BAKEWARE
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.
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.
Oven Vent(s)
Single and Double Oven Models
Double Oven Models Only
The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they 
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. 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(s).
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
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.
