must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok. Never place a support ring, such as a wok ring or trivet, on the cooking surface.

Getting the Most Out of Your Oven

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top.

Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.

The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

•Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.

•Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, and Warm modes.

•Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes.

•Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.

•Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

•Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

•Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating time.

Preheat Reminders

Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.

•Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.

•Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and frozen foods.

•Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.

•Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350³ F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
