Rack Positions

Before turning on the oven, place the rack in the desired position. After preheating the broiler, center the broil pan under the broil element.

•#5 - Use this rack position when broiling beef steaks, ground meat patties, ham steak and lamb chops 1 inch or less in thickness. Also, use when top browning foods.

•#4 - Use this rack position when broiling meat 1-1/8 inches or more in thickness, fish, poultry, pork chops, ham steaks 1 inch or more in thickness.

•#3 - Use this rack when broiling chicken quarters or halves.

Utensils

•The porcelain enamel two-piece broil pan is included with the range. DO NOT cover the slotted grid (top) with aluminum foil.

•Use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware when top browning casseroles, main dishes, or bread.

•DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery. This type of glassware cannot with- stand the intense heat of the broil element.

Broiling Using a Regular Meat Thermometer

Note:

For accurately determining the degree of doneness for a thick steak or chop (at least 1-1/2 inches thick), use a regular meat thermometer. Insert the point of the thermometer into the side of the meat to the center of the steak or chop.

For rare steaks, cook the first side to 90°F. For medium or well done steaks, cook the first side to 100°F. Turn and cook the second side to desired internal tempera- ture.

Secondary Oven (48")

Foods may be broiled on racks #3, 4 or 5 depending upon the type and thickness of the food. Rack #5 may be used for top browning of foods.

It is impossible to use the bake and broiler elements simultaneously. When one is on, the other one cannot be turned on.

Setting Broil or Convection Broil

Broil - Electric Oven

To Set the Oven to Broil or Convection Broil

1.Place oven rack in desired position.

2.Set Selector Switch to BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL.

3.Set Oven Control Knob to BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL setting.

4.Wait until PRE HEATING light turns off, after approximately three (3) minutes.
