Oven Temp Knob
The Oven Temp Knob is used to

then back.
Setting the Control for Baking and Roasting:
1. Push in and turn Oven Temp knob to desired temperature.
Allow 10-15 minutes for preheating.
2. Place food in the center of oven. Check food for doneness
at minimum time in recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
3. Remove food from oven and turn Oven Temp knob to OFF.
Note: For additional baking, roasting and broiling tips, see
"Cooking Made Simple" booklet.
Setting the Control for Broiling:
1. For best results, use a broiling pan. Place the broiler pan on
recommended rack position (see chart on page 8).
2. Turn Oven Temp knob to BROIL or, for lower temperature
broiling, to 450° F.
• Lower temperature broiling avoids excessive browning of
longer cooking foods such as poultry.
3. Follow the suggested times in the broil chart on page 8. Meat
should be turned once about halfway through cooking time.
4. Check the doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the
center to check the color.
5. After broiling, turn the Oven Temp knob to OFF. Remove the
broiler pan from the oven.
