Oven Vents A B C D E F G Single and Double Oven A. Control panel B. Oven vent C. Single oven or upper double oven G. Bottom vent Double Oven D. Upper oven E. Oven vent F. Lower oven G. Bottom vent The oven vents should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and allows the venting of heated air. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results. Preheating and Oven Temperature Preheating When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven begins preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 18 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds. NOTE: If the cook timer is set and the oven door is opened during preheating, the timer will automatically start. Oven Temperature While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature. They may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. Baking and Roasting IMPORTANT: The convection fan and convection element may operate during the Bake function to enhance performance and heat distribution. The oven will take approximately 12 to 18 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds. During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed. Broiling Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. NOTE: No preheating is required for the Broiling function. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the element will come back on approximately 30 seconds later. ■■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. ■■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. ■■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling. ■■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. ■■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult. 13
