Operating the oven
Convection roasting
Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as
if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist
and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil
element of the oven.
The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. Broil mode
is best for meats, fish, and poultry up to 1" thick.
Always preheat the oven for 4 minutes before broiling.
How to set the oven for broiling

Press Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo.
Use Lo to cook foods such as poultry or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
2.
To start broiling, press START/SET.
Broil one side until the food is browned. Turn over and broil the other side.
Press OFF/CLEAR once you have finished cooking or if you want to cancel

Broil stop position
Leave the door open at the broil stop
position. The door will stay open by itself,
yet the proper temperature is maintained in
the oven.
CAUTION
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn the oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire
or use a foam-type fire extinguisher. Do
not put water or flour on the fire. Flour can
explode and water can cause a grease fire
to spread and cause personal injury.
