To Operate the Oven Control
For satisfactory use of your oven, become familiar with the various functions of the oven as described below. Note: The Oven
or Thermostat indicator light will glow when the oven is turned on when baking or broiling. A quick glance at this indicator light
when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure the oven is turned off.
To Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Control.
2. Turn the Oven Control knob to the desired temperature.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or
broiling most foods.
4. When cooking is finished, turn the Oven Control knob to OFF.
To Broil
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 (lower
position).
2. Turn the Oven Control to Broil. Most foods can be broiled at the Broil setting. To sear rare steaks, allow the element to
become red-hot—about 2 minutes—before placing food in the oven.
3. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food on the insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover
the insert 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. The door will stay in this
position without closing.
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 Oven Control to OFF.
The oven control knob shown above may not
look identical to the knob on your range.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

The broiler pan and the insert allows grease
to drain and be kept away from the high heat
of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without
the insert. DO NOT cover the insert with foil;
the exposed grease could ignite.
