OVEN USE
17
SETTING THE OVEN
Decide if you are going to use BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE. These cooking modes are for baking,
roasting or warming using one, two or three racks. If you are going to use regular Bake, simply turn the
control knob to the temperature used in the recipe. To use Convection Bake, push the Convection
Switch (located on the control panel) and turn the control knob to the temperature desired. Models
RGS-484GG, RGS-485GD, RGS-486GL and RGS-486GD have two ovens. The oven on the left side can be
used for regular bake only; simply turn the control knob to the temperature desired.
PREHEATING
Preheating takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the temperature set. Preheating is usually
necessary for foods baked at high temperature for a short period of time, i.e. drop cookies. The oven
heating light will turn off when the oven has reached temperature.
CONDENSATION
During any cooking process there is a certain amount of moisture that evaporates from the food. The
amount of moisture that condenses on the oven depends on the moisture content of the food. The
moisture will condense on any surface that is cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control
panel or the top of the door.
OVEN RACKS
Models RGS-484GG, RGS-485GD, RGS-486GL and RGS-486GD have two ovens. The oven on the right
side has (2) standard and (1) broil locator rack and 4 rack positions. The left side oven has 2 oven racks
and 4 rack positions.
CAUTION:
Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven
bottom. The trapped heat can damage the porcelain and the heated air can-
not adequately reach the food being baked.
REGULAR BAKING
Bake is baking with hot air; there is no fan. The air movement comes from natural convection. As the
air heats, it moves to the top of the oven. This oven mode is the same as you have been using for
baking on one or two racks.

To get the best results
Follow the recipe amounts and ingredients, including the size and shape of the baking utensil
recommended in the recipe.
Do not open the open door “just to peek”, use the interior oven light and look through the window.
Do not use the oven for storage, especially when baking in the oven. Extra utensils, not being used
for baking, can affect the food product, the baking time, the browning and end result.
If you are using glass utensils, lower the temperature 25ºF.
Use a minute timer, set for the minimum time suggested in the recipe.
