The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C).
To Set the Controls for Baking:
1. Arrange the interior oven racks and place food in the oven.
1. Press the BAKE pad."— — —°" appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, Press the UP or DOWN ARROW pad. The display will show "350°F (177°C)." By holding the UP or DOWN
ARROW pad, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F (1°C if control is set to display Celsius) increments.
3. 8 seconds after the UP or DOWN ARROW pad is released, the oven will begin heating to the selected temperature. When
the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF.

To Change the Oven Temperature after Baking has Started:
Press the UP or DOWN ARROW pad to increase or decrease the set temperature.
Broil
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil
element of the oven. Be sure you center the broiler pan directly under the broil element
for best results.
Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position the rack as needed.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the pan without its insert. DO NOT cover the
insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
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 and water can cause a grease fire to
spread and cause personal injury.
To set for broiling:
1. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food on the insert. DO NOT use the pan without the insert or cover the
insert with aluminum foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
2. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element/burner.
Close the oven door. For optimum browning, preheat broil burner for 3-4 minutes before adding food.
3. Press the BROIL pad. "- -" will appear in the display.
4. Press the UP or DOWN ARROW pad until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Press the UP ARROW pad
for HI broil or the DOWN ARROW pad for LO broil. Most foods may be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil
setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil food on 2nd side.
Note: Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
6. When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move the broiling pan to a different
rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your
