Bakeware

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Oven Vent(s)

Single and Double Oven Models

1. Oven vent

Double Oven Models Only

1. Upper oven
2. Oven vent
3. Lower oven

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow 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(s).

Baking and Roasting

1. Broil elements
2. Bake element

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

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

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking or roasting, position 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.

On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.

2.

Press BAKE.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (180°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F

Press START.

“Lo” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (75°C).

increments.

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