Baking and Roasting
The CleanBake™ element is hidden under the floor of the oven,
protected from spills and drips
During baking or roasting, the CleanBake™ and broil elements
will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil
elements will turn off immediately and the CleanBake™ element
will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
2. Press BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (180°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F
and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).
3. Press START.
“Lo” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (75°C).
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (75°C), the
oven display will show the temperature increasing in
5° increments.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
4. Press CANCEL OFF, UPPER OVEN CANCEL/OFF or
LOWER OVEN CANCEL / OFF when finished cooking.
Maxi and Econo Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
During maxi broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat.
During econo broiling, only the inner broil element heats. The
element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will
turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent 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 prevent 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.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
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.
Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Close the door.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
