General Broiling Tips
1. The surface of the food should be at least 3” (7.4 cm)
away from the broil element.
2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly, at 2” (5 cm)
intervals, around the outside edges of meat to prevent
curling.
3. Meats and poultry can be marinated before broiling.
Brush foods with barbecue sauce only during the last 5
to 10 minutes of broiling.
4. Place food on a cold pan to prevent sticking. If the rack
is hot, grease it or grease the food.
Convection Roasting Rack
(On Convection Models)
The Convection Roasting Rack is a specially designed
rack, ideal for use when roasting and broiling meats using
the Convection Bake and Convection Broil functions.
Place it in the broiler pan instead of the regular grid. It
raises the meat for better airflow to all sides for more even
roasting and broiling.
Air Circulation
The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in
better baking.
For best air circulation:
• Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
• For best results, allow 1-1/2” to 2” (3.7-5 cm) of space
around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
There must be a minimum space of 1” (2.6 cm).
• When baking with one pan, place pan in the center of
the oven rack.
• When baking with two pans, place pans in opposite
corners of the oven rack.
NOTE: Opening the oven door will cause heat loss,
longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or
roasting results. Rely on your timer.
Oven Rack Positions
Your oven has five rack positions. Rack position 1 is the
lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven. Rack
position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the
bottom of the oven.
There are three straight racks. Be sure to position the oven
rack(s) before putting food into the oven or turning the
oven on.
To remove oven racks:
Lift rack at front and pull out.
To replace oven racks:
1. Place rear of rack on rack guides.
2. While lifting front of rack, push in all the way. Lower
front.
