BAKING/ROASTING (CONT.)

4. When roasting, put your food in the oven. You do not have to preheat the oven when roasting, unless your recipe

recommends it.

NOTE: The oven will

cook normally even

though the preheat

countdown timer is displayed.

Roasting meats and poultry

For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.

Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thick- est portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

5. Press the start/enter pad.

A preheating time will count down on the display.

For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is

10 minutes.

For above 450°F, the preheating time is

12 minutes.

As the preheat countdown ends, the selected oven temperature replaces “PrE” on the display and the time of day reappears. You will hear a

1-second tone, indicating the oven is ready to use. The AccuBake system electronically regulates

the preheat time and temperature to maintain a precise temperature range for the best cooking results. The preheat and set temperatures may be different at the end of the countdown. This is normal.

You can change the temperature setting any time after pressing the start/enter pad. You do not have to press the start/enter pad again.

The preheating time will not change if you reset the temperature before the countdown time ends.

If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer is counting down, you can see the set baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds by pressing the bake pad.
