Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan or in muffin pans; layer cakes; casseroles; frozen convenience foods. Broiling bone-in chicken pieces. Rack 2: Roasting small cuts of meat and poultry. Large pan cakes, pies, yeast breads, quick breads, and 2-rack baking. Rack 1: Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry. Rack 6: Roasting very large poultry. Multiple Rack Cooking 3-rack: Use rack positions 1, 3 and 5 or 2, 3 and 5. 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. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Oven Vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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.

A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model) Baking and Roasting ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System (on some models) The ACCUBAKE® 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. 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 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. Preheat the oven for 2 minutes 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 Cooking During convection cooking, the bake burner cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
