A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model)

OvenVent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent 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 vent.

BakingandRoasting

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

(on some models)

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 or burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not

necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Preheating

When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 170ºF (75ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.

Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

■For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

Preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

ConvectionCooking

During convection cooking, the bake burner cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

Convection cooking has 6 preset functions that can be selected by repeatedly pressing the CONVECT keypad.

Convect Cook Functions

Function	Press CONVECT keypad
Convect Bake (default)	1 time
Convect Roast	2 times
Cookies	3 times

RapidPreheat

Use Rapid Preheat to decrease preheating time when using Bake or Convect Bake. Use for all foods when baking on 1 rack.

For best results, use rack position 3 when using Rapid Preheat option.

For best baking and browning results, Rapid Preheat is not recommended when baking on multiple racks.

To Use:

1.Select BAKE or CONVECT BAKE, and desired temperature.

2.Press START.

3.Press RAPID PREHEAT. Display will show “RAPID.”

When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
