To Operate the Oven Control
For satisfactory use of your oven, become familiar with the various functions of the oven as described below. Note: The Oven
or Thermostat 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.
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 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 oven rack
positions). For well-done foods such as chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element
(lower oven rack positions).
2. Turn the Oven Control 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 (if equipped), 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.
The broiler pan and the insert (if equipped)
allows grease to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT
use the pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover the insert with foil; the exposed grease
could ignite.
Setting Surface & Oven Controls
Should an oven fire occur,
close the oven door and turn the oven
OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour
on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
To insure proper results
when broiling use ONLY Electrolux Home
Products, Inc. approved Broil Pan &
Insert.
