Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: 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. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. 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. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid slide out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
■
To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
■
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
door during broiling.
■
Do not use broiler cavity for storage.
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help avert spatter and
smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avert curling.
■
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler door and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place food on the grid so grease can drain down into the
lower part of the broiler pan.
3. Place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.
4. Push in and turn the oven control knob to broiler position. The
temperature can be lowered at any time during the broiling by
turning the oven control knob to the desired temperature.
5. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF position when
finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, broiler pan should be rotated at the same time
the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be
adjusted for individual foods and tastes.
