26 USING THE OVEN
BROIL
The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper
heating element to cook food. BROIL works best for
tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables.
• Your oven is designed for CLOSED DOOR Broiling
• The meat probe cannot be used with this mode
NOTE
Before Broiling.
1. Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid of the
broiler pan.
2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling
Guide.
3. The oven door must be closed during broiling.
If the oven door is opened when broiling, the
control will display “Close the door to continue broil”
promptly. A warning beep will occur every 15
seconds until the door is closed.
NOTE
Setting the BROIL function
1. Press BROIL once for Hi broil or twice for Lo broil.
2. Press START. The oven will begin to broil.
3. Broil the food on one side until browned. Turn and
cook on the other side until browned.
4. When broiling is finished, press CLEAR/OFF.
Press CLEAR/OFF to cancel Broil at any time.
• During oven operation, it is possible that the oven
cooling fan will operate to cool the control panel.
This is normal operation.
NOTE
Smoking
Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it is
normal to experience smoke during the cooking process.
This smoke is a natural byproduct of searing and should
not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more
smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following
tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.
1. Always use a broiler pan. Do not used sautéed pans
or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
2. NEVER use a broiler pan that is not thoroughly
cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning
of cooking.
3. ALWAYS run your cooktop ventilation system or vent
hood during broiling.
4. Keep the interior of your oven as clean as possible.
Left over debris from prior meals can burn or catch
fire.
5. Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both
of these will increase the amount of smoke you
experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it
at the very end of cooking.
6. If you are experiencing significant smoke with any
food item, consider:
• Lowering the broiler to the LO setting.
• Lowering the rack position to cook the food farther
away from the broiler.
• Using the HI broil setting to achieve the level of
searing you desire, and then either switching to the
LO broil setting, or switching to the BAKE function.
7. As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce
more smoke than leaner items.
8. Adhere to the recommended broil settings and
cooking guidelines in the chart on the following
page whenever possible.
• Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven
door closed and turn the oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use
a fire extinguisher.
• DO NOT put water or plain flour on the fire.
- Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
• DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid.
• DO NOT cover the grid with aluminum foil.
