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
ACCUBAKE
®
Temperature Management System
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE
®
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. 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
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. 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 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.
Preheat the oven for 2 minutes 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 Cooking
During convection cooking, the bake burner cycles 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 cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
Convection cooking has 6 preset functions that can be selected by
repeatedly pressing the CONVECT keypad.
Convect Cook Functions
Rapid Preheat
Use Rapid Preheat to decrease preheating time when using Bake
or Convect Bake. Use for all foods when baking on 1 rack.
For best results, use rack position 3 when using Rapid Preheat
option.
For best baking and browning results, Rapid Preheat is not
recommended when baking on multiple racks.
To Use:
1. Select BAKE or CONVECT BAKE, and desired temperature.
2. Press START.
3. Press RAPID PREHEAT. Display will show “RAPID.”
When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and
the selected temperature will appear on the display.
