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 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.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center
of the oven rack.
Changing the temperature when custom 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 rack 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section for more information.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
■
to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Convection 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.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements
or 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.
NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes
into any convection cycle.
Cook Time
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
To Set a Timed Cook:
1. Press BAKE. The Bake indicator light will light up.
2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter
a temperature other than the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The Cook Time oven indicator light will
light up.
4. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter
the length of time to cook.
5. Press START. The display will count down the time. When the
time ends, the oven will shut off automatically.
6. Press CANCEL to clear the display.
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook:
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of
day. See "Clock" keypad feature in the "Feature Guide" section.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter
a temperature other than the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will
light up.
4. Press Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter the
length of time to cook.
5. Press DELAY. The delay oven indicator light will light up.
6. Press Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter the
time of day to start.
7. Press START.
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn
on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed anytime
after pressing START by repeating steps 1 through 7. When the set
cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically.
8. Press CANCEL to clear the display.
