Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility
of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not
recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker
foods and foods that need to be cooked through should
be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or
by using Traditional Broil Lo or Convection Broil Lo.
Traditional Broil Hi - 550° (cycling temp)
The Traditional Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from
the upper element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for
thinner cuts of meat and/or foods you prefer less done
on the interior. To use this mode press the Broil pad
once under Traditional and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
Traditional Broil Lo - 450° (cycling temp)
The Traditional Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat
from the upper element to cook food thoroughly while
also producing surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker
cuts of meat and/or foods that you would like cooked all
the way through. To use this mode press the Broil pad
twice under Traditional and then press Start. It is not
necessary to preheat when using this mode.
