Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT:
 Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven 
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain 
finish.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks 
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a 
rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift 
out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
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.
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.
Oven Vent with Removable Deflector
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered, because the 
vent allows 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.
The oven vent has a removable porcelain enamel deflector to be 
used during a Self-Clean Cycle. The deflector is used to reduce 
the possibility of staining. To ensure proper oven ventilation 
during any other oven function, remove the deflector from the 
oven vent.
To Remove the Deflector:
1.
Wait until deflector is cool.
2.
Remove deflector. You may want to wear oven mitts
while doing so.
