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.
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.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the + or – pads (on some
models) or the number pads (on some
models) until the desired temperature
is displayed.
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 + or – pads (on
some models) or the number pads (on some models)
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.

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.
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.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
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 cooking
a large turkey. The shelf is not
designed to slide out at this position.
