Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat
¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.

Oven Vent

A
A. Oven vent (Ceramic glass model)
A
A. Oven vent (Coil element model)
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.
On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven
is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than
1" (2.5 cm) over the element.

Baking and Roasting

®
ACCUBAKE Temperature Management System
(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 elements
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when
cycling on, the broil element will not. 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. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to
end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a temperature
other than 350°F (177°C) in 5° amounts. The bake range can
be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step.
START does not need to be pressed again on Styles 2 and 3
of Electronic Oven Controls.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.
