Oven Door Vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the door vent during certain
oven modes. Some condensation may occur; however, this will
not affect cooking performance.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
NOTES:
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front

a guide.

Convection Cooking
BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the
following chart as a guide.
Bake
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating
casseroles.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the bake
element will turn off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It will come back
on once the door is closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1. Press BAKE once for 325°F (163°C), or press the number
pads to enter a temperature. Each subsequent press of BAKE
will increase the temperature to 350°F (177°C), 375°F (186°C),
400°F (204°C), and 425°F (218°C).
2. Press START.
Style 1: “Lo°” and “Preheating” will appear on the display if
the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a
temperature of 170°F (77°C) has been reached, “Preheating”
and the temperature will be shown on the display until
reaching the set point.
When the set temperature is reached, 1 tone will sound, if on.
Styles 2 and 3: “Lo°” will appear on the display if the actual
oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a temperature
of 170°F (77°C) has been reached, the temperature will be
shown on the display until reaching the set point.
When the set temperature is reached, 1 tone will sound, if on.
