Oven Control - Bake
and Broil
To Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks'
under Before Setting Oven Controls.
2. Turn the Temperature Control knob counter-clockwise to the desired
temperature.
3. Turn the Selector knob (if equipped) to BAKE.
4. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not
necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods.
5. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature 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-cone foods such
as chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from
the element (lower position).
2. Turn the Temperature Control knob counter-clockwise to Broil and the
Selector Control knob to any position between HI Broil and LO Broil. Most
foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting. Select a lower broil setting to
avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the
well-done stage. To sear rare steaks, allow the element to become red-
hot—about 2 minutes—before placing food in the
oven.
3. Place the grid on the broiler pan, then place the
food on the grid. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the grid or cover the grid 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 Temperature Control and Selector
Control knobs 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 a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Temperature Control Knob
The broiler pan and its grid allow
dripping grease to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid.
DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The
exposed grease could ignite.
