Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom 
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil 
because air must be able to move freely.
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 position 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:  2-rack baking.
Rack 4:  Use for broiling and toasting.
Rack 3:  Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan, or in 
muffin pans; casseroles; frozen convenience foods. 
Rack 2:  Roasting small cuts of meat, pies, casseroles, bundt and 
angel food cakes, yeast bread, quick breads, and 2-rack 
baking.
Rack 1:  Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry.
Rack 6:  Extra-large items.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks use racks 2 and 5 
for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Oven Vent
A. 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 
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 
170ºF (75ºC) 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
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the 
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control 
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. 
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry 
may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
■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 cover for contact information. Ask for Part 
Number 4396923.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless 
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, 
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to 
ensure proper broiling temperature.
Convection Baking and Roasting
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements 
or burners cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven 
temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, 
the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven 
door is closed.
