Baking And Roasting - Whirlpool W11508802B Control Manual

Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after
Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15
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.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid
Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before
placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is
complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for single-rack
baking.
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.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
® ®
AccuBake Temperature Management System
The AccuBake ® Temperature Management System electronically
regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to
maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results.
The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in
intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while
preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during
bake to provide the best results. 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 cycle to end before
putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Frozen Bake Technology
™ ™
Frozen Bake Technology can be used to cook prepackaged
™
frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without
overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options
to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie. Frozen
Bake Technology should only be used for these foods. Cook
™
only 1 package at a time when using Frozen Bake
Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended
time from the packaging.
A beep will alert you to check the food's doneness before the cook
time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The
display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end the cycle.
Broiling
Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the
center of the oven rack.
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. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish,
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. 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 Quick Start Guide for contact
information.
Lower Oven Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture, and yielding
crustier breads.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section before starting convection cooking.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature or for a shorter length of time.
