Baking
When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual and you may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.
How to Bake
Step 1: Place food in oven, being certain to leave about 1 inch of space between pans and walls of oven for good circulation of heat. Close oven door. During baking, avoid frequent door openings to prevent undesirable results.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to temperature on recipe or on Baking Guide.
Step 3: Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
The automatic oven timer controls are designed to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times
that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) or Delayed Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off at a preset stop time) will be described.
How to Set Immediate Start
N~E: Before beginning make sure the range clock shows the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting oven to start baking now and turning off at a later time automatically. Remember, foods continue cooking after controls are off.
Step 1: To set Stop Time, push in knob on STOP dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn off; for example 6:00. The DELAYED START dial should beat the same position as the time of day on clock.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to oven temperature, for example 250°F. The oven will start immediately and stop at the time you have set.
How to Set Delayed Start and Stop
Delayed Start and Stop is setting the oven timer to turn the oven on and off automatically at a later time than the present time of day.
Step 1: To set start time, push in knob on DELAYED START dial (some models may say START) and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn on, for example 3:30.
Step 2: To set Stop Time, push in knob on STOP dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn off, for example 6:00. This means your recipe called for two and
NOTE: Time on STOP dial must be later than time shown on range clock and DELAYED START dial.
Step 3: Turn OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to 250°F. or recommended temperature.
Place food in oven, close the door
and automatically the oven will be .— turned on and off at the times you have set. Turn OVEN SET to OFF and remove food from oven.
