Setting Surface & Oven Controls
READ THE iNSTRUCTiONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE OVEN, For
satisfactory use of your oven, become familiar with the various functions of the
oven as described below. Note: The Oven indicator light will glow when the oven
is turned on when baking or broiling. A quick glance at this indicator light when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure the oven is turned off.
Please Note: The oven control knob illustrated may not look identical to the knob
on your range.
To Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven Control,
2. Turn the Oven Control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or
broiling most foods.
4. When cooking is finished, turn the Oven Control knob to OFF.
To Broil
1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position the 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 (lower
position).
2. Turn the Oven Control counterclockwise to Broil. Most foods can be broiled at the Broil setting. To sear rare steaks, allow
the element to become red-hot--about 2 minutes--before placing food in the oven.
3. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food on the insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or cover
the insert with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.
4. Place the pan on the oven rack. Leave the door open at the broil stop position while broiling. The door will stay in this
position without closing.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second 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 Oven Control to OFF.
Should an oven fire occur,
close the oven door and turn off the oven.
If the fire continues, throw baking soda on
the fire or use afire extinguisher. DO NOT
put water or fiour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive.
The broiler pan and the insert allows
grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use the
pan without the insert. DO NOTcover the
insert with foil; the exposed grease could
ignite.
