Setting Oven Controls
Setting the Warm & Hold™ Feature
The Warm & Hold feature will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F, and will keep oven baked foods warm for serving for 3
hours after cooking has finished. The Warm & Hold feature may be used without any other cooking operations or can be used
after cooking has finished.
To set Warm & Hold
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Turn both the selector and the temperature control knobs to Warm Hold position.
3. To turn the Warm & Hold OFF at any time, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position.

Setting Broil

When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at
550°F; however, the Broil feature temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F. This appliance includes a Searing Grill
for searing meats (Figure 3). The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Figure 1). DO NOT cover the broil
pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause
a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
To set the oven to broil
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan (Figure 1). Then place the food on the
broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the
broiler insert with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to
center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door is
in the broil stop position (See Figure 2).
3. Turn both the selector and the temperature control knobs to the Broil position.
4. If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum allowed broil temperature is 400°F),
turn the temperature control knob to the temperature desired.
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.
7. To cancel broiling or if finished broiling, turn the selector and the temperature control
knobs to Off position.
Broiling Times and Searing Grill
Use the following table for approximate broiling times. Increase or decrease broiling times, or
move the broiling pan to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling
is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item
closely. Use the Searing Grill for meats and steaks if desired. Place Searing Grill on top of Broiler
Pan and Insert before placing the meat. Be sure to pre-heat the Searing Grill using Broil for 10
minutes. Cook times should be reduced 1-2 minutes per side when cooking with the Searing Grill
for meats and steaks (See Figure 3).
NOTE: When in broiling mode, the high speed cooling fan will be in operation and may continue
for some minutes after broiling is finished.
