User's Manual

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
On some models, the display will show “PRE”
while preheating. When the oven reaches the
selected temperature, the oven control will beep
and the display will show the oven temperature.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. If you need to use two
racks, stagger the pans so one is
not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1
1
ø2s from the front
of the pan to the front of the rack.
On models without an oven temperature knob:
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in
a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by itself, yet
the proper temperature is maintained in
the oven.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or
thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-
browning them.
Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for
HI BROIL.
To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL
HI/LO pad again.
Touch the START/ON pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
On models with an oven temperature knob:
Place the meat or fish on a broiler grid in
a broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
Close the oven door.
Turn the Oven Temperature Knob to
BROIL.
When broiling is finished, turn the Oven
Temperature Knob to OFF.

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and
upset the performance of the oven. Foil
can melt and permanently damage the
oven bottom. Damage from improper use of
aluminum foil is not covered by the product
warranty
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches
below the food .Do not use more foil than
necessary and never entirely cover an oven
rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least
1-1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat
circulation.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Using the oven.
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give
the same results as with a higher fat
product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries,
cookies or candies are made with low fat
spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these differences
become.
Federal standards require products labeled
“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old favorite recipes, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
If your range is connected
to 208 volts, rare steaks
may be broiled by preheating
the broiler and positioning
the oven rack one position
higher.
