Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,

do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow

2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure

that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■ Position racks before turning on the oven.

■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■ Make sure racks are level.

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

and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a

guide.

Rack Positions

Rack 5: 2-rack baking.

Rack 4: Use for broiling and toasting.

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

muffin pans; casseroles; frozen convenience foods.

Rack 2: Roasting small cuts of meat, pies, casseroles, bundt and

angel food cakes, yeast bread, quick breads, and 2-rack baking.

Rack 1: Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry.

Rack 6: Extra-large items.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks use racks 2 and 5

for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Oven Vent

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.

Baking and Roasting

The bake and broil 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

After START is pressed, the oven will display “PrE” until the

temperature is above 170ºF (75ºC). 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 Custom 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.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven 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.

Convection Baking and Roasting

During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil burners

cycle 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 baking or roasting,

the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven

door is closed.
