Place the cakes on the racks, as shown. Broiling When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. ■■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Cook Time WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Oven Vent A A. Oven vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent. Baking and Roasting The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe. Preheating When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. To Set a Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE. The Bake indicator light will light up. 2.
