Preheating
After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed
preheat conditioning. PrE and the time countdown will appear
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the
display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling and Custom Broiling
BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is
open.
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
door during broiling.
Do not use broiler drawer for storage.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
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.
To Broil:
1.
Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.
2.
Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into
the lower part of the broiler pan.
3.
Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler
rack and close the broiler door.
4.
Press CUSTOM BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
5.
Press START/ENTER.
The ON and HEAT indicator lights will light up. The
temperature setting can be changed at any time during
broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set
broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by
pressing CUSTOM BROIL.
6.
Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.
To CUSTOM BROIL:
Changing the temperature while 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. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling
temperature can be lowered by pressing the TEMP (
) pad.
1.
Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2.
Press the TEMP (
) or (
) pads to set a temperature between
300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C.)
3.
Press START/ENTER.
4.
Press OFF/CANCEL when finished custom broiling.
