SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Fig. 3

NOTE
Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before
turning or removing the food.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
IMPORTANT
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 - Fig. 3). 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 knob to broil (See Figs 1 & 2).
Most foods can be broiled at the broil setting. Preheat
the oven if desired.
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 (Fig. 4). The exposed fat could ignite.
4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack. Leave the
oven door open at the broil stop position when
broiling (See Fig. 5).
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil
on the second side. Season and serve.
6. When broiling is finished, turn the oven temp control
knob to OFF.
Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See
“Arranging oven racks” in Before Setting Oven
Controls section.
2. Turn the oven temp control knob (See Fig. 1) to the
desired oven temperature (See Fig. 2).
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 temp control
knob to OFF.
• The broiler pan and the insert (some models) 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 aluminum foil; the exposed
grease could ignite.
CAUTION
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.
