Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for
meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly.)
Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off
automatically y.
1.
Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
2. Check the weight of the
meat. Place it, fat side up,
(or for poultry, breast-
side-up) on a roasting
grid in a shallow pan. The ~
melting fat will baste the
meat. Select a pan as
close to the size of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)
3. Press the BAKE pad.

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

ROASTING
I
~=>/
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10"F.;
to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10"F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad. The last oven set temperature
appears in the display. Continue
+
pressing until the desired temperature
is displayed.
The word "ON" and "100°" will
be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing
temperature. When the oven
reaches the temperature you set,
a tone will sound.
5. Press the CLEAIVOFF pad when
roasting is finished.
