Timers

 WARNING

The timers on your range do not turn the oven on or off. They 

are only for timing purposes. When you want to turn the oven 

off automatically, use the 

Delay Timed Cooking Features

 (see 

page 18).

IMPORTANT:

 Pressing the 

CANCEL/SECURE

 key does NOT 

turn off the timers.

Your range is equipped with 2 built-in timers: 

You can use both of them at the same time.

Operating the Oven

Your range offers two broil modes:

Broil
Convection  Broil

Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods, 

including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers, and fish. In the 

interest of safety, keep the oven door completely shut when using 

the broil modes.

 CAUTION

To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from the oven 

when using either of the broil modes. It can be damaged by 

temperatures above 450°F.

BROIL

Uses a top heat source. Best for broiling smaller 

amounts of food.

CONVECTION BROIL

This mode uses a combination of the convection 

fan and a top heat source. It is best for items that 

do not need to be flipped such as, thinner cuts of meat, fish, and 

garlic bread.


Understanding the Various Oven Modes (cont.)

Broiling Tips

If the meat probe is plugged into the oven, disconnect and 

remove it before selecting one of the broil modes. The broil 

modes do not function with the meat probe connected.
It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to 

give the food a broiled flavor.
Setting the timer is recommended to time the broiling process.
Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for 

excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spatter, smoke, and 

flare-ups.
Start with a room temperature broiler pan for even cooking.
Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats. Never pierce 

meat with a fork because the natural juices will escape.
Broil food on the first side for a little more than half of the 

recommended time, then season and turn. Season the second 

side just before removing the food from the oven.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess 

grease will result in heavy smoke. For easier cleaning, remove 

the broiler pan and grill when the food is removed.
