How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting

Your oven is not designed for open-door

cooking.

Touch the Bake pad.

Touch the number pads to set the

desired temperature.

Touch the Start pad.

The word ON and 100° will be displayed.

As the oven heats up, the display will show

the changing temperature. When the oven

reaches the temperature you set, a tone

will sound.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE

cycle, press the Bake pad and then the

number 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 cooking

is complete.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) B or C

Angel food cake, A

bundt or pound cakes

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C

cookies, cupcakes,

layer cakes, pies

Casseroles B or C

Roasting R or A

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 11⁄2″

between pans, from the front, back and

sides of the wall.

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

evaporate as the oven continues to

heat up.

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.

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.
