Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Leave the desired
oven door open 4½" (114 mm) at the broil stop position to ensure
proper broiling temperature. Position food on grid in a broiler pan,
and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food
in the upper or lower oven. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain
the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.
Lower Oven Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section before starting convection cooking.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature or for a shorter length of time.
Toasting - Upper Oven Only
(on some models)
For toasting bread and products that are toasted in a toaster or
toaster oven.
■ Lower oven cannot be operated while upper oven is toasting. If
the lower oven is operating when Toast is pressed, a beep will
sound.
■ Toasting is based on time, not temperature.
■ Frozen foods should not be toasted in the oven.
■ Toasting times will be shorter when the oven is hot or when
repeated toasting functions are done.
For optimal results when toasting up to 9 pieces of bread or other
similar items, see the following illustration.
