Specialty Pans Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok. Never place a support ring, such as a wok ring or trivet, on the cooking surface. Getting the Most Out of Your Oven General Tips Pan Placement Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. Rack Position Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top. Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions. The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack. Rack Position 6 (highest usable position) 5 4 3 2 1 (lowest position) Best For hamburgers, steaks toasting bread, broiling most meats, melting cheese thicker meats broiling poultry, most baked goods on a cookie sheet or baking pan using a single rack, includes frozen convenience foods, cakes, casseroles, frozen pizza small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes, pies, breads large roasts, turkey, angel food cake Aluminum Foil Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. Preheating the Oven • Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven. • Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, and Warm modes. • Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes. • Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items. • Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. • Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature. • Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating time. Preheat Reminders Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom. • Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy. • Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and some frozen foods. • Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts. • Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F. When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes. English 22

Getting the Most Out of Your Oven

General Tips

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of

the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at

least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking

four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two

racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Rack Position

The rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the

top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through 6 only.

DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven

rack.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part

of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing

these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

•

Place oven racks in desired position before heating the

oven.

•

Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection

Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection

Broil, and Warm modes.

•

Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and

Proof modes.

•

Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe

ingredients or food items.

•

Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat

time.

•

Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as

quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and

reduction of oven temperature.

•

Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating time.

Preheat Reminders

Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the

market using a concealed bake element. The lower

element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that

the preheat time is different than your previous oven that

had an exposed element on the bottom.

•

Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no

cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom

of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected

from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is

easy.

•

Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,

casseroles and some frozen foods.

•

Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply

to your house is less than 240 volts.

•

Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer

preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F

is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not

preheat for more than 5 minutes.

Rack positions
