Baking and Roasting ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management (on some models) The ACCUBAKE® 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 burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
BROILING CHART For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes.

Timed Cooking (on some models) WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
Sequence Programming (on some models) Sequence Programming allows you to program up to 4 cooking functions at one time. Other oven functions, such as the Timer and Warming Drawer, may be used when a sequenced Program is running. All steps of a sequenced program must be programmed with a stop time. If a stop time is not entered for a step in the sequence program, and the FIRST/NEXT STEP pad is pressed, 3 tones will sound prompting you to enter a stop time.
Warming Drawer (on some models) WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Warming Drawer Temperature Chart Different foods require different settings in order to maintain the ideal serving temperature. Use the following chart as a guide.
RANGE CARE Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models) WARNING Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
