Roll-Out Rack
The roll-out rack allows easy access to position and remove food
in the oven. The roll-out rack should not be used in rack position 5.
Open Position
A. Sliding rails
B. Sliding shelf
Closed and Engaged Position
A. Slide rails
B. Sliding shelf
To Insert Roll-Out Rack
1. Angle rack assembly up, and then insert into the "V" cutout in
the rack guides of the oven cavity.
2. Keep rack assembly lifted up at an angle, and then push in to
bypass the lower "V" cutout.
3. Gently slide rack assembly into oven, bypassing the "V"
cutouts.
A. "V" cutout
B. Rack guides
To Remove Roll-Out Rack
1. Push the sliding shelf in completely so that it is in the closed
and engaged position.
2. Using 2 hands, gently pull the sliding shelf and the slide rails
at the same time to the "V" cutout. Angle the rack so that the
front is higher than the back, and then gently pull rack past "V"
cutout and then out of the oven.
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 rack in the dishwasher. It may remove the
rack's lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
See the "General Cleaning" section for more information.

Oven Vents
A. Upper oven vent
B. Lower oven vent
The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents
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 vents.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast 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.
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 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 performance.
Temperature Management System
The 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.
