Instructions for Seasoning the Griddle Plate 1. Use a paper towel to apply a thin, even coating of lard, Crisco®, or olive oil to the griddle surface. If the griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over time, the following instructions should help regain the griddle’s non-stick properties. For optimal performance and long life of your griddle plate, follow these simple cleaning and seasoning instructions.
Using the Electric Grill (available on some models) Description The built-in grill is made of restaurant-quality cast iron grates. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean. A non-stick cast iron griddle plate (PAGRIDDLEN) is available as an accessory and may be purchased separately. See the instructions that come with the griddle plate accessory for more details. Assembling the Grill 1.
IMPORTANT: • • • • • • If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and remove the food. Use caution to avoid any potential injury while removing food. Often, such flames will extinguish themselves within a few minutes once grease drippings have burned up. DO NOT leave the grill unattended until all flames are extinguished. If desired, flames can be extinguished by generously shaking baking soda or salt over them to smother fire.
Grill Cooking Recommendations IMPORTANT: • • GRILL SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION. Foods with excessive fat or grease should not be prepared on an indoor grill. Grilling foods with high fat content (certain types of ground beef, sausage, etc) increases the chances of smoke and flames.

Using the Oven Oven Operation Rack Positions for Oven • • • • Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an elevator. Number one level is the lowest. Use the rack position recommended by the recipe. Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe. Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan without food, affects the browning and cooking. The type of pan used affects the browning: • For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
NOTE: Oven Setting Controls • • COOK TIMER cannot be used if a temperature probe is in use. The maximum timer setting is 12 hours. Setting the Ovens 1. Place rack in desired rack position and shut the door. 2. Set the Mode Selector Ring to BAKE, for example. 1 2 2 3 VE NL IGH Mode Selector Ring T 1. ENTER verifies a selection 2. (-) decreases and (+) increases time and/or temperatures, it is also used to scroll through menu items. 3. CANCEL clears all oven operations.
• Meat Probe The meat probe allows you more control over how your foods are cooked by automatically disabling the specified cooking mode when a dish's desired temperature, defined by the cook, has been reached. The probe expresses the current temperature of the meat as it cooks. Programming the meat probe 1. Locate the outlet in the oven (Figure 26).
Fine Tuning the Oven The OFFSET feature allows the cook to further fine-tune their cooking parameters to their own personal optimal settings by allowing them to adjust the temperature offset of the oven by +/-25°F (14°C) in increments of 5°F. For example, if the cook judges the oven temperature as too hot and wants to lower it by 5°F, press the “–” button. To increase the temperature by 5°F, press the “+”.
Convection Baking Cooking with Convection There are many advantages to cooking with convection. In the convection system, a fan in the back of the oven moves heated air evenly around the oven. The moving air provides even heat so foods can be placed on any rack level with consistent results. Multiple racks of foods can be cooked or large quantities of foods can be cooked at the same time. Foods will cook thoroughly without having to rotate pans.
Condensation It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel. Convection Bake Rack Positions See Figure 22 on page 38 for rack positions. One Rack Convection Baking Three Rack Convection Baking Levels #1, #3, & #5 -- When several sheets of cookies are to be baked.
Dehydrating Foods with Convection Bake Use the Convection Bake to dry and preserve fruits and vegetables. Tips: • Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. • Dry most fruits and vegetables at 150°F. • Check food at the minimum drying time. • It is best to use drying racks (not included) so that air can flow around the food. Do not place food directly on a baking sheet or pan.

Other Uses Of Bake Broil and Convection Broil Slow Cooking And Low Temperature Uses Of The Oven Tips for Broil In addition to providing perfect temperatures for baking and roasting, the oven can be used at low temperatures to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature and to warm plates. It is recommended that you preheat the broil element before starting to cook. Preheat for 3 minutes then place food in oven. For best results, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For rare steaks, cook the first side to 90°F (32°C). For medium or well done steaks, cook the first side to 100°F (38°C). Turn and cook the second side to desired internal temperature. NOTE: It is not possible to use the BAKE mode and BROIL mode simultaneously. When one mode is on, the other mode cannot be turned on. Setting Broil or Convection Broil Only the upper element heats in the BROIL mode. Successful broiling requires constant exposure to high, intense heat. 1. Place oven rack in desired position.
