juices and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.

Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the
oven before baking. After the range
control is set, the oven temperature will
begin to rise until the desired cooking
temperature is reached. When cooking
temperature is reached oven signal
beeps for approximately 1 second. For
delicate baking, preheat approximately
15–20 minutes before placing food
inside oven or wait 10 minutes after
oven signal beeps before placing food
in oven. The extra time creates a more
stable oven temperature.
How High or Low Can I
Set the Temperature?
For baking, oven temperature can be set
from 170°F to 550°F in 5° increments.
Temperature starts at 100°F and
increases in 5° increments until
reaching the set temperature. Some
minor smoking is normal when using
oven for first few times.
Broiling Hints
WARNING
!
Never leave oven unattended while
broiling. Overcooking may result in
a fire.
Remove excess fat from meat
before broiling. Cut edges of
meat to prevent curling.
Place food on a cold ungreased
broiling pan. If pan is hot, food
sticks.
All food except fish should be
turned at least one time. Begin
broiling with skin side down.
Season meat after it has
browned.
Broiling does not require
preheating.
Begin cooking using suggested
rack levels in
Broiling
section to
test broiler results. If food is not
brown enough, cook on a higher
rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack
position.
