more than 1 hour, and in minutes and seconds if the cook time is less than 1 hour.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the oven display.
If on,
5.Press OFF.
You can do this step at any time to cancel timed cooking.
To Set a Cook Time and Stop Time:
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section.
1.Press an oven function.
Press the number pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than the one displayed.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
2.Press COOK TIME.
3.Press number pads to enter the length of time to cook.
Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display.
4.Press STOP TIME.

If on,
7.Press OFF.
You can do this step at any time to cancel timed cooking.
Broil
The top element operates at full power when heating.
Use this setting for normal broiling and top browning with the door open in the Broil Stop position.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
■For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.
■Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
