Broil
The Broil feature uses the broil element to cook and brown 1 to 4
small pieces of food at a time. Always use the broiling grid. The
Crisper Pan may be used with the Broil function to catch
drippings from the food. See “Grids” section before using.
■ Avoid opening the door often.
■ For even browning, turn food over halfway through cooking.

Before Broiling, remove turntable support. See “Parts and
Features” for location. Replace turntable in oven, then preheat
oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Turntable will not turn during broiling.
Place all food on front half of broiling grid. Position grid with food
on it so that the food is directly under the broil element.
