English COOKING MODES Broil Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food from above. The Even-Heat™ system will distribute power to all three top heating elements to deliver two levels of efficient broiling. The bottom elements will not be on. Convection mode can be used with thin cuts of fish, eliminating the need for flipping. Broil mode tips • For best results, use the 12" (30 cm) multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. • For proper draining, do not cover the rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of the multipurpose pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. • Foods cooked under the broiler will burn very quickly if not monitored near the end of their cooking times. • Pull oven rack out before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may not need to be turned. • After broiling, remove the pan and food from the oven. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult. NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Broil mode, see the "Cooking modes" chart. Keep Warm In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom elements to keep food warm before serving. Keep Warm Tips • The preset temperature is 170°F, but you may wish to adjust this depending on the item being warmed. IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before it is placed in the oven to keep warm. NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Keep Warm mode, see the "Cooking modes" chart. Reheat The Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom elements to bring food to serving temperature. (The top center element is off.) Reheat mode tips • The preset suggested temperature is 300°F, but you may need to adjust this depending on the item being reheated. • Reheating too long may over-cook or dry out food. NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Reheat mode, see the "Cooking modes" chart. 11
