Broiling
The broil element provides flexibility for broiling foods.
We recommend you use the grill accessory for most of your broiling. There are
some types of foods that do require use of the oven broil element. These include foods such as stuffed lobsters, meringue pies, or other foods which require top
browning.
To Broil
1.Place oven rack on the rack position suggested in the chart. Distance from broiling element depends on foods being prepared. Rack position #4o (offset rack in position #4) is usually recommended unless otherwise stated.
2.Turn SELECTOR knob to BROIL setting.
3.Turn TEMPERATURE knob to 550°F.
4.Place food on roasting pan provided with oven. After top broil element is red place food in oven. Preheating takes a few minutes, or until element glows a bright cherry red.
5.Leave oven door open at broil stop position when broiling.
