Oven Cooking
Broiling
For best results, use a broiling pan. For additional broiling tips,
refer to the “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
Setting the Knob Control for Broiling (lower
compartment - select models):
1. Place the broiler pan in the recommended broiling com-
partment position shown in the chart below.
2. Turn Oven Temp knob to Broil or, for lower temperature
broiling, to 450
°F.
• Lower temperature broiling
avoids excessive browning of
longer cooking foods such as
poultry.
3. Follow the suggested times in the broiling
chart below. Meat should be turned once about halfway
through its cooking time.
4. Check the doneness by cutting a slit in the meat near the
center to check the color.
5. After broiling, turn the Oven Temp knob to OFF. Remove
the broiler pan from the broiler compartment.
