Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive
Important note:
• Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool.
• For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along
with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the
fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid
splatter.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
• Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven
racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook function cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures for longer periods of time. The Slow Cook
feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork, and poultry. Slow
cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming
dark but will not burn outside as it seals in the meat's juices.
Two Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The
high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours.
The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3.
• Position racks to accommodate the size of various cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type
cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook
times will vary, depending upon weight, fat content, bone,
and the shape of the roast.
• Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a
food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the
Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
