Aluminum Foil; Positioning Racks And Bakeware; Broiling - Whirlpool SF380LEPQ3 Use & Care Manual

To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE ®function.
Press the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pad to set a
temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 10 ° amounts. The
bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and
260°0).
2. Press START or START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does
not need to be pressed again.
3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
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.
• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some
models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid
spatter and smoke. If your model does not have a broiler pan,
one may be ordered. See "Assistance or Service" section to
order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
• 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 avoid curling.
• 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 the 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.

Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before
placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour;
however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the
oven during Warm Hold.
Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving
temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.
To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature:
At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start,
or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not
the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a
1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (77°C).
When the cook time ends or the last step of the sequence is
complete, the display will show a warming countdown time.
When warming ends, the oven will automatically shut off and
"End" will appear on the display. Four tones will sound, and then
four 1-second reminder tones will sound every minute thereafter.
