Oven Vent
The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows 
the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or 
covering oven vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting 
cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other 
items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Baking and Roasting
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top 
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat 
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal 
cooking results.
To Bake or Roast:
Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is 
not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food 
in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
1. Press BAKE.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter 
a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or 
“down” pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in 
5°F/5°C increments.
2. Press START.
A preheat time will count down, and “PrE” will appear on the 
display. The oven control automatically sets preheating times 
based on the oven temperature you select.
When the actual oven temperature is reached, the set 
temperature will replace “PrE” on the display. 
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3. Press OFF or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
The temperature can be changed anytime after pressing START.
Preheating
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as 
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for 
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven 
temperature to differ.
Waiting an additional 10 minutes after the preheat conditioning 
time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking 
foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, 
baking soda and eggs.
Broiling
Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil burner to cook 
food. During broiling, the broil burner cycles on and off in 
intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil burner will 
turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. 
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and 
smoke.
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 prevent 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.
To Broil:
Before broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the 
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. 
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in, 
unless recommended in the recipe. Close the door.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the display until the 
oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
To Change Broil Temperature:
When custom broiling, changing the temperature allows more 
precise control. 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.
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL. “500°F” will appear on the display.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter a 
temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be 
set between 300°F and 525°F (149°C and 274°C). “HI” will 
appear instead of 525°F (274°C).
2. Press START.
The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display 
until the oven is turned off.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
