Preheating and Pan Placement

Safety

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

On some models, the display will show “PRE” while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ from the front

of the pan to the front of the rack.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling (on models without an oven temperature knob)

Instructions Care and

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in a broiler pan.

Follow suggested rack positions

in the Broiling Guide.

If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.

Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-browning them.

Touch the START/ON pad.

When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Cleaning

Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil.

To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again.
