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 vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent 
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 vent.

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

■

If the lower oven is not in use, the upper 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.

■

When baking frozen, self-rise pizza in the upper oven, place 
the pizza on a cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.

■

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.

The oven temperature can be set between 170°F and 550°F 
(75°C and 288°C).

3. Press BAKE again or wait 4 seconds.

“BAKE” will stop flashing and light in the display. PREHEAT 
will light in the display.

100°F (35°C) or the actual oven temperature if over 
100°F (35°C) will display. The temperature will rise in 
5° increments until the preset temperature is reached.

Allow 4 to 10 minutes for the upper oven to preheat and 
7 to 12 minutes for the lower oven to preheat.

When the set oven temperature is reached, one long beep will 
sound and “PREHEAT” will disappear from the display.

To recall the set temperature during preheat, press BAKE.

To change the oven temperature during preheat, press the 
Bake pad twice, then press the Presets pad or appropriate 
number pads until the desired temperature is displayed.
