Calphalon HE700CO manual Broil, Preheat Yes

BROIL

How it Works

When choosing Broil mode, the top heating elements cycle on and off to cook foods from the top down. Broil with the door open for short cooking times, less than 10 minutes, to add crispness to items like open-faced sandwiches and nachos. Broil with the door closed for tender items like fish.

When to Use This Setting

Select Broil for small cuts of meat, fish or poultry, and for browning crumb toppings or melting cheese on casseroles or garlic bread.

•Preheat – Yes

•Rack Position – Top or Middle (allowing at least ½-inch between the pan of food and the upper heating elements).

•Recommended Broiling Pans – Metal baking pans are suggested for broiling. The nonstick 9 x 10-inch Calphalon baking pan provided with the convection oven works well for many foods. You may also use other shallow baking pans suitable for broiling.

WARNING

Avoid a fire hazard by choosing suitable pans for broiling meats. Broiled meats accumulate juices while cooking. Choose broiling pans with sides to catch the drippings and prevent them from spilling into the bottom of the convection oven. Make sure there is at least ½-inch of clearance between the pan of food and the heating elements.

Options

The optional Defrost and Convection settings are not available while using the Broil mode. If you try to select these options the convection oven will chime three times to indicate these settings are not active during the Broil mode.
