SETTING MAIN OVEN CONTROLS
SETTING BROIL
The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. When broil-
ing, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for
even coverage. The oven can be programmed to broil
at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a default
temperature of 550°F. The optional broil pan and broil
pan insert (available by mail order) 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 broil
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 in the
broil stop position (see Figure 1).
• If using a Searing Grill (see Figure 3 - 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 (available
by mail order). 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.
3. Press BROIL. “BROIL” will fl ash and “500°” will appear.
4. If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum
broil temperature setting is 400°F), press the desired
temperature. See table below for recommended rack
position and temperature.
5. Press START. The oven will begin to broil. “BROIL”
and “500°” will appear in the display.
6. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.
7. Place the broiler pan with food on the oven rack. Be
sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler
element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil
stop position (See Figure 1).
8. Broil one side until food is browned; turn and broil 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.
