To set Broil:

1.Press the Broil pad.

BROIL flashes.

“SEt” is displayed.

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

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.

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, then 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.
