Oven Control - Bake and Broil

Temperature Control Knob

Selector Knob

The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.

To Bake

1.Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks' under Before Setting Oven Controls.

2.Turn the Temperature Control knob counter-clockwise to the desired temperature.

3.Turn the Selector knob (if equipped) to BAKE.

4.Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods.

5.When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.

To Broil

1.Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position the broiler pan closer to the element (upper position). For well-cone foods such as chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element (lower position).

2.Turn the Temperature Control knob counter-clockwise to Broil and the Selector Control knob to any position between HI Broil and LO Broil. Most foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting. Select a lower broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage. To sear rare steaks, allow the element to become red- hot—about 2 minutes—before placing food in the

oven.

3.Place the grid on the broiler pan, then place the food on the grid. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.

4. Place the pan on the oven rack. Leave the door open at the broil stop position while broiling. The door will stay in this position without closing.

5.Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Note:

Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

6.When broiling is finished, turn the Temperature Control and Selector Control knobs to OFF.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
