A. Upper oven
B. Oven vent
C. Lower oven
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or
covering 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 vent.
ACCUBAKE
® Temperature
Management
System
(on some models)
The ACCUBAKE ®system electronically
regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to help maintain a precise
temperature
range 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 it is recommended
in the
recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
Press BAKE.
Press TEMP "plus" (+) or "minus" (-) keypads to set a
temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5 ° amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F
(77°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 LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature,
the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
•
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
•
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
•
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
•
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
•
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless it is
recommended
in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.
To Broil:
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START.
3. Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.
To Custom Broil:
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press TEMP "plus" (+) or "minus" (-) keypads to change the
temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The broil range can be set
between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 260°C).
3. Press START.
4. Press LOWER OFF/CANCEL when finished.
