Broiling
Setting the oven controls
1. Position the rack before turning on
the oven. The oven rack should be
positioned so that the surface of the
food is at least 3 inches (7.4 cm)
away from the broil element. Refer
to a rack placement chart and
broiling chart in a reliable cookbook
for recommended rack positions
and broiling times.
2. Place food on grid on the broiler
pan and place in the center of the
oven rack. Turn the pan so that the
long side is parallel to the oven
door for the best heat distribution.
3. Close the door to the Broil Stop
position (open about 6 inches, 15.2
cm). The door will stay open by
itself.
NOTE: The door must be partly
open whenever the oven is used to
broil. Leaving the door open allows
the oven to maintain proper
temperatures. Door can remain
closed during broiling, however
results may differ.
4. Push the Broil button. “ —" will
show in the small display and the
BROIL indicator will come on.
NOTE: If the oven door is latched when
you try to broil, the LOCK indicator will
show in the large display and you will be
unable to continue. Move the Lock Lever
all the way to the left to unlatch the
door.
5. Turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until
the desired broiling setting shows
in the small display (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
HI).
HI-BroU element on 100% of the
time
5-Broil element on 90% of the time
4-Broil element on 80% of the time
3-Broil element on 70% of the time
2-Broil element on 60% of the time
1-Broil element on 50% of the time
Most broiling is done at the HI
setting. If food is cooking too fast,
broil times can be varied by using
broil settings 1 through 5.
6. When broiling is done, push the
Set/Cancel button. Time of day will
then show in the large display.
Custom broil (lower oven)
■ If food is cooking too fast, turn the
Oven Temperature Control
counterclockwise until the Oven
ON Signal Light goes off.
■ If you want the food to broil slower
from the start, set the Oven
Temperature Control between 150°
and 325°F (65.5° and 162.7°C). The
lower the temperature, the slower
the cooking.
Broiling tips
■ Use the broiler pan and grid for
broiling. They are designed to dram
excess liquid and fat away from the
cooking surface to help prevent
spatter, smoke or fire.
■ Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable
cookbook for correct broiling times.
■ After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven when you
remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if it is left in the
heated oven.
A
warning
Fire Hazard
■ Place meat the correct distance
from the element. Meat placed too
close to the element may spatter,
smoke, burn or catch fire during
broiling.
■ To ensure adequate grease
drainage, do not use cookie
sheets or similar pans for broiling.
Also, covering the broiler grid
with foil is not recommended.
Poor drainage of grease may
result in fire. If foil is used, cut
slits in foil to correspond with all
openings in broiler grid. Grease
can then drain away and cool in
pan.
Adjusting the oven
temperature control (single/
upper oven)
Does your oven seem hotter or colder
than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shifted
gradually without you noticing the
change. Your new oven is properly
adjusted to provide accurate
temperatures. But, when compared to
your old oven, the new design may give
you different results.
If, after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be
adjusted by following these steps :
