Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

For Best Results:
• Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
• Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking
• Use the broil pan and grid included with your range
• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils
away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering
• Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil
Chart for examples).
• When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such
as Corningware®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high tempera-
ture.
Convection Broil
(some models)
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines
intense heat from the upper element with heat
circulated by a convection fan. The Convection
Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, ten-
der cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection
Broil is typically not recommended for browning
breads, casseroles and other foods.
Always convection broil with the door closed. In
addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster than
standard Broiling.
Note:
The only heat setting for the Convection Broil mode is High.
