On models without a temperature
probe, use a meat
thermometer
to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal
temperature,
not appearance, should be used to determine
doneness. A meat thermometer
is not supplied with this
appliance. Follow manufacturer's
directions for using a meat
thermometer.

A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent
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.
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating foods.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
To Bake:
Before baking, position racks according to the "Positioning
Racks and Bakeware" section.
For baking, allow the range to preheat before placing food in the
oven.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Select the oven temperature using the Quickset pads.
OR
Enter the desired temperature using the number pads. The
temperature can be set from 170°F (80°C) to 550°F (288°C) in
5°F (1° in Celsius) increments.
3. Press ENTER to set.
After 3 seconds, the oven will begin to preheat. "BAKE" and
"PREHEAT" will appear in the display along with "100 °''
("38 °" in Celsius) or the actual oven temperature, whichever is
higher.
The temperature
in the display will increase in 1o increments
until the oven reaches the preset temperature.
Allow about
15 minutes for the oven to preheat.
When the oven is preheated, the oven will beep and
"PREHEAT" will disappear from the display.
To change the oven temperature
during cooking, press BAKE
and select a displayed temperature
or use the number pads
to enter the desired temperature.
4. Press CANCEL when finished cooking. Remove food from
the oven.
