Tips for broiling typical foods
-
Turn the thermostat knob (H) to position BROIL
- Turn the timer knob (L) to the desired cooking time.
- Turn the function knob (M) to position BROIL
- When the function and the thermostat knob (M) are set to the BROIL position, only the
top element heats at full power.
When broiling is finished, turn the timer knob to the “O” position and the thermostat
knob to the “
●” position.
2.2 - BROIL AND TOP BROWN FUNCTIONS
Preheat the oven for 5 minutes, with the door slightly ajar (as highlighted in Figure 1).
Once the preheating time is complete, place the food being grilled directly on the wire rack
(Figure 2) and close the door, leaving it ajar, as shown in Figure 3; remember to turn the
food half way through cooking.
Important: for best results, place the food on the wire rack (O), leaving an empty space of
around 1 in near the door (see Figure 2).
To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the shallow pan directly
in slot 1; if the food has been prepared on a container, put the container on the
wire rack inserted in slot 2 (as shown in the figure 4).
NOTE: Oven-glass dishes should not be exposed to direct broiler heat.
Since fish is non-fatty it can be broiled directly on shallow pan. Broil until it flakes easily with a fork. Thin
fillets need not to be turned.
