Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by
itself, yet the proper temperature is
maintained in the oven.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature.
On some models, the control will beep when the
oven is preheated and the display will show your
set temperature. This will take approximately
10–15 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold
the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just
like the grid.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid
in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested shelf positions in the
Broiling Guide.
If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may
be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the
oven shelf one position higher.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or
thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-
browning them.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI Broil.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL
HI/LO pad again.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans
should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the
pans so one is not directly above the other, and
" between pans, from
leave approximately 1 1 ⁄
2
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result
in poor baking.
On models with an oven control knob, turn the
knob to BROIL.
On some models, you must push the knob in
before turning.
When broiling is finished, turn the knob to OFF.
