Broiling and Custom Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some models). It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

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.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. 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.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

Timed Cooking

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to cook in 2 different ways. The oven can be set to start cooking immediately and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time. Or, the oven can be set to start at a later time, cook for a specified length of time and shut off automatically at the end of the cooking time.

Foods that require a preheated oven should not be cooked using a delayed function.

Style 1 - Electronic Oven Control (see “Electronic Oven Controls” section

To Set a Timed Cook:

1.Press BAKE (optional).

2.Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter a temperature other than the one displayed.

3.Press STOP TIME.

4.Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter the desired time to end cooking.

5.Press START. The display will count down the time.

When the time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the display. End-of-cycle tones will sound; then, if enabled, reminder tones will sound every minute.

6.Open and close the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
