BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow
manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. On
models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to
determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the
desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not
appearance, should be used to determine doneness.
Oven Vent(s)
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the
bottom vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the
inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air
from the cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause
poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling
results.
