OVEN USE

Baking and Roasting

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:
1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING
lights will turn on and the set temperature will appear in the
display for 5 seconds.
On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the
oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature
setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn
off once the oven is preheated.
2. Place food in oven.
The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep
the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator
light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.
3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.
On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator
light will turn off.

Broiling

DROP DOWN BROILER (on some models)
The broiler is located below the oven door. Always broil with the
broiler and oven doors closed.
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.
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. You
should rotate the broiler pan back to the front at the same
time you turn the foods.
Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door when it is
open. This could damage the door.
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.
Before broiling, position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place
it in on the broiler bottom (see the following graphic for broiler
pan positions). It is not necessary to preheat the broiler before
putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Close the
broiler door.
To Broil:
1. Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.
2. After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.
