Baking Differences Between Your Old and New Oven

It is normal to notice some baking time differences between a new oven and an old one. See “Adjusting the Oven Temperature” on page 16.

Baking Notes:

•If the lower oven is NOT in use, the upper oven will preheat more quickly.

•Allow at least 1/2-inch between the baking pan or casserole and the top element in the upper oven. Loaf, angel food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.

•Do not use temperatures below 140° F to keep food warm or below 200° F for cooking. For food safety reasons, lower temperatures are not recommended.

•The back part of the lower oven bake element will not glow red during baking. This is normal.

•When baking frozen, self-rise pizza in the upper oven, place the pizza on a cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.

•When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper oven, do not set oven above 400° F. To use baking/ pizza stones at temperatures above 400° in the upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.

•To change the oven temperature during cooking, press Bake pad, then press the Autoset pad or appropriate number pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

•To change the oven temperature during preheat, press the Bake pad twice, then press the Autoset pad or appropriate number pads until the desired tem- perature is displayed.

•If you forget to turn off the oven, it will automatically turn off at the end of 12 hours. If you wish to deactivate the Automatic Shut Off/Sabbath Mode feature, see page 16.
