Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become hot
enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut
the slits, you are essentially frying, not
broiling.
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
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.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 10–15 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1
″ to 1
1 ⁄
2
″ of air space around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.
Type of Food Rack Position
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D
Angel food cake A
Bundt or pound cakes B or C
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D

Before you begin…
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
On some models, the bake heating
element is under the oven floor. Do not
place foods on the oven bottom for
cooking.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION:
When you are using a
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to
use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in
the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 6 rack positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: You will hear the convection fan while
the oven is preheating. The fan will stop
after the oven is preheated and the display
shows your set temperature. This is normal.
Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
cooking is complete.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
