Setting the Lower Oven

About the lower oven
The lower oven is ideal for cooking foods such
as pizza, casseroles, baked potatoes and frozen
convenience foods. Use the keep warm feature to
keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. The
lower oven can only be used with some cooking
modes; Bake, Slow Cook and Keep Warm (read
their sections for precise instructions).
The following temperature settings apply to the
bake feature for the lower oven:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/176°C
• Min. bake setting: 170°F / 76°C
• Max. bake setting: 450°F / 232°C
Keep children away from the lower oven when
hot. Failure to do so can result in burns.
Always use oven mitts when removing food
from the lower oven. The lower oven rack,
compartment, cookware/plates may be hot.

For best results
• The lower oven rack must
always be in place
when cooking or
warming. Be sure
that the rack is
placed with the
down turned
sides into the
drawer. This
will provide for
some air space
between the
drawer and the
food.
• When placing food in
the lower oven always use a
baking sheet or pan with 4 raised
sides to prevent food from sliding off.
• DO NOT LINE THE OVEN DRAWER WITH
FOIL OR COVER THE OVEN RACK WITH
FOIL. This may result in damage to your oven.
• The maximum height of foods and utensils
that may be used in the lower oven is 4". The
maximum width is 15". Pay close attention to
foods that have potential to rise beyond the
recommended 4" maximum height.
• Use pans in the lower oven large enough to
contain food and any juices created from the
cooking process.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the drawer or surrounding
areas and be very diffi cult to clean. Use a
lid or aluminum foil instead. Use only utensils
and cookware in the oven drawer that are
recommended for oven use in the upper oven.
• When using the lower oven, limit the number of
times the drawer is opened; this will minimize
heat loss. Repeated opening of the drawer
during the cooking process may increase
cooking times and produce uneven cooking
results. The cooking times for the lower oven
may vary slightly from the upper oven.
Should an oven fi re occur, close the drawer and
turn the lower oven OFF. If the fi re continues, use
a fi re extinguisher. DO NOT put water or fl our on
the fi re. Flour may be explosive.
