Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish, are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

■ Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion

of the meat or inner thigh and breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

■ After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

½" (1.3 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

■ Check all meat, poultry and fish in 2 or 3 different places.

Oven Vent

A B C

A. Upper microwave oven B. Oven vent C. Lower oven D. Warm air

A. Broil elements B. Bake element

During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and both broils) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1. Touch BA K E.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 350°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Touch STA R T.

“Lo” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will begin displaying the temperature as it increases.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3. Touch OFF when finished cooking.

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the lower oven. Blocking or covering lower oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results.

Full and Center Broiling

A. Full broil B. Center broil

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. During full broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat.

During center broiling, only the inner broil element heats. The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the elements will come back on approximately 30 seconds later.

■ 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 Kit, it may be

ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil elements, rack position 4 is recommended. For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

A temperature setting of 500°F (260°C) is recommended. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for

individual foods and tastes.

To Broil:

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise

control. 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.

Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Convection Cooking

(single, upper and, on some models, lower oven)

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C), and cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so

that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only

when necessary.

■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with

lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the

minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.

Do not touch broil element.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to

determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

To Convection Bake:

Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.

1. Touch CONVECTION BAKE.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Touch STA R T.

“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

3. Touch OFF when finished cooking.

Convection Roast

Convection Bake

A. T.H.E.™ Convection element (hidden) and fan

The T.H.E.™ (Third Hidden Element) convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced, efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the T.H.E.™ convection element and broil element and the CleanBake™ element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the T.H.E.™ convection element and the CleanBake™ element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil (only during preheating) elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may

need to be reduced also.

A. Broil heat B. Convection fan C. Bake heat

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack. During convection roasting, the broil, convect, and CleanBake™ elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Bake, broil, and convect elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may

need to be reduced also.

To Convection Roast:

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces.

Convection Broil

A. Broil heat B. Convection fan

During convection broiling, the broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

The temperature is preset at 450°F (232°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.

If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan turns off immediately when door is opened and turns on again immediately when door is closed. Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

To Convection Broil:

Before convection broiling, see “Full and Center Broiling” section for general broiling guidelines. Position rack.

Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

Close the door.

1. Touch CONVECTION BROIL.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 450°F (232°C). The convection broil range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Touch START.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until oven is turned off.

3. Touch OFF when finished cooking.

EasyConvect™ Conversion

Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a guide.

SETTING FOODS

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs otherwise.
