Using the upper oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

The oven has 6 rack positions.

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired temperature.

Touch the START pad.

NOTE: You will hear the convection fan while

Offset rack the oven is preheating. The fan will stop after the oven is preheated and the display

shows your set temperature. This is normal.

Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.

Flat rack

Offset rack

Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10–15 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ to 11⁄2″ of air space around it.

If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you

do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.
