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.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking or roasting. The latch is used
for self-cleaning only.
Using the upper oven.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door
cooking.
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.
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 convection baking and for good
results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
Baking results will be better if foods are
centered in the oven as much as possible.
Pans should not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
For best results when baking four cake layers
at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower
pans at the back of the rack and the upper
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that
one pan is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the walls.
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.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil can
melt and permanently damage the oven
bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product
warranty
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil . Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation
Type of Food Rack Position
Angel food cake A or C
Bundt or pound cakes A or C
Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C
cookies, cupcakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles B or C
Pies – On cookie sheet B or C
Roasting R or A
4-Layer cakes B & D
When baking on a single rack, use
the rack position from the chart for
your type of food. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are centered
in the oven as much as possible.
When baking four cake layers at a time,
use racks B and D. Place the lower pans
at the back of the rack and the upper
pans to the front of the rack shown
so that one pan is not directly above
another.
