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 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. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a

default temperature of 550°F.

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 2).

•For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the broil stop position (see Figure 1).

•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.
