Electric Double Oven Range Use and Care Guide

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
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. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat
thermometer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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
Before baking, position racks according to the “Positioning
Racks and Bakeware” section.
■ If the lower oven is not in use, the upper oven will preheat
more quickly.
■ Allow at least ½" (1.3 cm) between the baking pan or
casserole and the top element in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended in the upper oven.
■ When baking frozen, self-rise pizza in the upper oven, place
the pizza on a cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.
■ 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.
■ The back part of the lower oven bake element will not glow
red during baking. This is normal.

5° increments until the preset temperature is reached.
Allow 4 to 10 minutes for the upper oven to preheat and
7 to 12 minutes for the lower oven to preheat.
When the set oven temperature is reached, one long beep will
sound and “PREHEAT” will disappear from the display.
To recall the set temperature during preheat, press BAKE.
To change the oven temperature during preheat, press the
Bake pad twice, then press the Presets pad or appropriate
number pads until the desired temperature is displayed.
