Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.
Baking and Roasting
Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the �Positioning Racks and Bakeware� section.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting. 2. Place food in oven. The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting. 3.
