Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering vent will 
cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. 
Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn 
near the oven vent.
The element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the 
cookware does not extend more than 

¹⁄₂

" (1.3 cm) over the element.

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 Heating light will turn on and 
remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature.

2. Place food in oven. The bake element will turn on and off to 

maintain cooking temperature. The Oven Heating light will turn 
on and off with the element.

3. Turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.

Broiling (Closed Door)

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 “Accessories” section for more information.

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. 

To Broil (Closed Door):

1. Position cookware in oven and close the oven door.
2. Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL HI or turn to 

BROIL LOW to broil at a lower temperature.

3. After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.
