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.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than
½" (1.3 cm) over the element.
Baking and Roasting
ACCUBAKE
®
Temperature Management System
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE
®
system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is automatically
activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the
recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP, TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down”
arrow pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in
5° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (75°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again on styles 2 and 3
of Electronic Oven Controls.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
Style 1 - Electronic Oven Control
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. “Lo” will appear on the display until the temperature
is above 170ºF (75ºC). Once 170ºF (75ºC) is reached, the display
temperature will increase in 2° increments as the actual
temperature of the oven increases. “OVEN IS PREHEATING” will
appear in the display in the lower text line. When the preheat
conditioning temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the
selected temperature will appear on the display.
Styles 2, 3 & 4 - Electronic Oven Controls
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. On some models, “PrE” will appear on the display.
On some models, the time countdown will appear on the display.
On some models, both “PrE” and the time countdown will appear
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the
display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
Choice Bake
®
Function
(on some models)
The CHOICE BAKE
®
function reduces top heat in the oven during
cooking. It is ideal when baking pies, breads and casseroles and
when roasting meat and poultry.
During traditional baking and roasting, the bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off at intervals. When CHOICE
BAKE
®
is selected, the broil element or burner cycles on less
frequently. This reduces top browning of foods and allows you
more customized control of your cooking results.
To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE
®
function.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a
temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 5° increments.
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F
(75°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step by pressing
the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads and then pressing
START.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To use the CHOICE BAKE
®
function during a regular Bake cycle
to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE
®
cycle, set
the desired temperature and press START.
