Maytag MGT8885XS Manuale Proprietario

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.

A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow 
manufacturer's directions for using a meat thermometer. 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. 

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 burner in the upper oven. Loaf, angel 
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.

■

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.

■

On some models the convection fan may operate during 
preheating or during the bake cycle.

1. Press the BAKE keypad for desired oven.

“BAKE” will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending 
on oven selection), and 350°F (175°C) will be displayed.

After 3 seconds, “Set temp or” will scroll in the selected oven 
text area, followed by “Push START.”

2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired 

temperature is displayed.

NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by 
pressing the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired 
temperature is displayed and then START. Changing the 
temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect the 
performance.

3. (Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK 

TIME. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads to adjust the cook 
time by 1-minute increments until the desired time is 
displayed.

“Push START” will scroll in the selected oven text area.
