Remove food from oven when cooking time has elapsed. Food left in oven can overcook.

Preheating

In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. After the range control is set, the oven temperature will begin to rise until the desired cooking temperature is reached. When cooking temperature is reached oven signal beeps for approximately 1 second. For delicate baking, preheat approximately 15–20 minutes before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal beeps before placing food in oven. The extra time creates a more stable oven temperature.

Broiling

Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using a special reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on the food; searing in natural juices and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.

Center food on broiling grid and pan and place on rack in oven. Oven door can be shut or open to the first

stop. Broiling does not require preheating.

How High or Low Can I Set the Temperature?

Oven temperature can be set from 170°F to 550°F in 5° increments. Temperature starts at 100°F and increases in 5° increments until reaching the set temperature. Some minor smoking is normal when using oven for first few times.
