Meat Thermometer

A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a 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.

Oven Vents

A

B

A. Upper oven vent

B. Lower oven vent

The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents 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 vents.

Baking

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

■If only one oven is to be used, that oven will preheat more quickly.

■Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) 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.

■When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper oven, do not set oven above 450°F (232°C). To use baking/ pizza stones at temperatures above 400°F (205°C) in the upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep. Foods cooked using the baking/pizza stone may need to be removed from the oven early.

■On some models the convection fan may operate during preheating or during the bake cycle.

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

■Use only 1 rack in the upper oven.

Power Preheat

Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat rack should be in the oven during Power Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power Preheat. Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press POWER PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven and should be used only for one- rack baking. When the Power Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.

To Bake:

1.Press BAKE for the desired oven.

“BAKE” will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending on oven selection), and “350°F (175°C)” will be displayed.

“Set temp or” will scroll in the selected oven text area, followed by “Push START.”

2.Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired temperature is displayed and then START. Changing the temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect the performance.

3.(Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK TIME. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads to adjust the cook time by 1-minute increments until the desired time is displayed.

“Push START” will scroll in the selected oven text area.

4.Press START for the desired oven.

If only one oven is used, “Rapid preheating for single rack, Press START to preheat for multi rack baking.” will appear. If no change is made, “Preheating for single rack baking” will appear in the display. “Rapid preheating for single rack baking” will scroll in the selected oven text area. “Preheating” remains in the text area until the set temperature is reached. See the “Oven Use” section for more information.

If multi-rack baking is desired, press START for the desired oven again. “Standard preheat for multi rack baking. Press START to preheat for single rack baking.” will appear in the display, followed by “Preheating for multi rack baking.”

5.When the preheat cycle is complete, “Insert food for one rack baking” or “Insert food for multirack baking” will appear in the selected oven text area.

“Bake” will scroll in the selected oven text area until Cancel for the desired oven is pressed.

6.Place food in the oven when preheat is complete.

7.Press CANCEL for the desired oven when finished.

8.Remove food from the oven.

NOTE: If Cook Time is to be used when only one oven is used, increase the cook time by 10 minutes. If Cook Time is to be used when both ovens are used or multi-rack bake in the lower oven, increase the cook time by 15 minutes. When Cook Time expires, the oven(s) will turn off.
