Electric Ovens

Quick Reference Guide

Built-in wall ovens, range ovens

IMPORTANT: This reference guide is not a substitute for the Use

& Care manual. Read and consult the appliance Use & Care
manual for important safety messages and additional

information regarding the use of your new appliance.

Prepare the Oven for Use

Set the Clock

See detailed instructions in your appliance’s Use and Care
manual. Procedure varies by appliance.

Perform a before-first-use cleaning

• Wipe the oven interior with a clean, damp cloth using a
mild dish detergent and wipe dry.

• To further reduce first-use odor, run a 30 minute bake
cycle at 350° F.

User Settings

Consult the Use & Care manual “User Settings” to set 12/24 hour
clock mode, Fahrenheit/Celsius temperature display, touchpad
sound, show clock, oven temperature offset, and auto convection
(select models only).

Oven Racks

Do not handle the rack when it is hot. Make sure the oven rack is
in the desired position before preheating the oven.

The oven has six rack
position guides numbered 1
to 6 starting from the bottom.
Refer to the table below or
the cooking charts in your
appliance’s Use & Care
manual for rack position to
use when baking.

Rack Position Usage

Position Best For

6 hamburgers, steaks

5 toasting bread, broiling most meats, melting

cheese

4 thicker meats

3 broiling poultry, most baked goods on cooking

sheet or baking pan, one rack, frozen convenience
foods, cakes, casseroles, frozen pizza

2 small roasts/poultry, bundt cakes, pies, breads

1 large roasts, turkey, angel food cake

Avoid Potential Damage to Oven Racks: Do not attempt to
clean an oven rack using the oven’s Self-Clean feature. The
intense heat will damage the rack’s finish and performance.

Inserting the Telescopic Rack

Hold the rack by both sides.
Slide it in above the position
guide until the back of the
rack is about 2 inches from
the back of the oven. Tilt the
front of the rack up slightly (A)
and finish pushing the rack
back (B).

The back of the rack drops into place. Pull the rack forward to
seat the back onto the rack position guide.

Lower the front of the rack to finish seating it on the guide. The
rack should be level and flat when properly inserted. Slide the
moveable part of the rack in and out a few times to make sure
the rack is securely anchored.

Oven Mode and Temperature

Setting the cooking mode and temperature

• Select the cooking mode you wish to use (see the cooking
mode chart on the next page for mode descriptions).

appliance).

* available in some models

Do not use the Warm mode to warm cold food. Maintain proper food temperature (USDA recommends 140°F or higher).
DO NOT keep food warm for longer than 1 hour.

Cooks with dry, heated air Variety of foods, such as cakes, cookies,

pastries, quick breads, quiche and
casseroles

Uses more intense heat from upper
element, more browning of exterior

Uses intense heat radiated from the
upper element

Maintains a low temperature in
order to keep food hot

Maintains a low temperature for
proofing bread or other yeast
doughs.

Similar to Bake, but air is circulated
by a fan at the back of the oven

Circulates heat uniformly using fan
and heating element in the back

Uses lower and more intense heat
from upper element than
Convection Bake with air circulated
by a fan

Similar to Bake, but air is circulated
from a fan at the back of the oven
that cycles on and off

Combines intense heat from upper
element with fan circulation

Uses all the heating elements as
well as the convection fan to evenly
distribute heat

Uses residual heat to reduce energy
consumption during cooking

Best suited for meats, poultry, less tender
cuts of meats and roasting vegetables

Tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry,
browning bread & casseroles

Keeping cooked foods at serving
temperature

Rising of bread dough containing yeast Loosely cover dough with a cloth for rising

Best for baked goods such as cakes,
cornbread, pies, quick breads, tarts, and
yeast breads

Use for biscuits, cookies, cream puffs,
cupcakes, dinner rolls, and muffins

Tender cuts of meat and poultry. Roasting
vegetables. Meats are more juicy and
moist than results with Roast mode

All types of pizza - fresh, frozen, prebaked
crust, ready-to-bake

Tender cuts of meat (more than 1"),
poultry and fish. Not for browning

Frozen convenience foods such as fish
sticks, chicken nuggets and french fries.

Tender cuts of meat and poultry Requires use of probe. Allow 5 - 10 minute

Best used with a single rack

Preheat not necessary. Use for cooking
bags and covered bakeware

Preheat oven 3 - 4 minutes. Use with rack in
pan to drain fat away.Turn meat once

To keep food moist, cover with lid or foil. To
keep food dry, do not cover

Reduce temperature 25°F from recipe. Use
for 1 or 2 racks of food

Reduce temperature 25°F from recipe. Use
for 2 and 3 racks of food

Preheat not necessary. Use recipe/cooking
chart temperature. Use open roasting pan
with rack

Preheat baking stone while preheating.
Crispy crust use oven rack. Best browning
use dark coated pizza pan

Preheat oven 3 - 4 minutes. Use with rack in
pan to drain fat away.Turn meat once

No preheating required

stand time outside the oven

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the
oven.

• Place a single pan in the center of the oven rack

• Allow 1” to 1 1/2” around pans

• Stagger pans if used on two racks so one pan is not above
another

Baking Pans and Dishes

Use light anodized or shiny metal bakeware for tender, light,
golden brown crusts.

Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat and will result in a browner,
crisper crust. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in
selecting baking temperatures.

Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of
cooking time.

Use low-sided, uncovered pans for convection modes.

For Best Cooking Results

• Open the oven door as briefly as possible to avoid reducing
the oven temperature.

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven
window rather than opening the door frequently.

• When using Convection baking modes (including Multi­Rack), set the oven temperature 25° lower than indicated in
conventional baking recipes or package directions.

• Preheat oven for baked goods and pizza.
