For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare
interior in the lower oven, use a flat rack in rack position 5. Side 1

cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree
of smoke when broiling.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 4 for
convection baking.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use rack positions
2 and 4 with the Convection Bake function. Place the cakes on the
racks as shown.
Baking Cookies on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use rack
positions 2 and 4 with the Bake function.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

Oven Vents

A. Upper oven vent
B. Lower oven vent
The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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 vents.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake 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.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid
Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing
food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the
oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack
baking.
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.
AccuBake Temperature Management System
®
The AccuBake 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.
