Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer.

Oven Vent

A

A. Oven vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Bake

The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating foods.

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.

To Bake:

Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.

1.Press BAKE.

2.Select the oven temperature using the Quickset pads.

OR

Enter the desired temperature using the number pads. The temperature can be set from 170°F (80°C) to 550°F (288°C) in 5° (1° in Celsius) increments.

3.Press ENTER to set.

After 3 seconds, the oven will begin to preheat. “BAKE” and “PREHEAT” will appear in the display along with “100°” (“38°” in Celsius) or the actual oven temperature, whichever is higher.

The temperature in the display will increase in 1° increments until the oven reaches the preset temperature. Allow about 15 minutes for the oven to preheat.

When the oven is preheated, the oven will beep and “PREHEAT” will disappear from the display.

To change the oven temperature during cooking, press BAKE and select a displayed temperature or use the number pads to enter the desired temperature.

4.Press CANCEL when finished cooking. Remove food from the oven.
