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 burner 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 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 for 5 minutes before
broiling.
• 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 burner (see Figure 2).
• Always broil with the oven door closed.
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. Make sure the oven door
is closed.
3. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.

7. Press start. The oven will begin to broil. “500°” will
appear in the display.
