Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the
oven before baking. After the range
control is set, the oven temperature will
begin to rise until the desired cooking
temperature is reached. When cooking
temperature is reached oven signal
beeps for approximately 1 second. For
delicate baking, preheat approximately
15–20 minutes before placing food
inside oven or wait 10 minutes after
oven signal beeps before placing food in
oven. The extra time creates a more
stable oven temperature.
How High or Low Can I
Set the Temperature?
Oven temperature can be set from 170°F
to 550°F in 5° increments. Temperature
starts at 100°F and increases in 5°
increments until reaching the set
temperature. Some minor smoking is
normal when using oven for first few
times.
Broiling
Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using a special
reflector. This reflector focuses heat directly on the food; searing in
natural juices and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.
Center food on broiling grid and pan and place on rack in oven. Oven
door can be shut or open to the first
stop. Broiling does not require
preheating.

Broiling Hints
WARNING !
Never leave oven unattended
while broiling. Overcooking may
result in a fire.
• Remove excess fat from meat
before broiling. Cut edges of meat
to prevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased
broiling pan. If pan is hot, food
sticks.
• All food except fish should be
turned at least one time. Begin
broiling with skin side down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Broiling does not require
preheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack
levels in Broiling section to test
broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack
position. If food is too brown, cook
on a lower rack position.
