ROASTING

 Push in and turn the oven temperature control

knob counterclockwise
to the baking/roasting
temperature you want.
The oven burner will light
by itself in

50-60 seconds.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.

 Place racks where you need them. For more

information, see
“Positioning racks and
pans” in the “Using the
oven” section.

 When baking, preheat the oven before putting

food into it. During baking/roasting, the oven
burner will turn on and off to keep the oven
temperature at the selected setting.

NOTE: Do not place food directly on the oven door or
the oven bottom. If you want, place the food on the
rack at the extra rack position.

Roasting meats and poultry

For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drip-
pings and allows the heat to circulate better.

Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate
doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the
largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or
poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching
bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

 After baking/roasting, turn the oven temperature

control knob clockwise
to OFF.

Saving energy

•

 To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little

as possible.

•

 Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.

•

 Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the

oven by cooking more than one food at a time,
or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking
a meal.
