Using the oven. To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on. Before you begin... The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops. To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the end of the rack (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in. The oven has 4 rack positions. How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting Press the BAKE pad. Type of Food Rack Position Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the oven temperature. To change the oven temperature during the Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature. Press the START pad. When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature will be in the display. The display starts changing once the temperature reaches 100°F. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished. Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) Angel food cake, bundt or pound cakes Biscuits, muffins, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies Casseroles B or C A B or C B or C NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off. Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. 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, and leave approximately 11ø2" between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall. Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food .Do not use more foil than necessary and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation. 12
