To Custom Broil:

Changing the temperature when custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

1.On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

2.Press CUSTOM BROIL.

3.Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to enter a temperature other than 500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

4.Press START/ENTER.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.

5.Press UPPER OFF, LOWER OFF or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
