To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack. Do not clean the SatinGlide™ roll-out extension rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack's lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the "General Cleaning" section for more information. Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results.

Stoneware/Baking stone ■ Crisp crusts ■ Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass or ceramic ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. Meat Thermometer Not all models have a temperature probe. 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. 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 A B A. Broil elements B. Bake element 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. Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may operate during the Bake mode. To Bake or Roast: Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe. Depending on the model, the convection fan and element may operate during the Bake mode. 1. Touch BAKE. Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C).
