SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

SETTING BROIL

This mode is best for meats, fi sh and poultry up to 1”

thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat

by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The

high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer

appearance. The BROIL pad controls the Broil feature. An

optional Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Insert are available

via the enclosed accessories brochure (Figure 2 & 3). The

optional broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow

dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high

heat of the oven broiler. The oven can be programmed

to broil at any temperature from 400°F to 550°F with a

default temperature of 550°F.
Broiling Tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5

minutes.

• Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook

on the second side. Season and serve.

• Always pull the rack out to the

stop

position before

turning or removing food.

• Always use the broiler pan and its cover when broiling.

It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the

high heat of the broil element (see Figure 2).

• For best broiling results, broil with the oven door in the

broil stop position (see Figure 1).

• If using a Searing Grill (available by mail order),

preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing

your meat.

• DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT

cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed

grease could catch fi re.

To set a Broil of 500°F:

1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place

the food on the broiler pan insert. DO NOT use the broiler

pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert

with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.

2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan

on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly

under the broiler element. Make sure the oven door

is in the broil stop position (See Figure 1).

3. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling.

4. Press

UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN to select oven.

5. Press

BROIL.

will appear in the display.

6. Press 5 0 0. If a lower broil temperature is desired

(minimum broil temperature setting is 400°F), press

the desired temperature before continuing to step 7.

7. Press

START. The oven will begin to broil.

500°

will

appear in the display.

8. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook

on the second side. Season and serve. Note: Always

pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or

removing food.

8. To stop broiling press CLEAR.

cause a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.
