Oven Vent
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven
and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the
oven 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.
Baking and Roasting
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot
or cool at any point in time due to cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management 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 or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in
use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting,
it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end
before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
The oven should be preheated for most baked products (cakes,
pies, bread, etc.). Preheat oven by rotating the temperature control
dial to the temperature needed for the product being cooked.
Allow 10 to 12 minutes before putting food in the oven.

Broiling
NOTE: After broiling, the dial must be turned to "OFF" before
Baking.
Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center
of the oven rack.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
■
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
