Utensil Recommendations
What Should I Consider in Cookware?
6(/(&7$92,'
Flat bottomed cookware.
Pans with aluminum disk
bottoms.
Heavy gauge metal cookware. Light gauge metal cookware.
Handles that are secure, that are
not heavy enough to tilt pan.
Proper pan size.
Flat bottomed wok Wok with a ringstand on bottom
Cookware with rounded or warped

Flat Pan Test
For best cooking results, use a pan
with a flat bottom. To determine if
pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of
pan. If pan is not flat, gaps
between bottom of pan and edge
of ruler can be seen.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan
does not affect cooking times.
However, if a pan has a gap,
formed rings, or an uneven
bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases
may not boil liquid.

Can I can?
Canning is not recommended with any
of the Amana smoothtop ranges or
cooktops due to the intense heat and
large cookware required to can.
The heat generated by the canning
cookware overheats both the elements
and the smoothtop of the range. This
may cause the smoothtop to crack,
cause failure of the heating elements,
and may cause overheating of the
surrounding walls.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, using the smoothtop

Before Using the Oven
Oven Cooking Methods
This oven provides conventional Baking, Broiling, and EvenAir Plus
Convection Cooking. During EvenAir Plus Convection Cooking, the oven
fan in the rear of the oven cavity circulates air while the oven cooks. The
circulating air provides even browning and faster baking times.
Bake
Broil (upper) and bake (lower) elements operate during bake. Broil
element is only used to heat oven quickly and brown top of food
this element will cycle on and off during the baking period. Bake can
be used to cook foods which are normally baked. Oven should be
preheated.
%DNH
%URLO
Broil
Broil (upper) element operates during broil. Broil can be used to cook foods
which are normally broiled. Preheating is not required when using broil. All
foods should be turned at least once except fish, which does not need to
be turned.
EvenAir Plus Convection
Convection (rear) element and fan operate during convection.
Convection should be used for cooking pastries, souffles, yeast
bread, cakes and cookies. Oven should be preheated for best
results when using convection. Upper and lower elements operate
during preheat. Pans do not need to be staggered.

Custom Features
Service codes and tones
Electronic oven control is equipped with a self-diagnostic system.
Self-diagnostic system alerts you if there is an error or problem with the unit. If
electronic range control sounds a series of short, rapid beeps for over 16
seconds and displays an F-code, record the F-code shown. Some F-codes
can be cleared by touching OVEN CANCEL or disconnecting power to the
range. If the code continues to reoccur disconnect electrical supply to range
and contact an Amana authorized servicer.
Oven temperature control adjustment
Your new range is calibrated at the factory for temperature. Due to individual
variances and preferences, it may be necessary to adjust individual ovens
once they have been installed.
When first using the oven, follow recipe times and temperatures. Before
adjusting oven baking temperature, test a recipe by setting oven temperature
higher or lower than the suggested temperature. The baking results should
help you to decide how much of a temperature adjustment is needed.
An accurate digital thermometer is necessary to calibrate oven. Store
purchased oven thermometers do not accurately measure oven temperature.
Oven temperature can be increased or decreased 35°F. To avoid over adjusting
oven, move temperature 5°F each time.

Baking Guidelines
Remember when baking with a new oven temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-bought thermometers are
generally not accurate and cannot be used to evaluate oven temperatures. A general rule with a convection bake cycle
is to reduce your temperature by 25°F. Ingredients should be at ambient temperature prior to baking.
Hints for Cookies,
Shiny, flat cookie sheets should
be used. Avoid cookie pans with
high sidesthis will cause
uneven browning on the top.
Cookie sheet should not touch
the sides of the oven or door.
Cakes,
Determine pan size from recipe
directions. Shiny pans work best
for cakes.
Cake baked in too large a pan
will be thin and dry. Too small a
pan results in undercooked or
unevenly cooked cake and batter
may spill.
Pies
Pies should be baked in dark or
dull pans to increase browning.
Frozen pies should be heated on
an aluminum cookie sheet.

Convection Pan Placement
Baking pans and cookie sheets should not
touch side or rear walls of oven. If pans are
placed on different racks, they can be placed
directly over each other. Convection cooking
circulates air around oven providing even
browning on all rack positions. When using
convection, oven can be loaded on all racks
with excellent cooking results.

Common Baking Problems
Adjusting to a new oven can be hard, especially making a change to a convection oven. If you begin to notice
consistent problems refer to the chart below for possible solutions. If baking results are still poor, contact
Amana Consumer Affairs at (800) 843-0304.

Test your cakes for doneness
While they are still in the oven. Because
of variances across individual ovens, it
is best to test for the proper consistency
rather than solely relying on time and
visual appearance as an indicator.
It may not be the oven
Cake problems may be in the mixing of
the batter. Overbeating can cause cake
structure to break down and excessive
shrinkage of the cake. Underbeating
can result in lumpy cakes that may not
be cooked thoroughly. All ingredients
should be at room temperature—not
out of the refrigerator. Make sure to
follow the recipes directions for how
long the batter should be mixed and
recommended times.
Stuck cake?
Allow cake to cool in cake pan on a
rack for 10 minutes before removing.
Larger cakes (over 14 inches in
diameter) may take 15 minutes. If the
cake has cooled too long, reheat in the
oven at 250°F for a few minutes.

Meat Basics
While cooking has always been a talent, it is now becoming a science, also. Amana provides this information as a
guide to aid in preparation. For specific questions regarding meat preparation, handling, or storage contact
USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at (800) 535-4555.
Handling Hints
When shopping, put meat in its
own separate plastic sack to
keep drips off other foods.
Defrost frozen meats in
refrigerator, not at room
temperature.
Keep meat cool and covered until
it is time to cook.
Wash hands with warm soapy
water before and after handling
meat or raw egg.
Thoroughly wash any surface or
utensil raw meat or egg touched.
Do not put cooked meat on the
same plate that held raw meat.
Cooking Tips
Marinate meat in the refrigerator.
Throw out excess marinade that
came into contact with meat.
Use an oven-proof meat
thermometer.
Cook meat to internal
temperature recommended
by USDA.
When reheating foods, heat
to an internal temperature of
at least 165 °F.
While cooking meats, turn over
at least once.
Using a Meat Thermometer
When using a meat thermometer, remember to insert it at a slight angle, in
the thickest part of the meat, away from fat and bone. The meat should be
removed from oven when 5°F below the desired final temperature. While the
meat sits before carving, it will continue to cook internally, raising the last 5°F
by itself.
A meat thermometer can
Take the guesswork out of cooking to a desired doneness.
Help reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
Oven-safe Thermometer
Inserted before the meat is placed in the oven, this thermometer stays
with the meat while it cooks.
The internal temperature will rise slowly as the meat cooks.
Instant-read Thermometer
Not oven safe, these thermometers are placed in the meat when it is
removed from the oven.
While times may vary, an accurate temperature is normally displayed
within one to two minutes.
When using an instant-read, remember to clean the thermometer stem
with warm, soapy water between readings.
Storage Safety
Once carved, refrigerate unused
portion immediately.
Keep hot foods hot and cold
foods cold when serving meals.
Separate cooked foods into
small portions for fast cooling.
Do not store cooked ground
meats or meals containing
ground meats for longer than
3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Do not allow cooked or uncooked
meat juices to come into contact
with ready-to-eat foods such as
fruits or vegetables.
Tenderizing
Braising is only one way to tenderize
less tender cuts. Before cooking, you
may pound, cube, marinate, or use
commercially prepared meat tenderizers.
You may then use a dry method to cook
the meat.
Marinades are acidic liquids such
as wine, citrus, or vinegar.
Marinades soften meat fibers but
only penetrate about one-fourth of
an inch into the interior of the
meat. Do not marinate meat for
longer than 24 hours.
•Pounding with a heavy meat mallet
breaks down the connective tissue
to tenderize meat.
•Cubing breaks down the structure
more than pounding. Cubing is
done at the meat counter.
•Commercial tenderizers are
primarily enzymes that work on the
outer fourth inch on a meat cut.
Make sure to follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
18
Broiling Guidelines
Broiling is a dry heat cooking method that allows a restaurant quality
charbroiled flavor. Meat is exposed directly to the heating element at high
temperatures.
1. Place meat on rack in broiler pan, with the surface of cuts the specified
distance from the heating element (specified below).
2. Broil for half the recommended time, or until the surface is browned.
3. Turn meat and continue broiling to desired internal temperature.
4. Season, if desired.

Roasting Guidelines
Tender cuts such as rib and loin cuts are best cooked by dry heat methods,
such as roasting. When using convection to roast, meat may roast more
quickly. To roast:
1. Heat oven to desired temperature.
2. Place roast directly from refrigerator fat side up in a shallow roasting pan.
3. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of
roast. Make sure thermometer does not rest in fat or on bone.
5. Transfer roast to carving board and tent loosely with aluminum foil for
approximately 15 minutes.

Braising Guidelines
Less tender cuts such as those from the round, chuck, brisket and shank
require moist cooking. A longer cooking time at lower temperatures with
moisture helps soften the meat. If using the convection element, less time
may be required to braise the meat.
1. Brown meat with a small amount of oil in heavy pan.
2. Pour off excessive drippings, season, if desired.
3. Add small amount of liquid (1/2 to 2 cups) and cover tightly.
Simmer gently over low heat on top of the range or in a 325°F oven,
until meat is fork tender.
