OvenVent

A

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Baking

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, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

1.Press BAKE. “BAKE” will flash and “000” will appear in the display.

2.Press or press and hold the “up” or “down” arrow pad.

350°F (175°C) will appear when either pad is first pressed. Press the “up” or “down” pads to raise or lower the temperature in 5°F/5°C increments.

3.Press BAKE again or wait 4 seconds. Bake will stop flashing and light in the display.

100° or the actual temperature will display. The temperature will rise in 5° increments until the preset temperature is reached.

4.For best results, allow oven to fully preheat.

When the set oven temperature is reached, 1 long beep will sound.

To recall the set temperature during preheat, press the BAKE pad.

To change the oven temperature during preheat, press BAKE twice, then the “up” or “down” pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

To change the oven temperature during cooking, press BAKE, then the “up” or “down” pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

5.When cooking is finished, press CANCEL.

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.
