MEAT THERMOMETER
Use 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.
Insert the meat thermometer probe (if provided) into the socket on the left-hand side of
the oven liner.
PREHEATING
When beginning a Bake, Convection Bake or Convection 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 you open the oven door to place the food on the rack. This
ensures that cooking will begin at the proper temperature. Do not open the door while the
oven is preheating. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, a tone will sound.
You can then open the door and place food in the oven.
OVEN MODES
BAKE
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to
heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack
position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and
finish of the baking utensil.
The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
General Guidelines
•
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1" - 1½" (2.5 - 4 cm) space
between bakeware and oven walls.
•
Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
•
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
•
Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass, glass ceramic,
pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
•
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from recommended
temperature.
