Broiling
CAUTION
Use CAUTION when cooking with the Broil feature. The
grease from fatty foods may ignite. If a fire should occur,
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.
To set Broil:
1. Press the Broil pad.
• BROIL flashes.
• SEt is displayed.
2. Press the
▲ pad to set HI broil or press the ▼ 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.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil element for 3-4
minutes before adding food.
5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four
inches (the first stop).
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.

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.
• To change the oven temperature during broiling, press the
Broil pad and then press the
▲ or ▼ pad to switch
between LO and HI broil.
• Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temp-erature is selected.
• Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling
time.
