Using the Oven

Preheat

For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature.

Therefore, placing food items in the oven during preheat mode is not recommended. The Preheat System is engineered so that the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which will provide the optimum cooking environment based on the selected cooking mode in the shortest possible time.

Meat Probe Function

Cable Probe

The meat probe takes the guesswork

 

out of roasting by cooking foods to the

 

ideal internal temperature. The probe

 

temperature setting is used to notify

 

the user when the internal temperature

Handles

of the meat being roasted is reached.

To Set the Automatic Probe

Function

1.Insert probe into the meat and slide into oven.

2.Plug the probe into the outlet located on right interior wall of the oven and close oven door.

3.Select cooking function and set temperature.

4.Press the “PROBE TEMP” button.

5.Turn the “SET” knob to the desired internal temperature. The word PROBE and the desired internal temperature will be displayed on the lower right of the clock. On double ovens, the manual/timed control must be turned to “UPPER TIMED.”

Note: It is recommended to set the internal temperature about

10 degrees lower than actual desired internal temperature. The meat will continue to cook when removed from the oven and will reach desired internal temperature while “standing”.

The word PROBE flashes and tone sounds three times when desired temperature is reached. The tone will sound twice every 10 seconds after completion until probe function is closed.

Using the Oven

Rack Positions

Each oven is equipped with three heavy-duty racks, including two TruGlide™ racks. With the TruGlide™ racks, the bottom section remains in the oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled. This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain a lot of juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the five rack positions.

All ovens have five rack positions. Position 5 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time.

It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

1.Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

2.Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector is turned to “OFF”.

3.Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.

4.Place the food in the oven after the oven indicator light goes out.
