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.

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat 
thermometer to determine doneness of meat, poultry and fish. 
The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to 
determine doneness. 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, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

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.

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.

1. Turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature 

setting.

2. Preheat oven 8 to 12 minutes. 

3. Place food in oven. The bake element will turn on and off to 

maintain cooking temperature. 

4. Turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.

■

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 12500100.

■

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The 
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier 
cleaning.

■

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on 
the edges to avoid curling.

■

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing 
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very 
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing 
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated 
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. 
preheat the oven for 4 minutes before putting food in unless 
otherwise recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in 
the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
