Probe Care and Use
• To avoid damaging your probe, do not pull on the
cable when trying to remove it from a dish.
• Do not use tongs or other instruments to pry on the
probe when removing it or to 'hammer' the probe into
a food dish.
• Do not wash probe in the dishwasher; use warm,
soapy water instead to clean it.
• To prevent possible burns, wait until the oven has
cooled before trying to remove the probe from the
outlet.
• Do not store probe inside the oven.

Tips for Bake

Preheating the Oven
Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated
160°F (71°C)
oven and require that the oven already be at a certain
temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for
preheating recommendations
145°F (63°C)
the temperature setting and the number of racks in the
160°F (71°C)
oven (refer also to "To Set the Ovens" on page 27).
170°F (77°C)
155°F (68°C)

165°F (74°C) Getting the Best Results
• Minimize opening the door:
160°F (71°C)
•
165°F (74°C)
•
• Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
• Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan
without food, affects the browning and cooking.
• The type of pan used affects the browning:
•
•
Bakeware Type
• Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish),
heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other
utensils are suitable for the oven.
• Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side
only. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side
may affect the baking time.
• The 36" and 48" (914mm and 1219mm) ovens will hold
a full-sized commercial baking sheet (18" x 26")
(457mm x 660mm).

Preheating time depends on
Figure 28: Preheat Indication
Use the built-in timer.
Use the interior oven light.
For tender, golden brown crusts, use light
non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/
anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass
bakeware. These may require lowering the bake
temperature 25°F (14°C).
