BAKING/ROASTING (CONT.)
4. When roasting, put your food in the oven. You
do not have to preheat
the oven when roasting,
unless your recipe
recommends it.
NOTE: The oven will
cook normally even
though the preheat
countdown timer is
displayed.
5. Press the start/enter pad.
A preheating time will count down on the display.
The oven control automatically sets preheating
times based on the oven temperature you select:
•
For 245°F and less, the preheating time is
4 minutes.
•
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
•
For above 450°F, the preheating time is
12 minutes.
As the preheat countdown ends, the selected
oven temperature replaces “PrE” on the display
and the time of day reappears. You will hear a
1-second tone, indicating the oven is ready to use.
The AccuBake system electronically regulates
the preheat time and temperature to maintain a
precise temperature range for the best cooking
results. The preheat and set temperatures may
be different at the end of the countdown. This
is normal.
NOTES:
•
When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F,
no preheating time will be shown on the display.
•
You can change the temperature setting any
time after pressing the start/enter pad. You do
not have to press the start/enter pad again.
•
The preheating time will not change if you reset
t
he temperature before the countdown time ends.
•
If you are baking/roasting while the minute
timer is counting down, you can see the set
baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds
by pressing the bake pad.
Roasting meats and poultry
•
For even cooking, place the meat on a
rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat
out of the drippings and allows the heat to
circulate better.
•
Use a meat thermometer for the most
accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in
the center of the largest muscle or thick-
est portion of the meat or poultry. Make
sure the thermometer is not touching
bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.
