Using Traditional Broil

Trivection™ Wall Oven

How to set the oven for broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door open or closed. However, if the door is closed, the food may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.

1Select BROIL.

2Select HI for high broil or LO for low broil. LO is used to broil thicker cuts of meat without over-browning them.

3Select START. We recommend preheating for 5 minutes with the door closed whether you broil food with the door open or closed.

4Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid and pan.

5Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

6When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after 3 hours of continuous broil.
