Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Oven Racks

Protective Liners -- Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock or fire.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

To Arrange: Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To Remove: Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To Replace: Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Important: Be sure to remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are not removed, they may discolor.

Important: Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an extended period of time, even when the oven is off.

Oven Rack Descriptions

• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

• To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack (some models) in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

• The fully extendable oven glide rack allows you to effort- lessly extend your food away from the oven.

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the

bakeware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Glide Racks

The glide rack is an extendable rack that makes food prepara- tion easier. It has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Removing and Replacing the Oven Glide Racks

To remove the oven glide rack:

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

Always remove/replace the oven racks before

turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).

1. Lift up on the release lever located across the lower front of the rack, as shown in Figure 4.

While holding up the release lever (Figure 5), pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached, use two hands if necessary.

Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of the glide rack (Figure 6).

Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven.

5°

Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack. The rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together.

Figure 4: Extendable glide rack with release lever in locked position

Figure 5: Extendable glide rack with release lever in unlocked position

To replace the glide rack:

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.

Always remove/replace the oven racks before

turning on the oven (when the oven is cool).

1. Grasp both upper and lower portions of the glide rack (Figure 6).

2. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls.

3. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position. Some force may be necessary to make sure the oven rack has snapped into place.

Important note: To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned inside the oven cavity.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom- mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for

best results.

• Convection baking is preferred for multiple rack cooking.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 4 (Figure 12) and place pans as shown in Figure 13. Use flat rack in position 4 and glide rack in position 1.

• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as shown in Figure 13. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.

• Glass bakeware is a slow heat condutor. May require reducing oven temperature.

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and

550°F (288°C).

The suggested broil settings in Table 2 are recommendations only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack posi- tion. If the food you are broiling is not listed in n Table 2, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cook- top will become very hot which can cause burns.

Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door

closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 17). This

improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using

two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and

pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of Convection Bake:

• Superior multiple oven rack performance

• Foods bake more evenly

• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.

Important note:

The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe instructions have been written especially for convection baking.

If the recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use convection baking, follow the "Setting Convection Convert" instructions on page 17. Convection convert will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking will provide the best possible results.

To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F (177°C):

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.

To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.

1. Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.

2. Press Conv Bake.

3. Press ST_T.

.... m

To cancel Conv Bake at any time, press sToP.

Important:

• The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake, convection roast, or convection convert has been acti-

vated.

• If the oven door is opened when the convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

Convection Baking/Convection Convert Tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven.

Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.

Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's

recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended

cook time.

• When using convection bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being

cooked.

• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for best results. Place the pans as shown in Figure 18.

• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake

time.

• Glass bakeware may require reduced temperatures.

• When using Convec Bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 4 (Figure 19) and place pans as shown in Figure 18. Use flat rack in position 4 and glide rack in position 1.

• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as shown in Figure 18. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Setting Convection Convert

Pressing Conv Convert automatically converts the cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to the lower temperature required for convection baking.

When convection convert is used with a timed convection bake setting of 20 minutes or more, the convection convert function

will display a CF message as a reminder to check food when the bake time is 75% complete (Figure 20). At this time the oven control will sound 1 long beep at regular intervals until the set

cook time has finished.

Important note:

• Convection convert may only be used with the convection bake function and with a minimum of 20 minutes cook time.

The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake, convection roast, or convection convert has been acti- vated. If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until

the oven door is closed.

Figure 20: Check Food reminder shown in display. To program oven for Convection Convert with oven default

temperature of 350°F (177°C) and to shut-off after 30 minutes:

Setting Convection Roast

The convection roast function combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the convection roast function will be juicier and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Convection roast may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convection Roast:

Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Convection roast. Since convection roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25°/'0 from the recommended cook time of your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until

the desired doneness is obtained.

• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

To set Convection Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F (177°C):

1. Press Upper Oven or Lower Oven.

2. Press Conv Roast.

3. Press START.

To cancel Conv Roast at any time, press sToP. Important note:

• The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake, convection roast, or convection convert has been acti-

vated.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven

door is closed.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead and roast on rack position 1.

Oven Controls

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn the outside as it seals in the meat's juices. Two (2) Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours. The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger- ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking. When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position

2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type

cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown. Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

Important note:

Slow Cook may be used with Cook Time. The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours and 59 minutes. If a

longer cook time is desired, set the control to the continuous mode using "Changing Between Continuous Bake Setting or 12 Hour Energy Saving" on page 11 and do not use Cook Time.
