BAKEWARE
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.
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
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering 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.
The element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the 
cookware does not extend more than 
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) over the 
element.
Baking and Roasting
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 recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired 
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING 
lights will turn on, and the set temperature will appear in the 
display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the 
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature 
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn 
off once the oven is preheated.
2. Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep 
the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator 
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven 
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator 
light will turn off.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the 
temperature when broiling allows more precise control. The lower 
the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and 
unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook 
better at lower broiling temperatures.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are 
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If 
you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. 
See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part 
Number 4396923.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The 
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier 
cleaning.
