Getting the Most Out of Your ApplianceGeneral TipsPreheating the Oven Pan PlacementBaking results are better if pans are placed in the center ofthe oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow atleast 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When bakingfour cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on tworacks so that one pan is not directly above the other.Rack PositionRack positionsare numberedfrom 1 to 6, frombottom to top.Consult the foodcooking charts atthe back of thismanual forrecommendedrack positions.The top rack guide is not used with the cooking racks. Userack positions 1 through 6 only. The top guide is there onlyto bracket the rack and prevent it from tipping wheninserted in position 6. Inserting a rack onto the top guidewould not be stable, since there is no guide above it toprevent tipping. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide tosupport a rack. Preheat RemindersYour oven has one of the fastest preheat times in themarket using a concealed bake element. The lowerelement is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal thatthe preheat time is different than your previous oven thathad an exposed element on the bottom. Rack Position6 (highestusable position)Best Forhamburgers, steaksPlace oven racks in desired position before heating theoven.Preheat the oven when using the Bake, ConvectionBake, Convection Multi-Rack, Pizza, Broil, and Warmmodes.Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipeingredients or food items.Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheattime.Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven asquickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat andreduction of oven temperature. Cleaning the oven is easier because there is nocleaning around a coil element showing on the bottomof the oven. The hidden lower element is protectedfrom food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills iseasy.Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry,casseroles and frozen foods.Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supplyto your house is less than 240 volts.Increasing the oven temperature will require a longerpreheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425 Fis longer than the preheat time for 350 F.5toasting bread, broiling most meats,melting cheese4thicker meats3broiling poultry, most baked goods ona cookie sheet or baking pan using asingle rack, includes frozenconvenience foods, cakes,casseroles, frozen pizzaFor Best Results2small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes,pies, breads 1 (lowestposition)large roasts, turkey, angel food cake Aluminum FoilDo not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any partof the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installingthese liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.English 13When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do notpreheat for more than 5 minutes. Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.Open the door as briefly as possible to avoidtemperature reduction.Use the interior oven light to view the food through theoven window rather than opening the door frequently.Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.

elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
