Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. ■ Use suggested baking time. ■ For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe. ■ Place rack in center of oven. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans ■ Place in the bottom third of oven. ■ May need to increase baking time. ■ Little or no bottom browning Stainless steel ■ Light, golden crusts ■ Uneven browning ■ May need to increase baking time. Stoneware/Baking stone ■ Crisp crusts ■ Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass or ceramic ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. Oven Vent A B C A. Control panel B. Oven vent C. Oven door 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 results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. Baking Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. Preheating: Preheating is necessary for proper baking results. It is not necessary for roasting. Allow the oven to heat until the desired oven temperature is reached, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Selecting a temperature higher than desired will not preheat the oven any faster. Preheating at a higher temperature may have a negative effect on baking results. To Bake or Roast: To turn the oven on, both the Oven Temperature and Selector knobs must be set. The oven will not operate if the Selector knob is left in the OFF position. To turn the oven off, turn both knobs to the OFF position. To set the oven for baking or roasting: 1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the desired temperature and the Selector knob to BAKE. 2. Allow the oven to preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. The indicator light, located below the knob, will turn off when the oven reaches the preset temperature. 3. Place the food in the center of the oven. 4. When finished, turn the Oven Temperature knob and Selector knob to OFF. 5. Remove food from the oven. Double Wall Oven - Lower Oven The lower oven is equipped with only a bake element. For best results, use the upper oven for delicate cooking such as cakes, cookies, biscuits or pies. Use either oven for non-critical types of cooking such as meats or casseroles. Broiling is done in the upper oven. To set the lower oven for baking or roasting: 1. Turn the Lower Oven knob to the desired temperature setting. NOTE: The Selector knob is not used with the lower oven. 2. Allow the oven to preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. The indicator light, located below the knob, will turn off when the oven reaches the preset temperature. 3. Place the food in the center of the oven. 4. When finished, turn the Lower Oven knob to OFF. 5. Remove food from the oven. 6
