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 broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature. ■ 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. See the "Accessories" section. Convection Cooking In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads. During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Use the following chart as a guide. Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature, possible shortened cooking time Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30% Convection Broil Shortened cooking time 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. To Set a Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE or BROIL, or press CONVECT MODES until the desired convection mode appears on the display. 2.

Press CANCEL to clear the display. To Set a Delayed Timed Cook: 1. Press BAKE or BROIL, or press CONVECT MODES until the desired convection mode appears on the display. 2. Press the number keypads to enter a temperature other than the one displayed. 3. Press COOK TIME. The cook time oven indicator light will light up. 4. Press number keypads to enter the length of time to cook. 5. Press DELAY START. 6. Press number keypads to enter the number of hours and/or minutes you want to delay the start time. 7. Press START. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The temperature and/or time settings can be changed anytime after pressing Start by repeating steps 2-7. When the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. 8. Press CANCEL to clear the display. Oven Light The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the off position. To Replace: 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove. 3. Turn bulb counterclockwise to remove from socket. 4. Replace bulb, then bulb cover by turning clockwise. 5. Plug in range or reconnect power. Convect Options Convect Bake - Multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes.
