BROILING TIPS

Placing food on broil rack allows the drippings to flow into the bake pan/drip tray and helps to prevent smoking from the broiler.

For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.

If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1½ to 2 times the broiling time as required when fresh.

Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.

Brush foods to be broiled with oil and season as desired before broiling.

Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled on bake pan/drip tray without the broiler rack.

There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks midway through broiling cycle.

If broiler “pops” during broiling, reduce the temperature or lower the food in the oven.

Wash bake pan/drip tray and clean inside of oven after each use with non-abrasive cleaner and hot soapy water. Too much grease accumulation will cause smoking (I).

5.Turn cooking function selector to TOAST.

6.

Turn toast shade selector to 20 and then turn back to desired

 

toast shade (J).

J

to medium, midway between light and dark setting, then readjust

for next cycle to lighter or darker to suit your preference.

8.The ON indicator light comes on and remains on until toasting cycle is complete.

9.When toast cycle is complete, there will be an audible signal. The oven and the on indicator light will go off.

TOAST TIPS
