BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
NUMBEROF
POSITION ON RACK
PAN(S)
1
Center of rack.
2
Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4
Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over
another.
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
•
On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
•
Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
•
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer's
recommendations
and use the bakeware size
recommended
in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

On models without a temperature
probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer
to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature,
not appearance,
is what counts. A meat
thermometer
is not supplied with this appliance.
•
Insert the thermometer
into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer
should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
•
After reading the thermometer
once, push it into the meat
1/2"(1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature
drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
•
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
