BAKEWARE

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
NUMBER POSITION ON RACK
OF PAN(S)
1 Center of rack.
2 Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another. See
"Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks" in the "Oven
Use" section.
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

A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow
manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. On
models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to
determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired
degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance,
should be used to determine doneness.

Oven Vents

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.
Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning Racks
and Bakeware" section.
If only one oven is to be used, that oven will preheat more
quickly.
Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or casserole
and the top burner in the upper oven. Loaf, angel food or bundt
pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper
oven, do not set oven above 400°F (205°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 400°F (205°C) in the upper
oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.
On some models the convection fan may operate during
preheating or during the bake cycle.
To Bake:
1. Press the BAKE keypad for desired oven.
"BAKE" will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending on
oven selection), and 350°F (175°C) will be displayed.
After 3 seconds, "Set temp or" will scroll in the selected oven
text area, followed by "Push START."
2. Press the Temp/Time "+" or "-" pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing the Temp/Time "+" or "-" pads until the desired
temperature is displayed and then START. Changing the
temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect the
performance.
3. (Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK TIME.
Press the Temp/Time "+" or "-" pads to adjust the cook time by
1-minute increments until the desired time is displayed.
"Push START" will scroll in the selected oven text area.
