Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
■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 “Accessories” section for more information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
ConvectionBakingandRoasting
In a convection oven, the
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a temperature 25°F (14°C) lower than in a standard thermal oven, and cooking time can be shortened by up to 30%.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air. The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the cycle.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.
