	To test if your broiler is working properly, cover the entire broiler pan grid with bread. Place the broiler pan on the third shelf
	from the bottom. Broil until the bread is golden brown. If you have browning on both sides of the pan, your broiler is working
16	properly. If toast browns only on one side of the pan, call for service.
