Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent 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 prevent 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.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

Timed Cooking
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. DELAY START TIME should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section.
To Set a COOK TIME:
1.Press BAKE.
Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5° amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2.Press COOK TIME.
3.Press HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pad until the desired length of time appears on the display.
4.Press START/ENTER.
The temperature and set cook time can be changed after this step. START/ENTER does not need to be pressed again.
When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the display.
5.Press OFF/CANCEL anytime to end Timed Cooking or to stop reminder tones and clear the display.
