How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Safety Instructions

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.

NOTE: On models with an OVEN TEMP knob, turn it to the desired temperature.

Touch the Bake pad.

Touch the + or pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

Touch the Start/On pad.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show PRE while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep several times and the display will show the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the Bake pad and then the + or pads to get the new temperature.

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

Touch the Clear/Off pad when baking is finished and then remove

the food from the oven.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 112″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Installation Instructions

Aluminum Foil

 

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of

 

the oven.

 

Never entirely cover a shelf 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 shelf

 

several inches below the food.

 

Oven Moisture

 

As your oven heats up, the temperature

 

change of the air in the oven may cause

 

water droplets to form on the door glass.

 

These droplets are harmless and will

13

evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
