Using the lower oven.

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.
How to Set the Lower Oven for Baking or Roasting
The oven has a special low rack
(Rl 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.
Your oven is not designed for open-door
cooking.
~J\ Touch the BAKE pod.
^ Touch the number pods to set the desired
temperature.
S ra Touch the START pad.
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.
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.
Touch the CLEAR/OEE pad when cooking
is complete.
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 unit
is turned off.
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 A and C. 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.
Preheating and Pan Placement
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
desired position before you turn on the oven.
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. 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 shelves, stager the pans
so one is not directly above another leaving
approximately 1-1/2" between pans, from the
front, back and sides of the walls.
NOTE: Do not bake or store anything in either
oven during a self clean cycle
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.
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.
