Note: For optimum browning results when broiling, preheat the broil element for 3 to 4 minutes.

1.Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool.

2.Press _.

3.Press the A or v pad. If A is pressed, HI will appear in the display indicating the oven is set for Hi broil. If v is pressed, nor will appear in the display indicating the oven is set for a normal broil. Press again the

pad for HI broil or the v pad for LO broil. Most foods can be broiled at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be broiled to the well-done stage.

Broiling Tips	on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

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

Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require additional time.

Broiler Clean=UpTips:

•To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.

•To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.

Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
