Broiling tips
• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.
They are designed to drain excess liquid
and grease away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.
• After broiling, remove the broiler pan
from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave
it in the heated oven.
ikWARNING
Fire Hazard
• Place food about 3" or more from the
broil element.
•To ensure adequate grease drainage,
do not use cookie sheets or similar
pans for broiling. Also, covering the
broiler grid with foil is not recom­
mended. If foil is used, cut slits in foil
to line up with all openings in broiler
grid. Grease can then drain away and
cool in pan.
Failure to follow the above could result
in fire, burns, or other personal injury.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
• Preheat only when recommended and for
the shortest time possible.
• “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss,
longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory
baking results. Rely on your timer to keep
track of the cooking time.
• Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time to bake is right after a
meal has been cooked in oven.
• Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the oven. When using the oven to cook
one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in
it also.
• Do not preheat when broiling, roasting, or
cooking items such as casseroles.
Using the electronic MEALTIMER* control
The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn
the oven on and off at times you set, even
when you are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for
foods which do not require a preheated
oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do
not use delayed time cooking for cakes,
cookies, etc. - they will not rise properly.
This section discusses two methods for
starting baking/roasting now and stopping
automatically later, and three methods for
starting and stopping baking/roasting
automatically. Read this section carefully to
choose which method(s) is best for you.
