If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the
BAKE
pad.
Press the
+
or
–
pad (on some models)
or the number pads (on some models)
until the desired temperature is
displayed.
The oven will start automatically. 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,
press the BAKE pad and then the + or – or number
pads to get the new temperature.
Press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when baking
is finished and then remove the food
from the oven.

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
1
⁄
2
″ between pans, from
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.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
The oven has a special low shelf (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when roasting
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.
