SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
NOTE
To assure your electronic controls safety when broiling with
the oven door in broil position, an high speed cooling fan
will blow air through the trims above the door(s).
SETTING BROIL
This mode is best for meats, fi sh 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
appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An
optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available
via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3). 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. The oven can be programmed
to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a
default temperature of 550°F.
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 2).
• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door closed.
• 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 fi re.
To set a Broil of 500°F:
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place
the food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler
pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert
with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan
on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly
under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door
is closed.
3. Preheat for 2 minutes before broiling.
4. Press BROIL. "550" will appear in the display.
5. Press 5 0 0. If a lower broil temperature is desired
(minimum broil temperature setting is 400°F), press
the desired temperature before continuing to step 5.
6. Press START. The oven will begin to broil. "500°" will
appear in the display.
7. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Season and serve. Note: Always
pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or
removing food.
8. To stop broiling press OFF.
