To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front

edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration as a guide.

Rack Positions

Rack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty foods

Rack 4: 2-rack baking and broiling

Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, mufﬁn pan, or jelly

roll pan; and layer cakes. Broiling chicken pieces

Rack 2: Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, frozen

convenience foods, and 2-rack baking

Rack 1: Roasting large and small cuts of meat and poultry

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, place ﬂat racks in

positions 2 and 4. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, place ﬂat racks

in positions 2 and 4.

Oven Vent

A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model) A. Oven vent (coil element model)

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven

and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the

oven 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.

On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven

is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than

(1.3 cm) over the element.

Baking and Roasting

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating

elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,

including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will

continue to count down.

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

100ºF (38ºC) 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.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed

to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly

hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the

oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven

which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is

recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in

the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management 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. On convection

range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled

on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best

results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is

in use.

Broiling

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is

opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating

elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,

including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will

continue to count down.

Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary.

Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of

the oven rack.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise

control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the

cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, ﬁsh,

and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4

or 5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”

section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to

maintain the proper temperature.

■ 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 “Accessories” section for

more information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the ﬁrst few times the oven

is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
