TO BROIL
Broiling is a quick method of cooking foods by direct radiant heat under the upper broiling element of the oven. Results and cooking times
will depend on the distance between the food and the element. To broil, follow the steps below.
PREHEATING
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. Remove the broiler pan and grid before preheating. Foods placed on the hot metal will stick.
Set the oven control. Wait for upper element to become red hot, usually about 2-3 minutes. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats
well done.
BROILING
1. Remove broiler pan and grid.
2. Place the grid on the broiler pan (if it has been disassembled), and then the meat on the cool broiler
grid. Be sure the grid is in place with the slots down so grease will drain into the pan.
DO NOT
use
the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.
3. Select the desired rack position and slide the broiler pan into place. For rare meats, position the broiler
pan closer to the element (upper position). For well-done foods such as chicken, lobster tails or thick
cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element (lower position).
4. Push the
BROIL pad
. " _ _ _ °" will glow and the word "BROIL" will flash in the display.
NOTE:
If more than 10 seconds elapses between pushing
BROIL pad
and

, the oven is not set and the display will return to the previous display.
5. Push the
UP
( )
ARROW pad
briefly. The display will show HI. The oven has a Variable broil feature
which means that a lower temperature can be selected. Push the
DOWN
( )
ARROW pad
to lower
the temperature in 5°F/2.5°C increments. Three seconds after setting the oven controls, the broiler
element will come on and the words "BROIL" and "ON" will remain in the display. If the Variable broil
feature was selected, the word "ON" will cycle on and off with the heating element.
6. Place the broiler pan in the oven.
Leave the door open at the broil stop position
. The door will
stay open in this position. Broil element will preheat in 2 to 3 minutes. If preheat is recommended,
wait for the broil element to become red, then place food in oven.
7. When cooking is finished, push the
CANCEL pad
.
Broil times vary
, so watch food closely. Time depends on the distance from the element, thickness and
aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer
than the second side. Frozen meats also require additional time.
