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.
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.
The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If
the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will
shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any
active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count
down.
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.
No Preheat Frozen
No Preheat Frozen can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food
without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the
food. There are 2 preprogrammed food options to choose from:
Pizza and Lasagna. No Preheat Frozen should only be used for
these foods. Cook only 1 package at a time when using No
Preheat Frozen. 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
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
When broiling, preheat the oven for two 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 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 racks 4 or
5 for broiling. 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.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
