7 - General Oven Tips
Preheating the Oven
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and
Convection Roast modes.
• Use Fast Preheat mode when a shorter time is desired to
preheat the oven.
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat
time.
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads.
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is
always displayed.
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the
“PREHEAT” text will turn off.
Operational Suggestions
• Use the cooking charts included in this manual as a guide.
• Do not set pans on the open oven door.
• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven
door window rather than opening the door frequently.
Utensils
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature
25°F (15°C) when baking in glass.
• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type of finish
on the pan will help determine the amount of browning that
will occur.
• Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect
heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of utensil.
• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
• For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick / anodized or
dark, dull metal utensils or glass bake ware. Insulated baking
pans may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this
could change cooking performance. Store the broil pan
outside of the oven.
Oven Condensation and Temperature
• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time
will vary from the standard.
120/240 vs. 120/208 Volt Connection
• Most oven installations will have a 120/240 voltage
connection.
• If your oven is installed with 120/208 voltage, the preheat
time may be slightly longer than with 120/240 voltage.
• The oven is designed to assure the same clean time at 208V.
Oven Racks
• The oven has rack guides at six levels as shown in the
illustration on Page 7.
• Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack guide
(#1) to the top (#6).
• Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use when
cooking.
• Each level guide consists of paired supports formed in the
walls on each side of the oven cavity.
• Always be sure to position the oven racks before turning on
the oven. Make sure that the racks are level and secure once
they are in position.
Please refer to illustration on Page 7 if there is any question
as to which side is the front of the rack.
• The racks are designed to stop when pulled forward to their
limit.
ATTENTION
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line
the oven. It can cause damage to the oven liner if heat is
trapped under the foil.
ATTENTION
Make sure you do not force it to avoid damage to the
enamel.
To remove oven rack from the oven:
1. Pull rack forward
