Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, use a meat
thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat
thermometer.
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.
Bake
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating foods.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
To Bake:
Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning
Racks and Bakeware” section.
For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the
oven.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Select the oven temperature using the Quickset pads.
OR
Enter the desired temperature using the number pads. The
temperature can be set from 170°F (80°C) to 550°F (288°C) in
5°F (1° in Celsius) increments.
3. Press ENTER to set.
After 3 seconds, the oven will begin to preheat. “BAKE” and
“PREHEAT” will appear in the display along with “100°”
(“38°” in Celsius) or the actual oven temperature, whichever is
higher.
The temperature in the display will increase in 1° increments
until the oven reaches the preset temperature. Allow about
15 minutes for the oven to preheat.
When the oven is preheated, the oven will beep and
“PREHEAT” will disappear from the display.
To change the oven temperature during cooking, press BAKE
and select a displayed temperature or use the number pads
to enter the desired temperature.
4. Press CANCEL when finished cooking. Remove food from
the oven.
Broil
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when broiling allows more precise control when
cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and
poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a Premium Broil Pan and
Roasting Rack, a set may be ordered. See “Assistance or
Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.
■ 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.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. 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.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Preheat broil for about 5 minutes. Position food on grid in the
broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the
door to the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
