The oven vents should not be blocked or covered because they allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking and covering the vents 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 vents. Some condensation may occur, however this will not affect cooking performance.

Oven Light

(on some models)

The oven light is turned on by the switch located on the control console. The oven does not need to be on for the light to come on.

Bake

The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results.

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 TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or “down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in increments of 5°F or 5°C.

2.Press START.

A preheat time will count down and “PrE” will appear on the display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times based on the oven temperature you select.

When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3.Press OFF when finished cooking.

The temperature can be changed any time after pressing START.

Preheating

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.
