Setting Broil

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 ap- pearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 1 & 2). 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 the 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 1).

•For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the broil stop position (see Figure 3).

•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.

To set the Broil:

1.Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool.

2.Push the BROIL pad.

3.Push and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW pad until the desired broil setting level appears in the display. Push UP ARROW pad for HI broil or the DOWN ARROW pad for LO broil. Most foods can be boiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage.

4.Place grid on the broiler pan, then place the food on the grid. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.

5.Place the pan on the oven rack. Open the oven door to the broil stop position when broiling (Figure 3).

6.Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Note: Always pull the rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.

7.When broiling is finished, push the CLEAR OFF pad.
