Preheat oven for 2-3 minutes.
Broil Notes
• For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for
broiling.
• 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.
4. For optimum browning, preheat 2-3 minutes before adding
food.
5. Place food in the oven. Close the oven door.
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.
