HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
Recipes and baking times vary if you are baking at a high altitude. For accurate information write to the
Agriculture Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. Specify the
type of information and the baking mode (convection bake or bake) you need i.e. cakes, cookies,
breads, etc.There may be a cost for the bulletins.
TO SET THE OVEN FOR BROILING AND CONVECTION BROILING
CAUTION: Pay special attention when setting the Oven
Control knob on “BROIL”. If you set the knob
past the “BROIL” setting, the burner will not
ignite.
Decide if you are going to use BROIL or CONVECTION
BROIL. If you are going to use regular broil push the Broil
Switch (located on the Control Panel) and turn the Oven
Control knob to “BROIL”.To use Convection Broil push the Convection Broil Switch (located on the
Control Panel) and turn the Oven Control knob to “BROIL”.The burner will ignite after the gas
reaches the burner.The “oven on” indicator light will come on to let you know that the broiler is
currently on. During the broiling process, the infra-red burner produces such an intense heat that the
burner will cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe interior cooking environment.
The HEATING indicator light on the valve panel cycles on and off with burner to let the user know
when the burner is lit.This cycling process is used to evenly distribute and safely control the intense
heat that the broil burner produces.The cycling feature prevents the burner from producing range
damaging heat.
PREHEATING
For best broiler performance, preheating for 10 minutes improves searing of the food’s
outside layer, seals in natural juices and flavors, gives a more even cooking pattern, and
takes less time to cook.
TO GET THE BEST RESULTS
• Defrost the food before starting to cook.
• Set a minute timer for the minimum time to check the food.
• Steaks should be at least one inch thick, if a rare doneness is desired. It is difficult to get rare
with meat that is thinner, or to get a nice brown piece of meat.
• After half the total cooking time turn the food over only once. It is not necessary to turn over
thin foods (fillet of fish, ham slices, etc.). Liver slices must be turned over.
• Use a two-piece broil pan.Two-piece broil pans are designed to minimize smoke and spatter. DO
NOT cover the slotted grid with aluminum foil.This will catch the grease and could cause a fire.
• When top browning use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware. DO NOT use heat-proof glass or
pottery as this type of glassware cannot withstand the intense heat of the broiler burner.
NOTE: You cannot use the broiler burner and the bake burner at the same time.When one is on,
the other cannot be turned on.
