Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, 
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" 
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that 
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven. 
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, 
and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a 
guide.
Rack Positions
Rack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty foods.
Rack 4: Use for 2-rack baking and broiling.
Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, muffin pan or jelly 
roll pan; and layer cakes. Broiling chicken pieces.
Rack 2: Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, frozen 
convenience foods, and 2-rack baking.
Rack 1: Roasting large and small cuts of meat and poultry.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 4 
for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Oven Vent
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.
Baking and Roasting
ACCUBAKE
®
 Temperature Management System
The ACCUBAKE
®
 system electronically regulates the oven heat 
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature 
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements 
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when 
cycling on; the broil element will not. This feature is automatically 
activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not 
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting 
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as 
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat 
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected 
temperature will appear on the display.
Broiling
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure 
proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes before 
putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. 
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of 
the oven rack. 
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is 
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise 
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the 
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish 
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or 
5 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” 
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain 
the proper temperature.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to 
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. 
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.
