Using and Caring for Your Oven

Convection Broil

Convection broiling is actually high- temperature convection roasting. Use this setting when broiling thick cuts of meat. Results are similar to those you get when using a rotisserie.

Your options are: LO (235°F [113°C]), br 2 (300°F [149°C]), br 3 (370°F [187°C]), br 4 (435°F [224°C]), and HI (500°F [260°C]).

1. Position rack.

See the rack placement chart in the “Broiling guidelines” section for recommended rack positions.

2. Put food in oven.

Place food on grid in broiler pan and place in center of the oven rack. Turn the pan so the long side is parallel to the oven door for the most even heat and the best airflow.

NOTE: If you want to change the convection broiling temperature after broiling has begun, repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5.

3. Close door.

NOTE: Do not try to convection broil with the door open. The fan and elements will not operate.

Broiling guidelines

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They are designed to drain extra juices from the cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent spatter and smoke.

To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover the grid with foil.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat on the edges to prevent curling.

Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food.

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

For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as soon as possible after each use.

Recommended rack positions are numbered

from the bottom

(1) to the top (5).

For best results, place food 3 inches (7.5 cm) or more from the broil element.
