Oven settings This chart tells you when to use each setting. It also explains what elements heat up for each setting. SETTING DIAGRAM SETTING INFORMATION BAKE Use this setting for standard baking and roasting. • The bottom element and top element heat up. • During baking, the elements will turn on and off to maintain the oven temperature. BROIL Use this setting for broiling regular-sized and smaller cuts of meat, poultry, and fish. • The top element heats during Broil.
Positioning General racks and pans guidelines = Before turning on the oven, place oven racks where you need them. • To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front and pull out. • Be sure the rack(s) is level. • Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands, if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot. • For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. • When baking on two racks, arrange racks on the second and fourth level from bottom.
For best air circulation Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans: One pan Place in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Place in opposite corners of the oven rack. Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking. Three or four pans Place in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another. • Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
Convection baking/roasting NOTE: These examples are for double upper ovens only. Other ovens may look slightly different. 1. Position racks. For more information, see "Positioning racks and pans" on page 13. 2. Choose convection setting. PRESS YOU SEE to select oven (for double ovens) (or 177°0) PRESS OR 3. Set temperature (optional). Do this step if you want to set a temperature other than 350°F for bake or 325°F for convection bake.

PRESS YOU SEE (single ovens) (time of day) OR (double Convection (convection coo|zing ovens) tips pad) = Do not use aluminum foil when convection cooking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
Adjusting the oven temperature Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following these steps: control NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an inaccurate reading.
PRESS 3. Enter the adjustment. YOU SEE (time of day) How to determine the amount of adjustment The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the desired cooking results. You can determine cooking results by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods. To display temperatures in °C instead The oven(s) must be off before switching between °C and °F. Press and hold the Custom Broil pad for 5 seconds.
2. Put food on broiler pan and place in center of oven rack. NOTES: • Place food 3" or more from the broil element. • To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling. • If foil is used to cover broiler grid, cut slits in foil to allow grease to drain away. 3.

i==, How the cycle works The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away. Your oven is preset for a 3½-hour SelfCleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 21½and 41½hours. (See "Setting the controis" on page 37.
