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

Oven Vent

1. Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. 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.

Baking and Roasting

®
ACCUBAKE DUO SYSTEM™ Temperature Management
®
The ACCUBAKE DUO SYSTEM™ electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain the most
uniform temperature control.
Two temperature sensors will independently control the bake and
broil elements for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow
red when cycling on, the broil element will not. This feature is
automatically activated when the oven is in use.
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 conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a temperature
other than 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts. The bake
range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C and
260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat
conditioning. "PrE" and the countdown time will appear on the
display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will
sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ due to the cycling of the elements.
