How to Select Cooking Methods

for "Main and Lower" Ovens

Standard Cooking

To bake, turn the oven control to any desired temperature between 150°F to 500°F (66°C - 290°C).
When baking is selected, the indicator below this symbol lights up, and the bake element will
activate. Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it, approximately 5-10 minutes. After the oven has
reached the temperature you have selected, the bake element will cycle on and off to maintain
temperatures. Do not rotate control past 500°F (290°C) for bake as this is the broil position and
only top element will come on.
Standard Cooking / Baking
This is the traditional "radiant heat" style of
cooking. You may choose this method of cooking
for your tried and true recipes. As with all radiant
style ovens, it will be necessary to preheat the
oven, especially for baked goods. Usually your
recipe will state whether or not preheating is
required. When roasting meats from frozen to
finish, usually preheating is not required. However
allow 1/3 to 1/2 more cooking time depending on
the size of the cut. To assure desired degree of
doneness, use a meat thermometer for meats
and poultry.

Standard Broiling

To activate broil (top element), turn oven control to
broil symbol " " on the knob. When broiling is
selected, the indicator under this symbol lights up.
At this setting the broil element comes on and
stays on. To de-select broiling, turn the oven control knob to a temperature setting, which resets
the control to baking mode. When broiling, the oven door should be completely closed, and the
grease filter installed.
Standard Broiling
This method of cooking is used to transfer high heat over a short period of time to food placed in
close proximity to the broiler element. Usually used to brown the surface of food, such as
meringues, steaks and roasts.
Place meat on the broiler pan (add water to the bottom of the pan to reduce smoking). Place the
broiler pan on the third or fourth rack in the main oven, and first or second rack in the lower oven,
depending on the food and your personal tastes.
