Baking and Roasting
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place
food or cookware on the oven door or oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Press BAKE.
Press TEMP/TIME or TEMP/HOUR “up” or “down” arrow
pads to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C) in 5°F
(3°C) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F
and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2. Press START or START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed at any time after this step
by pressing the Temp/Time or Temp/Hour “up” or “down”
arrow pads. Start does not need to be pressed again. If
baking/roasting while the Timer is counting down, the set
baking/roasting temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds
by pressing Bake.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or CANCEL/OFF when finished.
Preheating
After Start is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat cycle.
The bake indicator light will light up. The Electronic Oven Control
automatically selects the preheat cycle time based on the oven
temperature selected. The cycle time will not change if the
temperature is reset before the cycle countdown ends. Preheat is
complete and the oven is ready to use when a 1-second tone
sounds, the cycle countdown ends, and the set temperature is
displayed.
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 10 minutes after the preheat 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.
IMPORTANT: When the oven is baking, the burner in the broiler
drawer will be on. Do not store anything in the broiler drawer.
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 drawer
and oven door closed.
■
To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
■
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
drawer during broiling.
■
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices
and help avoid 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 avoid 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.
■
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 drawer and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place food on the grid in the broiler pan at the desired broiling
position and close the drawer.
3. Touch BROIL.
The Broil indicator light will light up.
4. Touch START.
The indicator light 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 touching Broil.
5. Touch OFF/CANCEL or CANCEL/OFF when finished broiling.
Positioning Broiler Pan
For models with a broiler drawer:
1. Make sure the oven is off and cool.
2. Hold each side of the broiler pan and set it at the desired
position on top of the supports at each corner. Depending on
the position desired, it may be necessary to tilt the broiler
pan.
3. To remove the broiler pan, tilt the broiler pan and lift it out
from between the supports.
BROILING CHART
For best results, broiler pan should be rotated at the same time
the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be
adjusted for individual foods and tastes.
