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.

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.

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered, because it 
allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking 
or covering the vent 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.

The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top 
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat 
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal 
cooking results.

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 it is recommended in the recipe.

1. Press BAKE.

Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter 
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or 
“down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in 
5°F/5°C increments.

2. Press START.

A preheat time will count down, and “PrE” will appear on the 
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times 
based on the oven temperature you select.

When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set 
temperature will replace “PrE” on the display. 

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will 
sound.

3. Press OFF when finished cooking.

The temperature can be changed any time after pressing START.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as 
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for 
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven 
temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning 
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking 
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, 
baking soda and eggs.
