How to use BROIL mode
The BROIL mode uses intense heat radiated from the
upper element. Use this mode for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat, 1" (2.5 cm) or less, poultry and fish. It can also be
used to brown breads and casseroles.
Note
Always broil with the oven door closed.
¡
Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for
¡
more than 5 minutes.
Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" (2 cm) thick.
¡
Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
¡
rack, for broiling.
Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
¡
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
¡
Fish does not need to be turned.
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
¡
ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
¡
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use CONV BROIL mode
Use the CONV BROIL mode for cooking thick, tender cuts
of meat, poultry and fish. This mode is not recommended
for browning breads, casseroles and other foods.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection
broiling is faster.
Note
Always use convection broil with the oven door closed.
¡
Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for
¡
more than 5 minutes.
Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4 cm) thick.
¡
Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
¡
rack, for broiling.

¡
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.

Fish does not need to be turned.
Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
¡
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use PROOF mode
Use the PROOF mode to raise yeast dough.
Note
Start with a cool oven when using this mode.
¡
Allow frozen dough to thaw first.
¡
The ideal temperature for proofing will be maintained
¡
until the mode is turned off. Dough has proofed when it
has doubled in size.
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
¡
accommodates the size of the container.
Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check
¡
the rising of the dough.

serving temperature.
CAUTION
Food may spoil when kept warm for too long.
Do not use the warm mode to heat cold food.

Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
▶
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F (60 °C)
or warmer.
DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
▶
Note
ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to
¡
heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips,
and dry cereal.
Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm
¡
with this mode.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a
¡
lid or aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only
¡
heat-safe dishes.
DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening
¡
the door will reduce the temperature of the oven.
When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the
¡
oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven.
