Positioning Racks and Bakeware

Use the following illustration as a guide.
The oven has seven positions for a flat rack, as shown in the
previous illustration and the following table.
Flat Rack Position Type of Food
7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
steaks
6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish
3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles
2 Roasted meats
1 Large roasts or poultry
IMPORTANT: If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the
recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the
desired position of the food. See the following illustration.
A. Ends of rack in position 3
B. Food in position 2
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max
Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted
as shown in the previous figure.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Multiple Rack Cooking
Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular or convection
baking.
Three-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2, 4 and 6.

Baking and Roasting

Precision Cooking System - Precise Bake
™ ™
The Precise Bake system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake burner cycles on and
off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan may run
while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals
during preheating to provide the best results. This feature is
automatically activated when the oven is in use.
The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the
cycle.
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.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to
preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 10 to
15 minutes, depending on the model.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat rack should be in the oven during Power
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Power
Preheat. Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the oven control
prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press
POWER PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed
before placing food in the oven and should be used only for one-
rack baking. When the power preheat cycle is complete, the oven
starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Power Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
