Setting Side Oven Controls

To 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 below the Temperature
Control Knob 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.
To Broil
1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position 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 broiler pan, and then place the meat on the grid. DO NOT
use 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. Close the oven door to the Broil Stop
position while broiling (door opened about 2 inches).
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the other 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.
