To Replace SatinGlide Roll-Out Extension Rack:
™
1. Using 2 hands, grasp the front of the closed rack and the
sliding shelf. Place the closed rack and the sliding shelf on the
rack guide.
2. Using 2 hands, lift up on the front edge of the rack and the
sliding shelf together.
3. Slowly push the rack and the sliding shelf to the back of the
oven until the back edge of the rack pulls over the end of the
rack guide.
To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 25
lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack or 35 lbs (15.9 kg) on the roll-out rack for
powered attachments (on some models).
Do not clean the SatinGlide
™
dishwasher. It may remove the rack's lubricant and affect its ability
to slide.
See the "General Cleaning" section in the Owner's Manual for
more information.
Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size

Meat Thermometer

Not all models have a temperature probe. 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.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating
When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle or Convect Roast
cycle the oven begins preheating after Start is touched. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 17 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 until
the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature. 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.

Baking and Roasting

IMPORTANT: The convection fan and convection element may
operate during the Bake function to enhance performance and
heat distribution.
The oven will take approximately 12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F
(177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat
cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that
impact preheat times include room temperature, oven
temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be
removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat
time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set
temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened
to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper
temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
until the tone sounds.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking
or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will
turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is
closed, the element will come back on approximately 30 seconds
later.
� For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, it may be
ordered. See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.
� For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom
of the broiler 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.
