Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
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
¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.
■
Check all meat in two or three places.
Oven Vent
1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the
oven vent.
OVEN USE
Baking and Roasting
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.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.
2. Set the temperature (optional).
Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5° (3ºC) amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and 500°F
(260ºC).
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no
preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.
The preheat conditioning time will not change if the
temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.
If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by
pressing BAKE.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven control automatically sets preheating times based
on the oven temperature selected.
The temperature can be changed after this step. START/
ENTER does not need to be pressed again.
After the oven is preheated and the countdown time is
finished, a 1-second tone will sound, the ON indicator light
will go off and the set temperature will appear on the display.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
