settings? The temperature setting in your old oven may have changed gradually over the years. The accurate setting of your new ovens can seem different. If you

Broiling can be slowed [upper oven only] by settlng the Upper Oven Tempera- ture Control to a setting lower than BROIL. When its on BROIL, the broil element is on all the time. When it’s on a temperature, the element turns off and on. The

lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the times when the element is on.

The Oven Selector must be on BROIL and the door partly open for all brolllng temperatures.

BROILING IN THE LOWER OVEN

1.Place rack where you want it for broiling. [See page 6 for suggestions.)

2.Put broiler pan and food on the rack.

3.Set Lower Oven Tempera- ture Control to BROIL.
