Do this step if you want to set a temper- ature other than 350°F.
  • Page 20 USING YOUR RANGE Roasting meats and poultry • For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better. • Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness.
  • Page 21: Saving Energy

    Saving energy • To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little as possible. • Use a timer to keep track of cooking time. • Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.
  • Page 22 USING YOUR RANGE 3. Enter the adjustment. How to determine the amount of adjustment needed: The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the desired cooking results. You can determine cooking results by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods.
  • Page 23 Broiling NOTE: Do not preheat when broiling, unless your recipe recommends it. 1. Position rack. You need to place the rack so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches away from the broil element. See “Broiling guidelines” later in this section. 2.

  • Page 38: Using The Self-Cleaning Cycle

    Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle (MODELS RS675PXG AND RS696PXG) Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
  • Page 39: Before Setting The Controls

    NOTES: • Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. • Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

  • Page 42 USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE 7. After Self-Cleaning cycle ends: NOTES: • The stop time will be the start time plus the cleaning time. • The fan may stay on after the Self- Cleaning cycle ends, until the oven cools down. After the oven cools to room tempera- ture, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge.
  • Page 43: How The Cycle Works

    How the cycle works The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.
