Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The
Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil
function temperature may be set at any temperature
between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 2) are
recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling times,
or move to a different oven rack position to suit for
doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the
table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook
and watch the item closely.

A WARNING I Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour
may be explosive.
A CAUTION I Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can
cause burns
Important notes:
• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan
along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to
drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and
reduce smoking.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
• Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil
function.
