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
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.
Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning
Racks and Bakeware" section.
Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or
casserole and the top element in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may
operate during preheating or the bake cycle.
When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper
oven, do not set oven above 450°F (232°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 450°F (232°C), put stone
in after the preheat beep. When preheating with a baking/
pizza stone in the oven, allow at least 30 minutes for
preheating.
Use only 1 rack in the upper oven.
To Bake:
1. Press upper or lower oven BAKE.
"BAKE" will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending
on oven selection), and 350°F (175°C) will be displayed.
"Set temp or" will scroll in the selected oven text area,
followed by "Push START."
2. Press the number pads to enter the desired temperature.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing the number pads to enter the desired temperature
and then START. Changing the temperature once food is
placed in the oven could affect the performance.

"Preheating" will appear in the selected oven text area.
"Preheating" remains in the text area until the set temperature
is reached.
5. When the preheat cycle is complete, "Preheat done Insert
food" will scroll twice in the selected oven text area.
"Bake" will scroll in the selected oven text area until OFF for
the selected oven is pressed.
6. Place food in the oven.
7. Press upper oven or lower oven OFF when finished.
8. Remove food from the oven.
NOTE: If Cook Time is to be used for baked goods, increase the
cook time by 10-15 minutes for the upper oven and
15-20 minutes for the lower oven and allow oven to preheat.
Place food in oven when preheat is complete. When Cook Time
expires, the oven(s) will turn off.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (not provided). It is
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to order.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Select 550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select
450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such a poultry to avoid over browning.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack.
When broiling in the upper oven, close the upper door
completely.
When broiling in the lower oven, close the door to the broil stop
position (about 4" [10.0 cm]).
