To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2 in. 
(5 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, always rely on a meat 
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The 
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat 
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

■

Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion 
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the 
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

■

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature 
drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■

Check all meat in two or three places.

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air 
circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set 
plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the 
oven vent.

Before baking and roasting, position the 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.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired 
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING 
lights will turn on and the set temperature will appear in the 
display for 5 seconds.

On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the 
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature 
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn 
off once the oven is preheated.

Place food in oven.

The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep 
the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator 
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.

Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.

On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven 
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator 
light will turn off.
