1500 F (815.5 C) INFRARED BROIL
The broil burner at the top of the
oven heats the metal screen until it
glows. The glowing screen
produces the infrared heat, searing
the outside of broiled foods and
sealing in juices.
HI/LO Broil
1. Press the broil key once to access the broil function. A single tone
will sound, the broil indicator light will appear in the lower left
corner and the bar segments “---” of the display will light indicating
the broil function has been accessed.
2. Press the up slew key for high broil or the down slew key for low
broil. HI will appear if the up key is pressed; LO will appear if the
down key is pressed. The oven function selector must be turned to
either the broil or convection broil position.
3. The broil function will terminate if the high or low broil is not
selected within 30 seconds. The broil function can also be
terminated by pressing the cancel key once.
CONVECTION BAKE
Heat is radiated from the bake
burners in the bottom of the oven
cavity and is circulated by the
motorized fan in the rear of the
oven. It provides more even heat
distribution throughout the oven
cavity for all uses. Multiple rack
use is possible for the largest
baking job. When roasting, cool air
is quickly replaced - searing meats
on the outside and retaining more
juices and natural flavor on the
inside with less shrinkage.

Natural Airflow Baking
To Bake:
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position BEFORE heating the
oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2
and 4.
2. Turn the function selector to BAKE and set the desired temperature.
3. Place the food in the oven when a single tone sounds, indicating
the desired temperature has been reached.
This conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes
which require a high temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to
be cooked in the conventional manner. This type of baking is only
recommended for single-rack baking.
Convection Baking
For convection baking, the oven function selector must be turned to
“CONVECTION BAKE”.
Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated
air circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulating of this
air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and
eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This
feature can make a significant difference in foods prepared in the oven.
A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in
quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible . . . a feature
not possible in a standard oven. With this heating system, the air is
distributed evenly throughout the oven by the hot air fan. The heat
therefore reaches the food to be baked or roasted more quickly. With
this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time
with minimal taste transfer, even when different dishes are involved,
such as cakes, fish, or meat. The hot air system is especially
economical when thawing frozen food.
Pan Placement Tips
•When using large (15” x 13” [38 cm x 33 cm]) flat pans or trays that
cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
•Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used. No pan should be directly above another.
•Allow 1 1/2” to 2” (3.8 cm to 5.1 cm) of air space around all sides of
each pan for even air circulation.
•When baking on more
than one rack, it is
recommended to use the
2nd and 4th position for
Rack Positions
Each convection oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. This oven
has four rack positions. Position 4 is the farthest from the oven
bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can
be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with
conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time. It is
also recommended when using two racks, to bake with the racks on
position 4 and 2.

•Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection
modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the
recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow
the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food
is not prepared to your satisfaction during the first convection trial,
adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position,
or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting
one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.
•Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before you turn
the oven on.

•Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come clean when done.
•Use good quality baking pans and sizes recommended in the recipe;
warped, dented, or burned pans should not be used.
•Shiny metal pans are preferred for baking items such as cakes,
cookies, and muffins because they produce light, golden crusts due to
heat being reflected by the metal.
•Glass pans may also be used for cake baking. Reduce the oven
temperature by 25 degrees when using a glass pan, but bake for the
same amount of time called for in the recipe.
•Pies are best baked in pans which absorb and hold heat. Glass,
enamel, dull-finished metal, and porcelain enamel finish give pies a
golden brown crust.

air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not
cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly
for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin, and
meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry
directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to
stand at room temperature.

•Always roast meats fat side up. No basting is required when the fat
side is up. Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed
effect. Roasting is a dry-heat process.
•Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan.
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.

•For convection roasting, do not use pans with tall sides, as this will
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.
•If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use conventional
baking rather than convection.
•When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat
thermometer 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time.
After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1/2” (1.3 cm) further into
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second reading registers
below the first, continue cooking the meat.

Infrared Conventional Broiling
The broiler is an in-the-oven infrared broiler design-certified for
residential use. The method preferred by professional cooks to sear in
the nutrition, flavors, and juices of meat, poultry, and fish is now
possible in the home. The infrared broiler cooks up to 50% faster than
other methods. Its intense, penetrating heat produces a more
attractive, professional finish. The broil burner heats the metal screen
located at the top of the oven until it glows. The glowing screen
produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled food and
sealing in the juices.

Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or indirect radiant
heat. It is used for small individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and
patties. Broiling is most successful for cuts 1-2 inches (2.54-5.1 cm)
thick. Conventional broiling is also more suitable for flat pieces of
meat.

This broiler features a HI and LO broil function. The LO broil function
should be used for slow broiling since the unit will cycle on and off
frequently. The HI broil function should be used for fast broiling as the
unit will cycle less frequently

Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker
than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better
results especially for extra thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside
and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

Rack Positions:
Conventional/Convection Broiling Chart
The broiler uses infrared heat rays to help cook the food. Because
these rays can travel only in straight lines, the effective cooking area of
the broiler is reduced when using the higher rack positions. At high
rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so
larger pieces of meat might not broil sufficiently at the outer edges.
Position 4 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the closest to
the oven bottom.

Broiling Tips
•Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to
provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface
to help prevent spatter, smoke and fire.
•Place broiler pan with food in recommended rack position.
•To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
•Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent
drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler grid.
•Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,
season and turn. Season second side just before removing.
•Always pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.
•Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. Never pierce meat with a fork as
this allows the juices to escape.

•Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the
side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can also be
covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the
openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent
spattering, smoking or possibility of grease fire.

Glass Surface
Convection Defrosting
Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to
remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it
does not run down on exterior door surface.
•Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
•Turn the oven function selector to “CONVECTION BAKE”.
•Do not set a bake temperature*.
Brass Parts
*IMPORTANT:
CAUTION: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy
coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
BRASS OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with
hot soapy water.
Do not set the bake temperature. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.
*WARNING:
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Broiler
There is no special care required for the infrared broiler. It is designed
as self-contained unit, and no adjustments or cleaning are possible. Do
not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities
which may condense on it.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot
water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The
broiler pan and grid is also dishwasher safe.
Control Knob
Oven Racks
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOB POINTS TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knob straight off. Wash in detergent
and warm water. Do not soak the knob. Dry completely and replace
by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing
ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner
when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape
stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as
LIquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.

Power Failure
Since this oven uses electronic ignition, electrical power failure in the
home will affect the oven. During a power failure, electric igniters will
not work and the oven cannot be used. Momentary power failures can
occur unnoticed. The oven is affected only when the power is
interrupted. When power is restored, the oven will be fully useable. A
“brown-out” may or may not affect the oven’s operation, depending
upon the severity of the power loss. If power loss or brown-out is
suspected, do not use the oven until electrical service is restored.
