To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn on the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the
BAKE
pad.
Touch the number pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
Touch the
START
pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display
will show
PrE
while preheating. When the oven
reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep several times and the display
will show the oven temperature.
NOTE:
You will hear the convection
fan (on some models) while the oven is
preheating. The fan will stop after the oven
is preheated and the display shows your
set temperature. This is normal.
To change the oven temperature during
the BAKE cycle, touch the
BAKE
pad and then
the number pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at the minimum
time on the recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
Touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when baking is
finished, and then remove the food from
the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
To avoid possible burns, place the racks
in the desired position before you turn on
the oven.
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastries and breads.
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack C and two layers on
rack E. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not
directly above the other.
Baking results will be better if food is centered in
the oven as much as possible. Angel food cake
is the exception and should be placed on the
bottom oven rack (position A). Follow package
directions on prepackaged and frozen foods for
pan placement. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need to
use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other. Leave approximately
1
1
⁄
2
″
between pans and from the front, back
and sides of oven wall.
Do not place foods directly on the oven
floor.
