Important notes:
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan
along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to
drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and
reduce smoking.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
• Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil
function.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns
