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
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven 
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.
Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: Do not light the oven burner during a power failure. 
Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the 
oven bottom. When using the oven for the first time, it is 
necessary to turn any one of the surface burners on first to 
release air from the gas lines.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Touch BAKE.
Touch TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a temperature 
other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake 
range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Touch START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step by 
touching the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads. START/ENTER 
does not need to be touched again. If baking/roasting while the 
Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting temperature 
can be displayed for 5 seconds by touching BAKE.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START/ENTER is touched, the oven will enter a timed 
preheat conditioning cycle. The Temp, Bake, and On indicator 
lights will light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically 
selects the conditioning cycle time based on the oven 
temperature selected. The conditioning cycle time will not 
change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown 
ends. The preheat conditioning cycle is complete and the oven is 
ready to use when a 1-second tone sounds, the cycle countdown 
ends, and the set temperature is displayed.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as 
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for 
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven 
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning 
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking 
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, 
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling and Custom Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and 
grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and 
oven doors closed.
Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is 
open.
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler 
door during broiling.
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. 
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and 
smoke.
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 prevent 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.
