Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Turn the Temperature Control knob to the desired oven temperature. When
the oven is first turned on, the oven indicator light at the right of the control
panel will glow.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not
necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods. When the
desired temperature is reached, the oven indicator light will go out. The light
will then go on and off as the element cycles on and off to maintain the
desired temperature.
4. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.
Broiling
1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position the broiler
pan closer to the element (upper position). For well-done foods such as
chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the
element (to a lower position).
2. Turn the Temperature Control knob to BROIL. To sear rare steaks, allow the
element to become red-hot—about 2 minutes—before placing food in oven.
3. Place the grid on the broiler pan, and then place the meat on the grid. DO
NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
The exposed fat could ignite.
4. Place the pan on the oven rack. Leave the door open at the broil stop
position while broiling (down swing door models). The door will stay in this
position without closing. Or leave the door open about 3" while broiling
(side swing door models).
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing food.
6. When broiling is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.
The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven,
be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or
too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a
recipe by using a higher or lower temperature than the recommended temperature.
The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Check to be sure the Temperature control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Pull Temperature control knob straight off the shaft.
3. On the back of the knob, there is a series of 5 small grooves. One of these
grooves is positioned next to a tiny pointer. Note the position of the pointer.
Loosen the two screws on the back of the knob (Figure 1). Note: If knob does
not have 2 screws, it is not adjustable.
4. To increase or decrease the temperature, move the pointer in the direction of
"Raise" or "Lower" to change the temperature accordingly. The temperature
can be adjusted in increments as indicated on the back of the knob.
5. When the desired adjustment is reached, tighten both screws.
6. To replace the knob, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft. Push
the knob into place. DO NOT force the Temperature control knob onto the
shaft or you may damage the back of the knob.
Note: Once an adjustment is made, the OFF position will vary from the reference
mark on the backguard depending on the amount of adjustment.
