Broiling
(Lower Oven Only)
To set Broil:
1. Press the Broil pad.
• BROIL flashes.
• SEt is displayed.
2. Press the More+ pad to set HI broil or press the Less-
pad to set LO broil.
• HI or LO will be displayed.
• Select HI Broil (550° F) for normal broiling. Select
LO Broil (450° F) for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such as poultry.
3. After four seconds, the oven will start.
• BROIL will remain lit.
Notes:
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for
broiling.
• Expect broil times to increase and browning to be
slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt
circuit.
• HI is used for most broiling. Use LO Broil when broiling
longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.
• To change oven temperature during broiling, press
the Broil pad and then the More+ or Less- pad to
switch between LO and HI Broil.
• Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temperature is selected.
• Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling
time.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4
minutes before adding food.
5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four
inches (the first stop).
6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.
7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL
pad. Remove food and broiler pan from
the oven.
