1. Position the oven

at shelf (B) position

for small size roast

(3 to 5 lbs.) and at

(R) position for

larger roasts.

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-

up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting grid in a

shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.

Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.

(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

3. Press the BAKE pad.

4. Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature

is displayed.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”

and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,

the display will show the changing temperature.

When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a

tone will sound.

5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when

roasting is finished and then remove

the food from the oven.

To change the oven temperature during the

roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then

the + or – pad to get the new temperature.

ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the door latch

during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.

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.

The oven has a special

low shelf (R) position

just above the oven

bottom. Use it when

extra cooking space is

needed, for example,

when roasting a large

turkey. The shelf is not

designed to slide out at this position.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.

Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed

Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed

Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,

after being removed from the oven. The standing time

recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to

carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10°F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if

desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to

10°F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven and therefore should be removed when the

desired internal temperature has been reached.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.

This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily

cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press

the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time.

For example: while roasting a 20 lb. turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf may

be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same

time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete

cooking at the same time. Allow 15–20 minutes of additional cooking time.
