BROILING TIPS
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Preheating the oven is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove all utensils from the oven before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the control(s) to BROIL as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide.
• To Broil: Broil on side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Always pull
rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
• Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from burner, but on the
thickness of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The rst side usually requires a few minutes longer than
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.
• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with
foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use
hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water. Clean the
broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-lled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from
the element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning.
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only
140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide,
USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F(63°C) for medium rare fresh
beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.
SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your oven control has been precisely set at the factory. This setting may differ from your previous oven however, so your
recipe times may not give you the results you expect. If you think that the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your
recipe times, you can adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.
TO ADJUST OVEN TEMPERATURE:
1. Press BAKE.
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and
holding the
.
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold BAKE until the 2
digit display appears. Release BAKE. The display now
indicates the amount of degrees offset between the
original factory temperature setting and the current
temperature setting. If the oven control has the original
factory calibration, the display will read "0".
4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F
(17°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the or
. Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears
in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a
minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate
that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of
degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press
CLEAR OFF to go back to the time of day display.
Note: Oven temperature adjustments made will not change
the Self-Cleaning feature temperature.
