Setting Oven Controls

Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 3) are recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times, or move to a different rack position to suit for doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the item closely.

Example — To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1.Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.

2.Position cookware in oven. Open oven door to the broil stop position (See Fig 2).

3.Press Broil keypad.

4.Press START.

5.Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil on other side.

6.When finished broiling press OFF.

To cancel Broil at anytime press OFF.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns

Important notes:

Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and reduce smoking.

When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil function.
