Multiple Rack Cooking Two-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. Two-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. Three-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5. Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks Baking Layer Cakes For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a Max Capacity Rack in rack position 6 or a flat rack in rack position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.7 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes. Baking Cookies For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convect Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 2, and a Max Capacity Rack in rack position 6 or a flat rack in rack position 5. If you do not have Convection Bake, use the standard Bake function. Oven Vent A A. Oven vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. 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. Baking and Roasting Temperature Management System The temperature management system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on; the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. Preheating When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. The time to preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) will be approximately 10-15 minutes depending upon the model. Frozen Bake™ Technology Frozen Bake™ Technology can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the food. There are six preprogrammed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets, Fries, Pie, and Meals. Frozen Bake™ Technology has been designed to work specifically with these foods and should only be used for these foods. When using Frozen Bake™ Technology, it is important that you follow all the manufacturer's instructions including venting, stirring, or placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking frozen meals, cook items that provide instructions for cooking in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the middle of the oven and bake one package at a time. Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended time from the package. A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the cook time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add the cook time or end the cycle. Broiling When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. ■■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Convection Baking and Roasting (on some models) In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a temperature 25°F (15°C) lower than in a standard thermal oven and cooking time can be shortened by up to 30%. During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature while the fan circulates the hot air. If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed. 13
