Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer.

Oven Vent

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering oven vents 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.

Baking

The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top and bottom burners 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, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

1.Press BAKE. “BAKE” and “000” will flash in the display.

2.Press PRESETS 0 on the number pad.

“350°” (“175°” Celsius) will appear when PRESETS 0 is first pressed. Each additional press of PRESETS 0 will increase the temperature in 25° increments, rising to 550°F (275°C) and then continuing from 175°F (75°C) upward.

Press the appropriate number pads to select the bake temperature. The Bake temperature can be set from 170°F (75°C) to 550°F (290°C).

3.Press BAKE again or wait 4 seconds. Bake will stop flashing and light in the display.

“100°” or the actual temperature will display. The temperature will rise in 5° increments until the preset temperature is reached.

4.For best results, allow oven to fully preheat.

When the set oven temperature is reached, 1 long beep will sound.

To recall the set temperature during preheat, press the BAKE pad.

To change the oven temperature during preheat, press BAKE twice, then PRESETS 0 or the appropriate number pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

To change the oven temperature during cooking, press BAKE, then PRESETS 0 or the appropriate number pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

5.When cooking is finished, press CANCEL.

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.

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 (provided on some models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 12500100.

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. Preheat broil about 4 minutes. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

To Broil:

1.Press BROIL. “BROIL” and “SEt” will flash in the display until the door is closed.

2.Press the PRESETS 0 number pad once to set HI Broil or twice to set LO Broil. “HI” or “LO” will be displayed.

Select HI Broil (550°F/288°C) for normal broiling or LO Broil (450°F/232°C) for low-temperature broiling.

After 4 seconds, the oven will start. “BROIL” and “HI” or “LO” will remain lit.

3.Press CANCEL when finished broiling.
