■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
■Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
1.Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.
2.Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into the lower part of the broiler pan.
3.Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler rack and close the door.
4.Press CUSTOM BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
5.Press START/ENTER.
The On and Temp indicator lights will light up. The temperature setting can be changed at any time during broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing CUSTOM BROIL.
6.Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.
To Custom Broil:
Changing the temperature while custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling temperature can be lowered by touching the TEMP/TIME “down” arrow pad.
1.Press CUSTOM BROIL.
2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a temperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C).
3.Press START/ENTER.
4.Press OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.

General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
■Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.
