Broiling

Broil Notes: CAUTION

Use CAUTION when cooking with the Broil feature. The grease from fatty foods may ignite. If a fire should occur, close the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire does not extinguish, DO NOT put water on the fire. Use baking soda, dry chemical or fire extinguisher to smother the fire.

4.For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4 minutes before adding food.

5.Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four inches (the first stop).

6.Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.

7.When food is cooked, press the CANCEL pad.

Remove food and broiler pan from the oven.

• The time of day will reappear in the display.

2.Press the Autoset 0 pad once to set HI Broil or

twice to set LO Broil.

Select HI broil (550° F) for normal broiling. Select

LO broil (450° F) for low-temperature broiling of longer cooking foods such as poultry.

3.After four seconds, the oven will start.

Broil Notes:

For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.

Expect broil times to increase and browning to be slightly lighter if appliance is installed on a 208-volt circuit.

HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning.

To change the oven temperature during broiling, press the Broil pad, then the Autoset 0 pad to switch between LO and HI broil.

Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling temperature is selected.

Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time.
