Broiling

CAUTION

Use CAUTION when cooking with the Broil feature. The grease from fatty foods may ignite. If a fire should occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire does not extinguish, DO NOT put water on the fire. Use baking soda, dry chemical or fire extinguisher to smother the fire.

•BROIL flashes

•SEt is displayed

2.Press the ▲ pad to set HI broil or press the ▼ 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

4.For optimum browning, preheat for 2-3 minutes before adding food.

5.Place food in the oven. Close the oven door.

Broil Notes:

•For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.

•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 the oven temperature during broiling, press the Broil pad and then press the ▲ or ▼ pad to switch between LO and HI broil.

•Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temp- erature is selected.

•Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time.

•For additional broiling tips and temperatures, refer to the “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
