How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
The word ON and 100° will be displayed.
As the oven heats up, the display will show
the changing temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set, a tone
will sound.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE
cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the
number pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.
Type of Food Rack Position

Roasting A or B
The oven has a special low rack (R)
position just above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Using the upper oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to use two racks,
stagger the pans so one is not directly above
the other, and leave approximately 1
1 ⁄
2
″
between pans, from the front, back and sides
of the wall.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Do not use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
when using the CircuWave fan. The foil
will be sucked toward the convection fan.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower rack several
inches below the food.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature
change of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass.
These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
