How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
The word ON and 100° will be displayed.
As the oven heats up, the display will show
the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone
will sound.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle,
touch the BAKE pad and then the number pads to
get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary
for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1

the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you
must mold the foil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil
on a lower shelf several inches below the
food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
