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. ■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh and breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle. ■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer. ■ Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places. Oven Vent A A. Oven vent The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering the 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. TRADITIONAL COOKING Baking and Roasting The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating casseroles. During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature. A 5. Press the ENTER button. The cooking time will be accepted, "PrE" will appear in the display, and the oven will begin to preheat. If the Oven Timer was set, it will not begin counting down until preheating is complete. The display will alternate between "PrE" and actual temperature as the oven preheats. 6. When the set oven temperature is reached a tone will sound and the selected time will appear on the display. The oven timer will begin to count down from the set time and the display will alternate the set temperature and the remaining time. B A. Broil element (example only) B. Bake element (example only) If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil and bake elements will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. If a baking time was not selected, the display will show only the oven temperature. 7. When the cooking time ends, "0:00" will appear on the display and 4 tones will sound. The oven will remain on. Four reminder tones will sound every minute and the time will count up in 1-minute increments. The display will alternate between "0:00" and the count-up time until you reset or turn off the oven. 8. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when finished cooking. To Bake or Roast: When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. 1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to BAKE. The display will read 350°F (175°C). 2. Turn the SET knob to desired temperature. See the "Changing Oven Timer or Temperature" section. The bake range can be set between 175°F and 500°F (80°C and 260°C). 3. Press the ENTER button. "0:00" will appear in the display, and the Oven Timer indicator light will flash. NOTE: If you wish to bypass setting a cook time, skip to Step 5. 4. Turn the SET knob to the desired cook time. The time will change in 1-minute increments. Broiling Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. A A. Broil element (example only) Changing the broil setting allows more precise control when cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. See the following Broil Settings chart. 14
