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

Preheating
When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven will
begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all
of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat
cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven
temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat
lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures
that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at
the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone
sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone
sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time.
Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during
Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting
Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed
before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle
is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed
to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly
hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the
oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven
which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is
recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run
in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
A
Temperature Management System
The temperature management 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. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be
cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the
best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven
is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
"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.
Frozen Bake™
Frozen Bake™ Technology automatically adjusts the
manufacturer's bake time by combining preheating and baking,
to deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait.
There are six programmed food options to choose from: Pizza,
Lasagna, Nuggets, Fries, Pie, and Meal. The Frozen Bake™
cycles have been customized to work only with these foods.
When using Frozen Bake™ Technology, it is important that
you follow all manufacturer's instructions including venting,
covering, stirring or placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good
result. When cooking frozen meals, only cook items that provide
instructions for cooking in a conventional oven. Place your dish
in the center of the rack and select one of the rack positions
recommended for Frozen Bake™ in the Positioning Racks and
Bakeware section and bake only one package or pan at a time.
Use the temperature and maximum bake time from the package.
A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the
cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The
display will prompt you to add additional cook time if desired or
end the cycle.
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting
food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position
food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack
6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware"
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
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.
