Broiling
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure
proper broiling temperature. 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.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when 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.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain
the proper temperature.
■
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.
Convection Baking and Roasting
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a
temperature 25°F (15°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
cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while
the fan circulates the hot air.
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.
Timed Cooking
(on some models)
To Set a Timed Cook:
1. Press BAKE. The bake indicator light will light up.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter a
temperature other than the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light
up.
4. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter the length of
time to cook.
5. Press START. The display will count down the time. When the
time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will
appear on the display.
6. Press CANCEL to clear the display.
To Set a Delayed Timed Cook:
Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.
See the “Clock” keypad feature in the “Feature Guide” section.
1. Press BAKE.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter a
temperature other than the one displayed.
3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light
up.
4. Press TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter the length of time
to cook.
5. Press DELAY START. The delay oven indicator light will light up.
6. Press TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter the time of day to
start.
7. Press START.
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn
on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed
anytime after pressing Start by repeating steps 1-7. When the
set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically and
“End” will appear on the display.
8. Press CANCEL to clear the display.
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.
