Never cover broiler pan insert with alu- minum foil. This prevents fat from drain- ing to the pan below.

Broiling can be done on the oven rack or remove oven rack and place broiler pan on the oven bottom.

BAKING

To change oven temperature during cooking, press the BAKE pad and the appropriate number pads.

Allow 9-13 minutes for the upper oven to preheat. Allow 7-12 minutes for the lower oven to preheat.

Allow at least 1/2-inch between the baking pan or casserole and the broil burner in the upper oven. Loaf, angel food or bundt pans are not recom- mended in the upper oven.

Do not use temperatures below 140° F to keep food warm or below 200° F for cooking. For food safety reasons, lower temperatures are not recommended.

For additional baking and roasting tips, refer to the ÒCooking Made SimpleÓ booklet.

As oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage oven.
