Choice Bake ® Function (on some models) ® The CHOICE BAKE function reduces top heat in the oven during cooking. It is ideal when baking pies, breads and casseroles and when roasting meat and poultry. During traditional baking and roasting, the bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off at intervals.
When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is complete, the display will show a warming countdown time. When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and “End” will appear on the display. Four tones will sound, and then four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.
Sequence Programming (on some models) Sequence Programming allows you to program at one time up to 4 cooking functions. 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.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the HI setting. Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.
