Baking and Roasting

The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Preheating

After START is pressed, the oven will display “PrE” until the temperature is above 170ºF (75ºC). Once 170ºF (75ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. 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.

■For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
