COOKING MODES
Br_oil
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook
food from above. The Even-Heat™ system
will distribute power to all three top heating
elements to deliver two levels of efficient
broiling. The bottom elements will not
be on.
Convection mode can be used with thin cuts
of fish, eliminating the need for flipping.
Br_oil mode tips
• For best results, use the 12" (30 cm)
multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter
and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the
rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of
the multipurpose pan may be lined with
aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
• Foods cooked under the broiler will burn
very quickly if not monitored near the end
of their cooking times.
Keep War_m
In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat™
system distributes power to the top
and bottom elements to keep food
warm before serving.
Keep War_m Tips
• The preset temperature is 170°F (77°C),
but you may wish to adjust this depending
on the item being warmed.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving
temperature before it is placed in the
oven to keep warm.
Reheat
The Even-Heat™ system distributes power
to the top and bottom elements to bring
food to serving temperature. (The top
center element is off.)
Reheat mode tips
• The preset suggested temperature is
300°F (149°C), but you may need to
adjust this depending on the item being
reheated.
• Reheating too long may over-cook or dry
out food.
• Pull oven rack out before turning
or removing food. 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.
• After broiling, remove the pan and food
from the oven. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making
cleaning more difficult.
