To Insert Roll-Out Rack
1. Angle the front of the rack assembly up, and then insert the
rack frame into the “V” cutout in the rack guides of the oven
cavity.
2. Keep rack assembly lifted up at an angle, and then push in to
bypass the lower “V” cutout.
3. Lower the front of the rack assembly, and then gently slide rack
assembly into oven, bypassing the “V” cutouts. Push the rack
assembly to the back of the oven until it stops.
To Remove Roll-Out Rack
1. Push the sliding rack in completely so that it is in the closed
and engaged position.
2. Using 2 hands, gently pull the sliding rack and the rack frame at
the same time to the “V” cutout. Angle the rack so that the front
is higher than the back, and then gently pull rack past “V”
cutout and then out of the oven.
To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than 25 lbs
(11.4 kg) on the rack.
Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the
rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of
the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle
rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven
temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat
lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that
when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the
proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds.
Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or
cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the
oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise
temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil
elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection
range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled
on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best
results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in
use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Steam Bake
The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack
to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack
contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam in to
the oven cavity during the steam bake cycle. There are
3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts
and Fish, as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.
For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available
rack position in the cavity and pour 1½ cups (350 mL) of water into
the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the
reservoir.
After the steam bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in
the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard
the water.
