5. When the preheat cycle is complete, insert food. “Insert food
for one rack baking” or “Insert food for multirack baking” will
appear in the selected oven text area.
“Bake” will scroll in the selected oven text area until CANCEL
for the selected oven is pressed.
6. Place food in the oven when the preheat tone sounds.
7. Press UPPER or LOWER CANCEL when finished.
8. Remove food from the oven.
NOTE: If a Set Cooking Time is to be used when only one
oven is used, increase the cook time by 10 minutes. If a Set
Cooking Time is to be used when both ovens are used or
multi-rack bake in the lower oven, increase the cook time by
15 minutes. When the Set Cooking Time expires, the oven(s)
will turn off.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
■ Select HI/550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select
LO/450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such as poultry to avoid overbrowning.
■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center
of the oven rack. Close the door to the broil stop position (about
4" [10.0 cm]) to ensure proper broiling temperature.
To Broil Using Hi/Low Temperature Settings:
1. For upper oven, preheat oven 5 minutes before placing food
in the oven. For lower oven, preheat is not necessary before
placing food in the oven.
2. Position oven door to broil stop position.
3. Press UPPER or LOWER BROIL.
“BROIL” will scroll in the selected oven text area, and “HI” will
be displayed.
After 3 seconds, “Set temp or” will scroll in the upper text
area, followed by “Push START.”
4. Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to adjust
the broil temperature setting to HI or LO.
5. Press START.
“Broiling” scrolls in the upper text area and remains there.
“BROIL” scrolls in the selected oven text area once the set
temperature is reached and remains there until CANCEL for
the selected oven is pressed.
NOTE: The broil temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow pads until the
desired temperature is displayed and then pressing START.
Changing the temperature once food is placed in the oven
could affect performance.
6. Press UPPER or LOWER CANCEL when finished.
7. Remove food from the oven.
BROILING CHART
It is not necessary to preheat the lower oven when broiling. The upper oven should be preheated for 5 minutes. Times are guidelines
only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Turn meat halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack positions are
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
*When broiling fish, spray broil pan with cooking oil. Do not turn fish filets.
