Meat Thermometer
On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
½" (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
■ Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
Oven Vent
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or
covering vents 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.
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 recommended in the recipe.
If the lower oven door is opened during baking and roasting, the
broil element will turn off immediately and the bake element will
turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between
170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START/ENTER.
“Lo°” will appear on the lower oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
lower oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5°
increments.
When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will
sound.
3. Press lower oven OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
Preheating
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. “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.
