Broiling
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated for 20 minutes at 450° before adding the food to be broiled.
Operation
•Set Temperature Control Knob to 450°.
•Turn Function Control Knob to Broil.
•Set Operation Control Knob to the “Oven On” position.
•Preheat the oven .
•Place the wire rack on the broiler pan
•Place the food on the wire rack.
•Place the broil pan on the Top Rack Support Guide or Middle Rack Support Guide depending on the thickness of the food that you are cooking.
•Food should be placed as close as possible to the Top Heating Element without touching it.
•Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.
•Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.
•When broiling is complete, turn the Operation Control Knob to the “OFF” position.
Broiling Guide
Cooking results may vary, adjust these times to your individual requirements. Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.
MEAT | OVEN TEMP | COOKING TIME |
RIB STEAK | 400 | |
400 | ||
HAMBURGER | 400 | |
PORK CHOPS | 400 | |
LAMB CHOPS | 400 | |
CHICKEN LEGS | 400 | |
FISH FILETS | 350 | |
SALMON STEAKS | 350 |
Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer. Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended.
CAUTION: Always use extreme care when removing broiler pan, wire rack or any hot container from a hot oven. Always use an oven mitt when removing hot items from the oven.
Convection Baking
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will fit in your oven are up to 10 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.
Operation
•Place the wire rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.
•Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.
•Turn the Function Control to Bake/Convection.
•Set the Operation Control to the “Oven On” position
•Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.
•When baking is complete, turn Operation Control to the “Off” position.
Positioning of the Wire Rack
Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time). Pies - Use bottom Support Guide.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a cookie sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a cookie sheet might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1.Use parchment paper on cookie sheet so cookies will not stick.
2.Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food up to 30% faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe instructions remembering not to preheat. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended baking time.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
CAUTION: When sliding trays out of oven, always support the rack. Always use an oven mitt when removing hot items from the oven.
