setting Broil
This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1”
thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat
by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The
high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer ap-
pearance. The Broil pad controls the Broil feature. An
optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available
via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 1 & 2). The
optional broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow
dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the oven broiler.
Broiling tips:
• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5
minutes.
• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve.
• Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before
turning or removing food.
• Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling.
It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the
high heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the
broil stop position (see Figure 3).

• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order), preheat
the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.
• do not use the broil pan without the insert. do not
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire.
to set the Broil:
1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool.
2. Push the Broil pad.
3. Push and hold the uP or doWn arroW pad until the
desired broil setting level appears in the display. Push
uP arroW pad for hI broil or the doWn arroW
pad for LO broil. Most foods can be boiled at the hI
broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess
browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to
the well-done stage.
4. Place grid on the broiler pan, then place the food on the
grid. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover
the grid with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.
5. Place the pan on the oven rack. Open the oven door to
the broil stop position when broiling (Figure 3).
6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Note: Always pull the rack out to
stop position before turning or removing food.
7. When broiling is finished, push the clear oFF pad.
