TO BAKE
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired
oven temperature. When the oven is first turned
on, the oven indicator light below the Temperature
Control Knob will glow.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking.
Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking
casseroles or broiling most foods. When the desired
temperature is reached, the oven indicator light will
go out. The light will then go ON and OFF as the
element cycles ON and OFF to maintain the desired
temperature.
4. 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 broiler pan closer to the element
(upper position). For well-done foods such as
chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position
the pan further from the element (to a lower
position). See table below for recommended position.
rack Position
From Top Food
1 Rare steaks.
2 Ham slices, fish, hamburgers and
medium steaks and chops.
3 Well-done foods such as chicken and
lobster.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to BROIL. To sear
rare steaks, allow the element to become red-hot—
(about 2 minutes)—before placing food in oven.
3. Place the grid on broiler pan, and then place the
meat on the grid. DO NOT use 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. Close the oven door
to the Broil Stop position while broiling (door opened
about 2 inches).
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the other 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
Knob to OFF.
