Timed Cooking
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
To Set a Cook Time:
1.Press an oven function.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
2.Press COOK TIME.
3.Press the HR and MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display.
4.Press START.
The display will count down the time in hours and minutes if the cook time is more than 1 hour, and in minutes and seconds if the cook time is less than 1 hour.
When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the oven display.
If on,
5.Press OFF.
You can do this step at any time to cancel timed cooking.

Broil
The top element operates at full power when heating.
Use this setting for normal broiling and top browning with the door open in the Broil Stop position.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent 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 prevent 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.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Leave the door partly open when you use the oven to broil. This allows the oven to stay at the proper temperature.
1.Press BROIL.
2.Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the oven is turned off.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
To Vari Broil:
Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
1.Press BROIL.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 300°F (150°C) and 525°F (275°C).
2.Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are
