Using Your Electric Oven
How to determine the amount of adjustment needed
The following chart tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the desired cooking results. You can determine cooking results by amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods.

1. Position rack.
See “Broiling rack positions” in the “Broiling tips” section for recommended rack positions.
NOTES:
•Before turning oven on position oven rack(s) in desired location.
•Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect hands if rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot.
•Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch hot broil element.
NOTE: See the “Broiling tips” section for additional broiling tips.
2. Put food in oven.
Place food on grid in broiler pan and place in center of the oven rack.
NOTES:
•Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil element.
•To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.
•If foil is used to cover broiler grid, cut slits in foil to allow grease to drain away.
3.Close door.
NOTE: Do not keep the door open as on other electric ovens. Unlike other electric ovens, the broil element will only stay on with the door closed. This gives you the high heat you need for broiling. However, if you leave the door open, the broil ele- ment will go off.
4. Press Broil.
