Multiple Rack Cooking 2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5. Baking Cookies For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 2, and a Max Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6. Oven Vent A A. Oven vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven 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 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. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the cycle. 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. Frozen Bake™ Technology Frozen Bake™ Technology can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie. Frozen Bake™ Technology should only be used for these foods. Cook only 1 package at a time when using Frozen Bake™ Technology. Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended time from the packaging. 12
