Broiling
CAUTION

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.

• SEt is displayed.
2. Press the More+ pad to set HI broil or press the Less-
pad to set LO broil.
• HI or LO will be displayed.
• 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 will remain lit.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4
minutes before adding food.
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.

Broil pad and then the More+ or Less- pad to switch
between LO and HI broil.
