Positioning Racks And Bakeware; Baking And Roasting - Maytag WFG525 Mode D'emploi

Keep Warm
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing
it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however,
breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven
during the Keep Warm function. For best results, cover food.
The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at
serving temperature.
To Use:
1. Press KEEP WARM.
2. Press Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad until desired
temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the minimum or
maximum temperature is reached.
3. Press the Start keypad.
4. Place food in the oven.
5. Press the Cancel keypad when finished (on some models).
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing
the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad to reach the desired
temperature and then pressing the Start keypad.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

Use the following illustration as a guide.
Rack Positions
Rack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty foods
Rack 4: two-rack baking and broiling
Rack 3: Air fry basket, most baked goods on a cookie sheet,
muffin pan, or jelly roll pan; layer cakes; broiling chicken pieces
Rack 2: Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, frozen
convenience foods, and two-rack baking
Rack 1: Roasting large and small cuts of meat and poultry
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make
sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Multiple Rack Cooking
Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5.
Air Fry Basket
When using the Air Fry feature, position the air fry basket on top of
a large baking sheet. Place basket and sheet in the middle of the
oven to increase air flow and circulation. Avoid using more than
one basket to avoid uneven cooking.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will
take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with
all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven
cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The
preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual
oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the
heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This
ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will
begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the
preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before
the tone sounds.
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 this 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.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If
the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will
shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any
active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count
down.
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 the
"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.
