Bake
The BAKE function is ideal for baking, roasting or heating
casseroles.
During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle
on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil
element will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn
off in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. They will come back on once the
door is closed.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position 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.
1. Press BAKE once for 325°F (163°C), or press the number
pads to enter a temperature. Each subsequent press of BAKE
will increase the temperature by 25 degrees.
2. Press START.
“Lo°” will appear on the display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
“Preheating” will show on the oven display after a
temperature of 170°F (77°C) has been reached. The
temperature will be shown on the display until reaching the
set point.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
Broil
(Maxi/Econo on somemodels)
■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent 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 prevent curling.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. 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.
■ If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element
will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is
closed.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Use MAXI/ECONO
(on some models) for broiling regular-sized and smaller cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. Broil MAXI uses both top elements for
maximum browning coverage of foods. Broil ECONO uses the
inner element for browning coverage of a smaller area.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to
ensure proper broiling operation.
To Broil:
1. Press one of the two broil functions.
Choose Maxi Broil when broiling larger amounts of food with
both broil elements. Choose Econo Broil when broiling
smaller amounts of food with only the inner broil element.
2. Press START.
3. Press OFF when finished.
Variable Temperature Broiling
Changing the temperature when Variable Temperature 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.
To Use:
1. Press one of the two broil functions.
2. Press the number pads to set a temperature between 300°F
and 500°F (149°C to 260°C).
3. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step by entering a
new temperature using the number pads and pressing
START. If START is not pressed within 5 seconds “START?”
will appear on the display. If START is not pressed within
10 seconds, the temperature will return to the previous
temperature entered.
4. Press OFF when finished.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
