Broiling
Broiling system generates immediate, intense heat using
a heating element on the oven ceiling. This element
focuses heat directly on the food; searing in natural juices
and providing restaurant quality, charbroiled flavor.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of fire, do not line the broiler grid with foil.
• Foil may trap grease on top of grid close to burner
causing a fire.
• Never leave oven unattended while broiling.
Overcooking may result in a fire.
Broiling Tips
• Remove excess fat from meat before broiling. Cut
edges of meat to prevent curling.
• Place food on a cold ungreased broiling pan. If pan is
hot, food sticks.
• All food except fish should be turned at least one time.
Begin broiling with skin side down.
• Season meat after it has browned.
• Broiling does not require preheating.
• Begin cooking using suggested rack levels in
Broiling
Guide section to test broiler results. If food is not brown
enough, cook on a higher rack position. If food is too
brown, cook on a lower rack position.

Self-clean
WARNING !
To avoid risk of personal injury, do not touch oven
vents or areas around vents during self-cleaning.
These areas can become hot enough to cause burns.
To avoid risk of smoke damage or fire, clean excess
spills from oven interior.
CAUTION !
To avoid fire or smoke damage, remove any flammable
materials from storage drawer. Items like plastic
containers and paper manuals can melt or burn.
Prepare for Self-clean
• A small amount of smoke is normal when cleaning.
Excess smoke may indicate a faulty gasket or too
much food residue has been left in oven. Move birds
and small animals susceptible to fumes or smoke to
another room.
• Oven should be cleaned before it gets too dirty. Wipe
up large spills before self-cleaning.
• Do not use cleaning cycle if oven light cover is not
properly in place.
• Remove oven racks and all cooking utensils from oven.
• Clean excess spills from oven interior.
• Remove items from range top and backguard. These
areas can become hot during self-cleaning cycle.
