Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting
food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position
food on grid in a broiler pan, and 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 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
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
Convect Options
Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads,
casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork
roasts, beef roasts
Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish or poultry

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 the number keypads to enter the length of time

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.

8. Press CANCEL to clear the display.

Warming Drawer

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.
The warming drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads
and pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at
the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than
1 hour. For smaller quantities, pizza, or heat-sensitive foods, such
as eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
