The CHOICE BAKE

®

 function minimizes the top heat during oven 

cooking. It is ideal for baking pies, casseroles and breads, and for 
roasting foods that require longer and slower cook times such as 
poultry and roasts.

Similar to the baking and roasting function, the bake and broil 
burners cycle on and off at intervals during the CHOICE BAKE

®

 

cycle. However, the cycle duration for the broil burner is much 
shorter during the CHOICE BAKE

®

 cycle. This reduces top 

browning of foods and gives you more customized control of 
your baking results.

1. Press CHOICE BAKE

®

 function.

Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a 
temperature other than 350°F (175°C) in 10° amounts. The 
bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C 
and 260°C).

2. Press START or START/ENTER.

The temperature can be changed after this step. Start does 
not need to be pressed again.

3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the 
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control 
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the 
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish 
and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

■

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid (provided on some 
models). They are designed to drain juices and help avoid 
spatter and smoke. 

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be 
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for 
Part Number 4396923.

■

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The 
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier 
cleaning.

■

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on 
the edges to avoid curling.

■

Pull out oven rack to stop position 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 from the oven when removing 
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated 
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is 
not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless 
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler 
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press START or START/ENTER.

3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.

2. Press TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to change the 

temperature in 5°F (5°C) amounts. The broil range can be set 
between 300°F (150°C) and HI (525°F [275°C]). 

3. Press START or START/ENTER.

4. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil 
burner. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted 
for individual tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered 
from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

*Place up to 9 patties, equally spaced, on broiler grid.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before 
placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour; 
however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left in the 
oven during Warm Hold.

Warm Hold Feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at serving 
temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.
