for the upper oven. Pads on the  
right side of panel are for the

ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and  
STOP TIME pads can be used  
for either oven.  
Remember that food will continue  
to cook in the hot oven and  
therefore should be removed when  
the desired internal temperature  
has been reached.  
Step 3: Touch the BAKE pad  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.  
Tender meat or poultry can be  
roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which  
should be low and steady, keep  
spattering to a minimum. When  
roasting, it is not necessary to  
sear, baste, cover or add water to  
your meat.  
For Frozen Roasts  
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb,  
etc., can be started without  
thawing, but allow 10 to 25  
minutes per pound additional time  
(10 minutes per pound for roasts  
under 5 pounds, more time for  
larger roasts).  
Step 4: Press the INCREASE or  
DECREASE pad until desired  
temperature is displayed.  
The word “ON” will be displayed  
as the oven heats up. When the  
oven reaches the set temperature a  
tone will sound.

Roasting is really a baking

Therefore, oven controls are set for

easy; just follow these steps:  
roasting to ensure even doneness.  
Some commercial frozen poultry  
can be cooked successfully without  
thawing. Follow directions given  
on package label.  
To change oven temperature  
during BAKE cycle, touch BAKE  
pad and then INCREASE or  
DECREASE pad to set new  
temperature.

Step 1: Check weight of meat, and  
place, fat-side-up, on roasting rack  
in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with  
rack is a good pan for this.) Line

Questions and Answers  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling  
when I try to carve it?  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if  
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes  
after removing from oven. Be sure  
to cut across the grain of the meat.  
Step 5: Touch the CLEAR/OFF  
pad when roasting is finished and  
then remove food from oven.  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven  
each time I cook a roast or  
poultry?  
Step 6: Most meats continue to  
cook slightly while standing, after  
being removed from the oven.  
Standing time recommended for  
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This  
allows roasts to firm up and makes  
them easier to carve. Internal  
temperature will rise about 5°  
to 10”F.; to compensate for  
temperature increase, if desired,  
remove the roast from oven sooner  
(at 5° to 10”F. less than  
A. It is unnecessary to preheat  
your oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are  
there any special tips that would  
help me cook it more evenly?  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in  
thickness as possible, or buy  
rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil  
“tent” when roasting a turkey?  
Step 2: Place in oven shelf in A or  
B position. No preheating is  
necessary.  
temperature in the Roasting  
Guide.)  
A. Sealing the foil will steam  
the meat. Leaving it unsealed  
allows the air to circulate and  
brown the meat.

Roasting  
the Probe  
See Roasting Guide.  
After preparing meat and placing  
it on roasting pan rack, follow these  
steps for proper probe placement.  
Correct Placement of the  
Temperature Probe  
Oven has a probe in the upper  
oven only.  
Poultry  
Insert probe into meatiest part of  
inner thigh from below and  
to the leg of a whole turkey.  
For many foods, especially  
roasts and poultry, internal food  
temperature is the best test for  
doneness. The temperature probe  
takes the guesswork out of roasting  
by cooking foods to the exact  
doneness you want. When the  
internal temperature of the food  
reaches the temperature you set,  
the oven automatically shuts off.  
Casseroles or Fish  
Insert probe into center of dishes  
such as meat loaf or casseroles.  
When cooking fish, insert probe  
from just above gill into meatiest  
area, parallel to backbone.  
Step 1: Lay the probe on the  
outside of the meat along the top  
or side and mark with your finger  
where the edge of the meat comes  
to on the probe. Point should rest  
in the center of the thickest meaty  
part of the roast.  
PROBE  
(APPEARANCE MAY VARY)

Ham or Lamb  
Insert probe into cut end, meatiest  
part of ham or lamb without a  
bone. For bone-in ham or lamb,  
insert probe into center of lowest  
large muscle or joint.  
The temperature

plug at the other end that goes into  
a receptacle on the oven wall. Use  
handles of the probe and plug  
when inserting and removing from  
meat and wall receptacle. Do not  
use tongs to pull on the cable  
when removing the probe—they  
might damage it. TO AVOID  
BREAKING THE PROBE,  
MAKE SURE FOOD IS  
Step 2: Insert the probe into the  
meat up to the point marked off  
with your finger. It should not  
touch bone, fat or gristle.

COMPLETELY DEFROSTED  
BEFORE INSERTING.  
No more than two inches of the  
probe, not counting the handle,  
should be left exposed outside the  
meat.

Broiling  
NOTE: Oven has controls for

sure to set the correct control.  
Pads on the left side of panel are  
for the upper oven. Pads on the  
right side of panel are for the  
lower oven. The TIMER  
ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and  
STOP TIME pads can be used  
for either oven.  
Step 6: Touch INCREASE pad for  
HI broil or touch DECREASE pad  
for LO broil.  
Questions & Answers  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary  
to always use a rack in the pan?  
NOTE: Chicken and ham are  
broiled at LO broil in order to cook  
food without overbrowning it.  
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends  
the meat over the pan. As the meat  
cooks, the juices fall into the pan,  
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are  
protected by the rack and stay  
cooler, thus preventing excessive  
spatter and smoking.  
Step 7: Turn food only once  
during broiling. Time foods for  
first side per Broiling Guide.  
Turn food, then use times given for  
second side as a guide to preferred  
doneness. (Where two thicknesses  
and times are given together, use  
first times given for thinnest food.)  
Broiling is cooking food by  
intense radiant heat from the upper  
broil unit in the oven. You can  
broil in upper or lower oven. Most  
fish and tender cuts of meat can  
be broiled. Follow these steps  
to keep spattering and smoking  
to a minimum.  
Q. Should I salt the meat before  
broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices  
and allows them to evaporate.  
Always salt after cooking. Turn  
meat with tongs; piercing meat  
with a fork also allows juices to  
escape. When broiling poultry  
or fish, brush each side often  
with butter.  
Step 8: When finished broiling,  
touch the  
pad. Serve  
food immediately, and leave pan  
outside oven to cool during meal  
for easiest cleaning.  
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle  
near edge, cut vertical slashes  
through both about 2“ apart. If  
desired, fat may be trimmed,  
leaving layer about 1/8” thick.  
Use of Aluminum Foil  
Q. Why are my meats not turning  
out as brown as they should?  
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack  
in broiler pan. Always use rack so  
fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise  
uices may become hot enough to  
catch fire.  
A. In some areas, the power  
(voltage) to the oven maybe low.  
In these cases, preheat the broil  
unit for 10 minutes before placing  
broiler pan with food in oven.  
Check to see if you are using the  
recommended shelf position. Broil  
for longest period of time indicated  
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food  
only once during broiling.  
Step 3: Position shelf on  
recommended shelf position as  
suggested in Broiling Guide.  
You can use aluminum foil to line  
your broiler pan and broiler rack.  
However, you must mold the foil  
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it  
just like the rack.  
Q. Do I need to grease my  
broiler rack to prevent meat  
from sticking?  
A. No. The broiler rack is designed  
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping  
the surface cool enough to prevent  
meat from sticking to the surface.  
However, spraying the broiler rack  
lightly with a vegetable cooking  
spray before cooking will make  
cleanup easier.  
Without the slits, the foil will  
prevent fat and meat juices from  
draining to the broiler pan. The  
juices could become hot enough to  
catch on fire. If you do not cut the  
slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Step 4: Leave door open to broil  
stop position. The door stays open  
by itself, yet the proper tempera-@  
is maintained in the oven.  
Step 5: Touch the BROIL pad.  
NOTE: If BROIL pad does not  
work, probe might be connected.

carefully in caring for your oven  
to assure safe and proper  
maintenance.

To replace the door, make sure  
the hinges are in the special stop

pull them back out.  
Replace bulb with 40-watt home  
appliance bulb.  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the
