Using the oven for roasting. 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. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy; just follow these directions: How to Set the Oven For Roasting Place the shelf in the A or B position.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. Your range has a compartment below the oven for broiling. A specially designed broiler pan allows dripping fat to drain away from the food.
The oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling. Always use the broiler pan that comes with your range. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or, brush with barbecue sauce the last 5 to 10 minutes.

Range Location Do not set the range over holes in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range should be sealed.
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions Anti-tip bracket attaches to the floor to hold either rear range leg.
