Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide. BAKEWARE/ RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS Light colored ■ aluminum ■ Light golden crusts ■ Even browning Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. ■ Use suggested baking time. ■ For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe. ■ Place rack in center of oven. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans ■ Place in the bottom third of oven. ■ May need to increase baking time. ■ Little or no bottom browning Stainless steel ■ Light, golden crusts ■ Uneven browning ■ May need to increase baking time. 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. 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 oven 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 IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place food or cookware on the oven door or oven bottom. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. To Bake or Roast: 1. Press BAKE. Press TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C). 2. Press START or START/ENTER. The temperature can be changed at any time after this step by pressing the TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR "up" or "down" arrow pads. Start does not need to be pressed again. If baking/roasting while the Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE. 3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or CANCEL/OFF when finished. Preheating After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat cycle. The bake indicator light will light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically selects the preheat cycle time based on the oven temperature selected. The cycle time will not change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. Preheat is complete and the oven is ready to use when a 1-second tone sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature is displayed. Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ. Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs. Broiling BROILER The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler drawer and oven door closed. ■ To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open. ■ Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler drawer during broiling. ■ Do not use broiler drawer for storage. ■ Use only the 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 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. ■ 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. 10
