2. Set the temperature (optional).
Press TEMP/TIME "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a
temperature other than 350°F in 5° amounts. The bake range
can be set between 170°F and 50O°E
When the oven temperature is greater than 17O°F,no preheat
conditioning time will be shown in the display.
The preheat conditioning time will not change if the
temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.
if baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting
down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by
pressing BAKE.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven control automatically sets preheating times based
on the oven temperature selected.
The temperature can be changed after this step. START/
ENTER does not need to be pressed again.

Preheating
After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed
preheat conditioning. "PrE" and the time countdown will appear
on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone
will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the
display.
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder,
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent cuding.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position 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 from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling chart. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.
