the oven on. Refer to broiling chart
below for recommended rack
positions and broiling times.
. Push the Broil button.“ — " will
show in the small display and the
BROIL indicator will come on.
You can broil at one of two
temperatures. To cook at the lower
temperature, turn the Time/Temp
Set Knob one click and “lo” will
appear in the small display. To
cook at the higher temperature,
turn the Time/Temp Set Knob two
clicks and “hi" will appear in the
small display. When the oven turns

50-60 seconds.

food.

the rack and completely close
the oven door.

Broiling tips
■ The effective useful cooking area of
the broiler is reduced when you use
the higher rack positions. In the
second from the top rack position, the
infra-red rays cover only about 85% of
the broiler grid area.
■ To sear meat, place broiler pan at one
of the higher rack positions so that
meat is very near the flame.
■ Small steaks, hamburger patties, etc.,
may be broiled in the higher rack
positions.
■ To cook large steaks and other thick
cuts of meat well done, move them to a
lower rack position after searing.
■ When broiling meat with a high fat
content, it is recommended that the
second rack position or a lower rack
position be used for broiling.
