OVEN USE
Baking and Roasting
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1.Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING lights will turn on and the set temperature will appear in the display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn off once the oven is preheated.
2.Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
3.Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn off.
Broiling
DROP DOWN BROILER (on some models)
The broiler is located below the oven door. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed.
■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.
■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. You should rotate the broiler pan back to the front at the same time you turn the foods.
■Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door when it is open. This could damage the door.
■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.
Before broiling, position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in on the broiler bottom (see the following graphic for broiler pan positions). It is not necessary to preheat the broiler before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Close the broiler door.
