infrared convection broil

CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)

The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Sm oke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
