BAKING/ROASTING
IMPORTANT: Do not try to light the oven burner
during a power failure.
1.Place the racks where you need them in the oven.
For more information,
see ÒPositioning racks
and pansÓ earlier in this
section.
2.Choose the bake setting.
The bake indicator light will light up.
3.Set the temperature (optional).
Do this step if you want to set a temperature
other than 350¡F. Press s to raise the temper-
ature or t to lower the temperature in 5¡F
amounts. You can set a temperature anywhere
from 170¡F to 500¡F. Use these pads until the
temperature you want shows on the display.
4.When roasting, put your food in the oven. You
do not have to preheat
the oven when roasting,
unless your recipe
recommends it. During
baking/roasting, the
burner will turn on and
off to keep the oven
temperature at the
setting.

Roasting meats and poultry
¥For even cooking, place the meat on a
rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the
meat out of the drippings 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.

A preheating time will count down on the display.
The heat, bake, and on indicator lights will light
up. The oven control automatically sets preheat-
ing times based on the oven temperature you
select:
¥For 245¡F and less, the preheating time is
4 minutes.
¥For 250¡F-445¡F, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
¥For 450¡F and above, the preheating time is
15 minutes.
The oven is preheated and ready to use when
you hear a 1-second tone, the on indicator light
goes off, the countdown is finished, and the set
temperature is displayed.
The preheat and set temperatures may be
different at the end of the countdown. This is
normal.
NOTES:
¥When the oven temperature is greater than
170¼F, no preheating time will be shown on
the display.
¥You can change the temperature setting any

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster
or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the offset temperature by
following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a
thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the
oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading.
Also, the thermometer temperature reading will
change as your oven cycles.
1.Press and hold the bake pad for 4 seconds.
The display will show 350¡F for 4 seconds. Then
you will see the current offset temperature, for
example Ò00,Ó if you have not already adjusted
the temperature.
2.Set the new offset temperature.
Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower
the temperature in 10¡F amounts. You can set
the temperature change to as low as -30¡F or as
high as +30¡F. A minus (-) sign will appear before
the number when decreasing the temperature
setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be
cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign
in front of the number when increasing the
temperature setting.
3.Enter the adjustment.
NOTE: The offset temperature resets to Ò00Ó if
the power goes out for more than 1 second.
How to determine the amount of
adjustment needed
The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust
the offset temperature to get the cooking results
you want. You can figure out cooking results by the
amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for
baked foods.(factory setting of Ò0Ó)

shows on the display. Press the start/enter pad.
Lower temperature settings let the broil burner

BROILING TIPS
¥Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are
designed to drain excess liquid and grease away
from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter
or smoke.
¥If you broil small quantities, you may want to use
a small broiler pan. You can get them in the
housewares section of many department stores.
¥Do not cover the broiler grid with foil.
¥To make sure the grease drains well, do not use
cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling.
¥Place food about 3 inches or more from the broil
burner.
¥The broiling rack position determines how the
burner cooks your food. The lower the position,
the more broiler grid area covered. See ÒBroiling
guideÓ later in this section for more information.
¥To sear meat, place the broiler pan at one of the
higher rack positions so that meat is very near the
flame.
¥Thin (3Ú4) steaks may be broiled in the higher rack
positions.
¥To cook thick (11Ú2) steaks and other thick cuts
of meat well done, start cooking on a lower rack
position or move them to a lower rack position
after searing.
¥After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the
oven when you remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

Broiling guide
Recommended rack positions are numbered from
the bottom (1) to the top
(5). For best results, turn
meat after approximately
2Ú3 of the broiling time.
Turn chicken pieces after
approximately half of the
broiling time. Very thin
cuts, such as fish fillets,
may not need to be
turned at all. Lobster
tails are not turned.
