Choice Bake
®
 Function
(on some models)
The CHOICE BAKE
®
 function reduces top heat in the oven during 
cooking. It is ideal when baking pies, breads and casseroles and 
when roasting meat and poultry.
During traditional baking and roasting, the bake and broil 
elements or burners cycle on and off at intervals. When CHOICE 
BAKE
®
 is selected, the broil element or burner cycles on less 
frequently. This reduces top browning of foods and allows you 
more customized control of your cooking results.
 To Use:
1. Press CHOICE BAKE
®
 function.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a 
temperature other that 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
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.
If your model does not have a broiler pan, one may be ordered. 
See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part 
Number 4396923.
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.
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.
To Broil:
1. Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Press START or START/ENTER.
3. Press CANCEL or OFF/CANCEL when finished.
To Custom Broil:
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.
BROILING CHART
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.
Warm Hold Feature
(on some models)
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 serving 
temperature. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.
To Use Automatic Warm Hold Feature:
At the end of a timed cook, either with or without a delayed start, 
or at the end of a sequence program in which the last step is not 
the Warm Hold mode, the oven will automatically default to a
1-hour warm hold mode at 170°F (77°C).
