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.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous

illustration and the following table.

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare

interior, use rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately

2½ - 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately

4-5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends

must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of

the food. See the following illustration.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max

Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as

shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.

2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake

function and racks 2 and 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.

Baking Cookies

For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Bake

function and rack positions 2 and 5.

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

PRECISE BAKE Temperature Management System

(on some models)

The PRECISE BAKE 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 or

burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models,

the fan may be cycled on and off for short intervals to provide the

best results.

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. The time necessary to

preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 10 to

15 minutes. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are:

room temperature, starting oven temperature, and the number of

oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating

your oven to reduce the preheat times.
