To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 
2" (5.0 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the 
following chart as a guide.

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow 
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size 
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat 
thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are 
cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal 
temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine 
doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this 
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat 
thermometer.

The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents 
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning 
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt 
or burn near the oven vents.

Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning 
Racks and Bakeware” section. 

■

If only one oven is to be used, that oven will preheat more 
quickly.

■

Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or 
casserole and the top element in the upper oven. Loaf, angel 
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.

■

Depending on the model, the convect fan and element may 
operate during the bake mode.

■

When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper 
oven, do not set oven above 400°F (205°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 400°F (205°C) in the 
upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.

■

The back part of the lower oven bake element will not glow 
red during baking. This is normal.

■

Use only 1 rack in the upper oven.

■

For ovens with an exposed bake element, rack position 2 
may be used for baking cookies.
