MeatThermometer

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.

Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh and breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.

A. Broil elements

B. Bake element

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

If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and both broils) will turn off approximately

30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1.On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.

2.Touch BAKE.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3.Touch START.

“Lo” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will begin displaying the temperature as it increases.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.
