COOKING MODES

Br_oil

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food from above. The Even-Heat™ system will distribute power to all three top heating elements to deliver two levels of efficient broiling. The bottom elements will not

be on.

Convection mode can be used with thin cuts of fish, eliminating the need for flipping.

Br_oil mode tips

For best results, use the 12" (30 cm) multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

For proper draining, do not cover the rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of the multipurpose pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Foods cooked under the broiler will burn very quickly if not monitored near the end of their cooking times.

Pull oven rack out before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may not need to be turned.

After broiling, remove the pan and food from the oven. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Broil mode, see the “Cooking modes” chart.
