BAKEWARE
Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so 
allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use 
the following chart as a guide.
Bakeware
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. 
Meat Thermometer
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 
½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, 
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
Oven Vent
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.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven 
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than 
½" (1.3 cm) over the element.
Baking and Roasting
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is 
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to 
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.
2. Set the temperature (optional).
Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a 
temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5°F (3ºC) amounts. 
The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and 500°F 
(260ºC).
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no 
preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.
The preheat conditioning time will not change if the 
temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.
If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting 
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by 
pressing BAKE.
