Oven Vent A B C D A. Upper microwave oven B. Oven vent C. Lower oven D. Warm air The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the lower oven. Blocking or covering lower oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Baking and Roasting WARNING Burn Hazard Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. A 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. B A. Broil elements B. Bake element If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake, both broils, and convection fan) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened.
