Baking General Baking Recommendations • When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times and temperatures as a guide. • Use tested recipes from reliable sources. • Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven. Preheating takes from 5 to 9 minutes; place food in oven after OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off. • Arrange oven racks before turning on oven.
Convection Baking Recommendations • As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25°F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recommended times. The chart on page 32 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.

Convection Baking Frozen Convenience of Foods • Preheating the oven is not necessary. • Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for some exceptions and examples. • Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked or if foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation. • Most foods are baked on rack position #3o.
Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However, very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on muJtiple racks. Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings. The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than radiant.
Roasting General Roasting Recommendations • • Preheating is not necessary. For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two-piece pan included with the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use open pan roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked by moist heat in a covered pan. • For best results, a meat thermometer is the most accurate guide to degree of doneness.
Convection Roasting Recommendations • Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be roasted to a rich golden brown in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting. • Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature and time, The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time. Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area.

Broiling The broil element provides flexibility for broiling foods. We recommend you use the grill accessory for most of your broiling. There are some types of foods that do require use of the oven broil element. These include foods such as stuffed lobsters, meringue pies, or other foods which require top browning. To Broil 1. Place oven rack on the rack position suggested in the chart. Distance from broiling element depends on foods being prepared.
• The oven has a variable broil feature which means that the broiling temperature can be varied by selecting a lower temperature setting on the TEMPERATURE knob. Using a lower temperature setting will cause the broil element to cycle on and off. This feature can be used for foods that need to cook more slowly or need less radiant heat, If foods are broiling too fast, the control can be set at a lower temperature to reduce the cooking speed rather than moving the broiler pan to a lower rack.
Oven How the Cleaning Self-Cleaning Process Works When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening under the air grille on the top of the range.

More Information on the Self-Cleaning Process • A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal occurrence. Since the oven vent is located under the air grille, vapors, moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area. If the odor is strong or objectionable, turn on the ventilation system to exhaust odors outdoors.
