2.Push in and turn Oven Temp knob to desired temperature. Allow
3.Place food in center of oven, allowing a minimum of two inches between utensil and oven walls.
4.Check food for doneness at minimum time in recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
5.Remove food from the oven and turn the Oven Temp knob to OFF.
Note: For additional baking and roasting tips, see ÒCooking Made SimpleÓ booklet.
Broiling
For best results, use a broiling pan. For additional broiling tips, refer to the “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
Setting the Knob Control for Broiling (lower compartment - select models):
1.Place the broiler pan in the recommended broiling com- partment position shown in the chart below.
2.Turn Oven Temp knob to Broil or, for lower temperature broiling, to 450°F.
¥ Lower temperature broiling avoids excessive browning of longer cooking foods such as poultry.
3.Follow the suggested times in the broiling
chart below. Meat should be turned once about halfway through its cooking time.
4.Check the doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the center to check the color.
5.After broiling, turn the Oven Temp knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the broiler compartment.
