Bake
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating casseroles.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the bake element will turn off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It will come back on once the door is closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and 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.Press BAKE once for 325°F (163°C), or press the number pads to enter a temperature. Each subsequent press of BAKE will increase the temperature to 350 (177°C), 400 (204°C) and 425 (218°C).
2.Press START.
Style 1: “Lo°” and “Preheating” will appear on the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a temperature of 170°F (77°C) has been reached, “Preheating” and the temperature will be shown on the display until reaching the set point.
When the set temperature is reached, 1 tone will sound, if on.
Styles 2 and 3: “Lo°” will appear on the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a temperature of 170°F (77°C) has been reached, the temperature will be shown on the display until reaching the set point.
When the set temperature is reached, 1 tone will sound, if on.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
Broil
(Maxi/Econo on some models)
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
■For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.
■Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
