The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

The ACCUBAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

If the lower oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking and roasting, position the 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.

Press the number pads 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).

2.Press START/ENTER.

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

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the lower oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached and the oven is preheated, if enabled, one tone will sound.

3.Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the lower oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.

Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with this oven for more information.

To Convection Bake or Roast:

Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.

When roasting with CONV BAKE, use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
