BakingandRoasting
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1.Touch BAKE.
Touch TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2.Touch START.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step by touching the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pads. START does not need to be touched again. If baking/roasting while the Timer is counting down, the set baking/roasting temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by touching BAKE.
3.Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished.
Preheating
After START is touched, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning cycle. The bake indicator light will light up. The Electronic Oven Control automatically selects the conditioning cycle time based on the oven temperature selected. The conditioning cycle time will not change if the temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. The preheat conditioning cycle is complete and the oven is ready to use when a
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.
Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler drawer and oven door 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 drawer during broiling.
■Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid 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 avoid curling.
■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 drawer and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2.Place food on the grid in the broiler pan at the desired broiling position and close the drawer.
3.Touch BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
4.Touch START.
The indicator light will light up. The temperature setting can be changed at any time during broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by touching BROIL.
5.Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.
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.
