Baking
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory setting
and differences in timing between
an old and a new oven of 5 to 10
minutes are not unusual and you
may be inclined to think that the new
oven is not performing correctly.
However, your new oven has been
set correctly at the factory and is
more apt to be accurate than the
oven it replaced.
How to Bake
Step 1: Place food in oven, being
certain to leave about 1 inch of
space between pans and walls of
oven for good circulation of heat.
Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to
temperature on recipe or on Baking
Guide.
Step 3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary. Switch off heat
and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
The automatic oven timer controls
are designed to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times
that you set. Examples of Immediate
Start (oven turns on now and you
set it to turn off automatically) or
Delayed Start and Stop (setting the
oven to turn on automatically at a
later time and turn off at a preset
stop time) will be described.
How to Set Immediate
Start
Before beginning make
sure the range clock shows the
correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting
oven to start baking now and turning
off at a later time automatically.
Remember, foods continue cooking
after controls are off.
Step 1: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP dial and turn pointer
to time you want oven to turn off;
for example
The DELAYED
START dial should beat the same
position as the time of day on
clock.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to oven temperature, for
example 250°F. The oven will start
immediately and stop at the time
you have set.
How to Set Delayed Start
and Stop
Delayed Start and Stop is setting
the oven timer to turn the oven on
and off automatically at a later time
than the present time of day.
Step 1: To set start time, push in
knob on DELAYED START dial
(some models may say START) and
turn pointer to time you want oven
to turn on, for example
Step 2: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP dial and turn pointer
to time you want oven to turn off,
for example
This means your
recipe called for two and one-half
hours of baking time.
NOTE: Time on STOP dial must
be later than time shown on range
clock and DELAYED START dial.
Step 3: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to 250°F. or recommended
temperature.
Place food in oven, close the door
and automatically the oven will be
turned on and off at the times you
have set. Turn OVEN SET to OFF
and remove food from oven.
