SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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 oven can be programmed to broil at any
temperature from 400°F to 550°F.
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.
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 a 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).
• 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 the Controls for Broiling:
1. Arrange the interior oven rack.
2. Press BROIL pad. "---" will appear in the display.
3. Press
or pad to set the desired temperature.
4. Wait 4 seconds for the controls to accept the set
temperature.
5. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.
6. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan (available
via the enclosed accessories brochure). 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. To stop broiling press CANCEL.
Note: The broil temperature setting may be changed at
any time.
