USING YOUR OVEN
OVEN
CHARACTERISTICS
FAN
Slide in and drop in models
are
equipped with a fan which automatically
turns on whenever the oven is set for
cooking or cleaning. The fan will auto-
matically turn off when the unit has
cooled.
OVEN RACKS
The two oven racks are designed with a
"lock-stop" position to keep racks from
accidentally coming completely out of
the oven.
To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull
rack out to the "lock-stop" position. Tilt
up and continue pulling until rack re-
leases.
To replace:
Place rack on rack sup-
ports, tilt up and push toward rear of
oven. Pull rack out to =lock-stop" posi-
tionto be sure rack iscorrectly replaced.
RACK POSITIONS:
RACK 1 (top of oven) used for broiling
thin non-fatty foods such as fish.
RACK 2 used for two-rack
baking or
broiling thicker cuts of meat.
RACK 3 used for most one-rack baking
and for roasting some meats.
RACK 4 used for one or two rack baking
and
masting
large
meats,
cooking
larger foods and for baking angel food
cake or pie shells.
RACK 5 used for masting turkey orbak-
ing angel food cake or pie shells.
HINTS
If cooking on two racks, stagger pans so
one is not directly over the other. Use
rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5, when
cooking on two racks.
Use racks 2 and 4 when baking layer
cakes. Use racks 2 and 5 when baking
cookies or biscuits on a cookie sheet.
NEVER place pans directly on the oven
bottom.
Do not cover entire rack with aluminum
foil or place foil directly under cookware.
To catch spillovers, cut a piece of foil a
little larger than the pan and place it on
the rack below the rack containing the
pan.
PREHEATING
It is not necessary to preheat oven for
masting. It is not necessary to preheat
for broiling unless darker browning is
desired or if cooking thin (3/4--inch)
steaks. Allow broil element to preheat 3
to 5 minutes.
Selecting temperature higher than de-
sired will NOT preheat the oven any
taster. Preheating at a higher tempera-
ture may have a negative effect on bak-
ing results.
To preheat: Set oven for baking and al-
low the oven to heat until display shows
the preset temperature.
Depending on
your model, either 75 or 100 will appear
in the display until the oven reaches
100°F. If the oven temperature is above
100 °, the display will show the actual
oven temperature. The display will then
show the oven temperature in 5° incre-
ments until the oven reaches the preset
temperature.
Once
the
preset
temperature
is
reached, and the oven temperature has
stabilized, a single beep will sound.
