Choice Bake™ Function; Broiling - Whirlpool SF195LEK Use And Care Manual

CHOICE BAKE™ Function
The CHOICE BAKE™ function eliminates the top heat during
oven cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads,
and for roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times
such as poultry and roasts.
Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake elements or
burners cycle on and off at intervals during CHOICE BAKE™
function. However, the cycle duration for the broil element is
much shorter during CHOICE BAKE™ cycle, allowing less top
browning of foods and more customized control for your baking
results.
To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE™ function.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a
temperature other that 350°F (175°C) in five degree amounts.
The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (80°C
and 260°C).
2. Press START.
The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does
not need to be pressed again.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To use the CHOICE BAKE™ function during a regular BAKE cycle
to achieve less top browning, press CHOICE BAKE™ control, set
the desired temperature and press START.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when 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.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. 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.
12
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.
