Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the
oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions
on how to adjust the thermostat.
How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the + or – pad to set the oven
temperature.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature will be in the
display. (The display starts changing once
the temperature reaches 100°F.)
To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set the new
temperature.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when the
baking is finished.
NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and
the fan may continue to run even after the oven
is turned off.
Oven Racks
Arrange the oven rack or racks in the desired
locations while the oven is cool.
The correct rack position depends on the kind
of food and the browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the
middle of the oven, on either rack position B or
C. See the chart for suggested rack positions.

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheat means bringing the oven up to the
specified temperature before putting the
food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at
WKHFRUUHFWWHPSHUDWXUH³VHOHFWLQJDKLJKHU
temperature does not shorten preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is
not necessary. For ovens without a preheat
indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
After the oven is preheated, place the food in
the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION:
Do not use any type
of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom.
These items can block airflow or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning, smoke or fire. Damage
from improper use of these items 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 allow air flow through the oven.
