Using the Oven
Before Using the Oven
NOTE
 
Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven 
thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not 
show the same temperature that is set on the 
oven.
 
It is normal for the convection fan to run while 
preheating during a regular bake cycle.
 
The convection fan motor may run periodically 
during a regular bake cycle.
 
The heat turns off if the door is left open during 
baking. If the door is left open for longer than 
30 seconds during baking, the heat turns off. 
The heat turns back on automatically once the 
door is closed.
Oven Vent
Areas near the vent may become hot during operation 
and may cause burns. Do not block the vent opening. 
Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may 
distort or melt the plastic.
It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking 
foods with high moisture content.
Oven Vent
Using Oven Racks
The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents 
them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.
Removing Racks
1
Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2
Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
Replacing Racks
1
Place the end of the rack on the support.
2
Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
CAUTION
 
Replace oven racks before turning the oven on 
to prevent burns.
 
Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or 
any other material, or place anything on the 
bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor 
baking and may damage the oven bottom.
 
Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
Bake
Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, 
breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed 
to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to 
550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F 
(175 °C).
Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F)
1
Touch 
Bake.
2
Set the oven temperature: touch 
3, 7 and 5.
3
Touch 
Start. The oven starts to preheat.
As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed 
and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven 
reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the 
oven light blinks on and off.
4
When cooking is complete, touch 
Clear/Off.
5
Remove food from the oven.
NOTE
It is normal for the convection fan to operate 
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the 
lower oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
