Bakingand Roasting

The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating
casseroles.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil and
bake elements will turn off immediately. They will come back on
once the door is closed.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food.
Changing the broil setting allows more precise control when
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. See
the following Broil Settings chart.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
■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 Settings
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.

Timer or Temperature” section.
