How to Set the Oven for Speed Broiling

Safety

Heat is provided by the upper element and microwave. Air is circulated with the reversing fan system. Oven door must be closed. Ideal for broiling foods to medium to well done doneness levels two times faster than traditional broil.

Select SPEEDCOOK from the main menu.

Select SPEED BROIL.

Enter traditional broil time for first side (using maximum time if a range is given). Reference the chart below.

NOTE: If you don’t plan to turn the food over, enter the total broil time.

Select START to preheat oven. Cook time will automatically convert to shorter time and display on control screen.

You must preheat the oven. Wait for the preheat signal and message on display to “PUT FOOD IN OVEN” before placing food in oven.

Select START. Start will not appear on control screen until door is opened and food is put in oven. Countdown of cook time will begin.

NOTE: Food may be checked at any time by opening the door. The microwave and convection fan will turn off and the time countdown will stop while the door is open. They will resume when the door is closed.

Check food when prompted. Turn food as needed and add more time for the second side.

After the cooking time has ended, the oven will prompt the user to add “MORE TIME” to further cook food if desired. Add additional time by selecting MORE TIME. Enter traditional cooking time in minutes and select START. Once again, the oven automatically converts the traditional time to the appropriate speedcook time (nearest minute). Press CLEAR/OFF pad if food has finished cooking.
