It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Close the door.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
2. Press BROIL.
Once for maxi, twice for econo.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (77°C and 260°C).
3. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display
until the oven is turned off.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL for the respective oven when finished
cooking.
BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil
elements, rack position 4 is recommended. For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
A temperature of 500°F (260°C) is recommended.
Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for
individual foods and tastes.
Convection Cooking
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C), and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so
that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air,
allowing browning and crisping.
■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only
when necessary.
■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with a method such as using a
toothpick.
■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe (on some
models) to determine the doneness of meats and poultry.
Convection Bake
(on some models)
A. Convection element (hidden) and fan
The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to
stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If
the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
