Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)
Setting the Food Categories Feature:
The MEATS | _ | and BREADS _ | pads in the Food Categories feature are used when |
cooking certain food items. These pads have been designed to give optimum cook performance for the foods selected in each category.
The MEATS pad combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is not necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.
The CAKES pad provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods to cook more evenly.
The BREADS pad adds a preheat feature to the bake cycle to thoroughly heat the oven from top to bottom to give more evenly browned foods. Refer to (Figure 4) for foods to cook in each category.

Roasting instructions for Meats Pad:
When using the Meats pad for roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent grease spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging Oven Racks in this Use & Care Guide.
2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover the insert with aluminum foil.
