Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow
manufacturer's directions for using a 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.
Oven Vents
The oven vents release hot air and moisture from the ovens, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vents
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 vents.
Baking
Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning
Racks and Bakeware” section.
■
If only one oven is to be used, that oven will preheat more
quickly.
■
Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or
casserole and the top burner in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
■
When preheating with a baking/pizza stone inside the upper
oven, do not set oven above 400°F (205°C). To use baking/
pizza stones at temperatures above 400°F (205°C) in the
upper oven, put stone in after the preheat beep.
■
Use only one rack in the upper oven.
■
If your range is equipped with a convection fan in the lower
oven, the fan may turn on during non-convection cycles or
preheating.
To Bake:
1. Press BAKE for the desired oven.
“BAKE” will scroll in the upper or lower text area (depending
on oven selection), and “350°F (175°C)” will be displayed.

followed by “Push START.”
2. Use the number keypad to enter the desired temperature.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by
using the number keypad to enter the new temperature and
then pressing START for the desired oven. Changing the
temperature once food is placed in the oven could affect
performance.

TIME. Use the number keypad to enter the desired time.
“Push START” will scroll in the selected oven text area.
4. Press START for the desired oven.
If the upper oven is used, “Preheating” will appear in the
upper oven text area.
If the only the lower oven is used, “Rapid preheating for

will appear. If no change is made, “Preheating for single rack
baking” will appear in the display. “Rapid preheating for
single rack baking” will scroll in the selected oven text area.
“Preheating” remains in the text area until the set temperature
is reached. See “Preheating” in the “Oven Use” section for
more information.
If multi-rack baking is desired, START for the desired oven
should be pressed again and “Standard preheat for multi rack
baking. Press START to preheat for single rack baking.” will
appear in the display, followed by “Preheating for multi rack
baking.”
5. When the preheat cycle is complete, insert food. “Insert food
for one rack baking” or “Insert food for multirack baking” will
appear in the selected oven text area.
“Bake” will scroll in the selected oven text area until CANCEL
for the desired oven is pressed.
6. Place food in the oven when the preheat tone sounds.
7. Press CANCEL for the desired oven when finished.
8. Remove food from the oven.
NOTE: If a Set Cooking Time is to be used when only one
oven is used, increase the cook time by 10 minutes. If a Set
Cooking Time is to be used when both ovens are used or
multi-rack baking in the lower oven, increase the cook time
by 15 minutes. When the Set Cooking Time expires, the
oven(s) will turn off.
