Do not place foods directly on the oven floor. Preheating and Pan Placement Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. On some models, the control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall. Cut slits in the foil just like the grid. Aluminum Foil Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil. You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food. Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven. How to Set the Oven for Broiling Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher. Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without overbrowning them. Touch the BROIL HI/LO pad once for HI Broil. To change to LO Broil, touch the BROIL HI/LO pad again. Touch the START pad. When broiling is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. On models with an oven control knob, turn the knob to BROIL. On some models, you must push the knob in before turning. When broiling is finished, turn the knob to OFF. 25
