PERFECT BROIL™ SYSTEM
For	best	results,	preheat	oven	with	door	closed	at	0°F	for	at	least		minutes	before	broiling.
This	oven	is	designed	to	provide	a	broil	function	with	the	door	slightly	ajar.	You	can	also	select	the	
optimum	broiling	temperature	for	each	specific	food.
.	 Turn	temperature	selector	between	0°F	to	0°F,	as	desired.
.	 Turn	cooking	function	selector	between	BROIL.
.	 Turn	time	selector	to	0	and	then	turn	back	or	forward	to	desired	broiling	time	including		
minute preheat. (Select STAY ON to control cooking time yourself. Be sure to use a kitchen
timer.)
.	 Place	food	on	bake	pan/	drip	tray	or	on	broil	rack	inserted	into	bake	pan/	drip	tray.
Note: Be	sure	food	does	not	extend	past	the	outer	limits	of	the	bake	pan/drip	tray	to	prevent	
grease dripping onto the heating elements. Be sure the top of the food is at least ½ inches from
the	top	heating	element.
.	 Insert	food	into	oven	and	close	door	leaving	it	ajar	at	about	¾-inch	from	the	fully	closed	
position.
ENGLISH
. Broil food according to recipe or package directions and check for doneness at minimum
suggested broiling time.
. If using the oven timer, there will be an audible signal once the broiling cycle is complete.
The oven turns OFF and the light goes out.
		.	 If	not	using	the	oven	timer,	turn	the	oven	to	OFF	once	broiling	cycle	is	complete.
		.	 Using	oven	mitts	or	pot	holders,	lower	oven	door	to	fully	open	position.	Slide	the	rack	out	
along with the bake pan/drip tray to remove the cooked food.
Important: This oven gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when
touching any outer or inner surface of the oven.

BROILING TIPS
•	 Placing	food	on	broil	rack	allows	the	drippings	to	flow	into	the	bake	pan/drip	tray	and	helps		
to prevent smoking from the broiler.
•	 For	best	results,	thaw	frozen	meat,	poultry	and	fish	before	broiling.
•	 If	frozen	steaks	and	chops	are	broiled,	allow	½	to		times	the	broiling	time	as	required	
when fresh.
•	 Trim	excess	fat	from	meat	and	score	edges	to	prevent	curling.
•	 Brush	foods	to	be	broiled	with	oil	and	season	as	desired	before	broiling.
