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.
