Oven Vent

A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This
feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"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.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected
temperature will appear on the display.

Broiling
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, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings.
Use rack 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section for more information.
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.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
