How to set
the oven for
broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position.
The door stays open by itself, yet the proper
temperature is maintained in the oven.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door open or
closed. However, if the door is closed, the food may
not brown as well because the oven heating element
will cycle on and off.
1
Select BROIL.
2
Select HI for high broil or LO for low broil.
LO
is used to broil thicker cuts of meat
without over-browning them.
3
Select START. We recommend preheating for
5 minutes with the door closed
whether you
broil food with the door open or closed.
4
Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid
and pan.
5
Follow suggested rack positions in the
Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times. This guide is based
on meats at refrigerator temperature.
6
When broiling is finished, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after
3 hours of continuous broil.
