PERFECT BROIL™ SYSTEM

For best results, preheat oven with door closed at 450°F for at least 5 minutes before broiling.

This oven is designed to provide a broil function with the door slightly ajar. You can also select the optimum broiling temperature for each specific food.

2.Turn cooking MODE selector knob between BROIL.

3.Turn time selector knob to 20 and then turn back or forward to desired broiling time including 5 minute preheat. (Select STAY ON to control cooking time yourself. Be sure to use a kitchen timer.)

4.Place food on bake pan/ drip tray or on broil rack inserted into bake pan/ drip tray.

Note: Be sure food does not extend past the outer limits of the bake pan/drip tray to prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements. Be sure the top of the food is at least 1½ inches from the top heating element.

5.Insert food into oven and close door leaving it ajar at about ¾-inch from the fully closed position.
