2. Using 2 hands, lift up on the front edge of the rack and the
sliding shelf together. Slowly push rack and sliding shelf to the
back wall of the oven so the front edge of the sliding shelf sits
on the rack guides, located on the sides of the oven.
The front edge of the rack and the sliding shelf should be
higher than the back edge.

rack guide.
To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than
25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack.
Do not clean the roll-out extension rack in a dishwasher. It may
remove the rack's lubricant and affect its ability to slide.

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom
vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of
fresh air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the
cooling system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air
circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling results.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating
after START LOWER is pressed. The oven will take approximately
13 to 19 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven
racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature
will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when
your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when
you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle On and Off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before
putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food
on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven
rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. A lower broil setting causes cooking to
occur slower. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place
the food in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the "Positioning
Racks and Bakeware" section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle On and Off to
maintain the proper temperature.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
■
to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more
information.

Keep Warm

WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing
it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; however,
breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the oven
during the Keep Warm function. For best results, cover food.
The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving
temperature.
To Use:
1. Press KEEP WARM.
2. Press the number keypads to set the desired temperature.
If the temperature entered is not in the range of the
temperatures allowed, the minimum or maximum allowed
temperature will be displayed. Enter a temperature in the
allowable range.
