SETTING BROIL (UPPER OVEN ONLY)

This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1" thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F.

The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature.

An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure

2 & 3). The optional broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept

away from the high heat of the oven broiler.

Broiling Tips:

For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5 minutes.

Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.

Always use a broiler pan and its cover when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 2).

If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order), preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat.

DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
