Preheating

After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

Broiling and Custom Broiling

BROILER

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed.

■Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is open.

■Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler door during broiling.

■Do not use broiler drawer for storage.

■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. 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:

1.Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.

2.Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into the lower part of the broiler pan.

3.Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.

4.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

The BROIL indicator light will light up.

5.Press START/ENTER.

The ON and HEAT indicator lights will light up. The temperature setting can be changed at any time during broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing CUSTOM BROIL.

6.Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.

To CUSTOM BROIL:

Changing the temperature while 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. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling temperature can be lowered by pressing the TEMP (▼) pad.

1.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2.Press the TEMP (▲) or (▼) pads to set a temperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C.)

3.Press START/ENTER.

4.Press OFF/CANCEL when finished custom broiling.

BROILING CHART

For best results, broiler pan should be rotated the same time the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.
