OPERATION

TIPS
6.1.1
BAKING
• Use glass and other oven safe
materials.
• Use rack space efficiently.
• When cooking one item, place item
in the middle of the rack.
• Select the correct rack position
before the oven starts heating. Do
not change rack position when
oven is hot.
• Do NOT broil with the door open.
6.1.2
ROASTING
• Seasoning with lemon juice and
black pepper will improve the cook-
ing performance when cooking
a whole chicken, turkey, or large
piece of meat.
• Roasting meat with bones takes
about 15 to 30 minutes longer than
roasting meat with bones removed.
• Estimate 4 to 5 minutes of cooking
time per centimeter height of meat.
• Let roast rest in oven for about 10
minutes after the cooking time, to
allow the juice to reabsorb evenly
throughout the roast.
• Fish should be cooked on the
middle or lower rack positions dur-
ing roasting.
6.1.3
BROILING
Broiling is ideal for cooking meat,
fish, and poultry and will achieve a
nice brown surface without drying
out. Flat pieces, meat skewers,
sausages, and vegetables with high
water content are particularly suited
for broiling.
• Distribute pieces directly on the
wire shelf. Place pan underneath
to catch the drippings. Add water to
the drip pan for easy cleaning.
6.1.5
COOKING VEGETABLES
• Cook vegetables in a pan with a lid
to keep them from running out of
liquid and drying out.
• Boil vegetables before cooking in
the oven to make sure they cook
fully.
5.1.6
RACK POSITIONS
The oven racks can easily be
removed and/or rearranged to fit your
cooking needs. There are four rack
positions, and rack position 1 is the
bottom most rack position. For best
results with conventional baking,
do not use more than one rack at
a time. If the use of two racks is
required during conventional baking,
it is recommended to leave one rack
empty in between the two racks in
use. For optimal broiling coverage,
it is recommended to position the
cooking vessel closest to the oven
door just out of contact with the
glass. Placing the cooking vessel
towards the rear of the oven will
reduce broiling coverage.
