Rack positions and pan placement of layer cakes for 30" (76.2 cm) and 27" (68.6 cm) Non-Convection ovens For best results when baking layer cakes on 2 racks in the lower oven, use racks 3 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. 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. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. Oven Vent(s) 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. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS Light colored ■ aluminum ■ Light golden crusts ■ Even browning Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. 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.

Bottom vent 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. Baking Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. To Bake: 1. Press BAKE for the desired oven. "BAKE" will scroll in the text area, and 350°F (177°C) will be displayed. "Set temp or Press START" will scroll in the text area. 2. Use the number keypad to enter the desired temperature. The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C). NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by using the number keypad to enter the desired temperature and then pressing START. Changing the temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect the performance. 3. (Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK TIME. Use the number keypad to enter the desired cook time. "Press START" will scroll in the text area. NOTE: The Set Cooking Time can be changed at any time during the cooking cycle by pressing COOK TIME.
