Setting the Controls for Broiling

1.Make sure the convection oven is properly plugged in and ready for operation. (See Electrical Requirements on page 4 for further instructions.)

2.Place the oven rack in the top position. Check to make sure the rack position allows at least ½-inch of space between the pan of food and the heating element. If there is not enough space, move the pan to the middle rack position.

3.When powered on, default settings for the convection oven are displayed. The oven is set to Bake for 10 minutes at 350˚F with the convection function activated.

4.Press the Mode button to select the Broil setting.

5.A default time and temperature of 3 minutes on HI broil appear.

6.If desired, turn the Time/Slices knob to adjust the cooking time, as needed. Turn right to increase the time and left to decrease the time. The time may be set in 1 minute increments up to a maximum of 2 hours.

7.Turn the Temp/Shade knob to select the desired broil setting of either HI or LO. HI broil is 400˚F and LO broil is 300˚F.

8.Press the Start/Cancel button. The oven begins preheating. Preheating will flash on the display until the selected broil temperature is reached.

9.Once preheated, the oven will chime, the desired broil setting will illuminate on the display, and the timer will begin counting down.

10. Insert the food into the oven on a baking pan.

11. Leave the door open slightly (where it catches) during broiling for short cooking times to add crispness.

Recommended Broiling Times and Temperatures

Times and temperatures are the same as for traditional ovens. Simply follow the package directions on your favorite foods or recipe instructions from cookbooks for recommended broiling times and temperatures.

Turn the foods over halfway through broiling to brown on both sides and cook throughout.
