Meat Thermometer

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
in. (2 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check pork and poultry in two or three places.

3. Lower oven
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent(s).

Baking and Roasting

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil
elements will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn
off in two minutes. They will come back on once the door is
closed.

To Bake or Roast:
Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
2. Press BAKE (optional).
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F
and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
3. Press START.
"Lo" will appear on the oven display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the
oven display will show the temperature increasing in 5°
increments.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will
sound.
4. Press CANCEL OFF, UPPER OVEN CANCEL / OFF or
LOWER OVEN CANCEL / OFF when finished cooking.

Broiling - Maxi and Econo

Oven Cavity Symbol
1. Broil heat
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
During maxi broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat.
During econo broiling, only the inner broil element heats. The
element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will
turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. It is designed to
drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke. Do not use
the broiler pan without the grid.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
