Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The lower the
temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly
shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower
broiling temperatures.

■

For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are
designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

■

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom
of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.

■

Broil feature is only available in the upper oven.

■

Select HI/550°F (288°C) broil for most broiling. Select LO/
450°F (232°C) broil for low-temperature broiling of longer
cooking foods such as poultry to avoid overbrowning.

■

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Preheat oven for 5 minutes, position food on grid in the broiler
pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door.

To Broil Using Hi/Low Temperature Settings:

1. Press BROIL.

“BROIL” will appear in the upper text area, and HI will be
displayed.

After 3 seconds, “Set temp or” will scroll in the upper text
area, followed by “Push START.”

2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads to adjust the broil

temperature setting to HI or LO.

3. Press START.

“Broiling” will scroll in the upper text area and remains there
until the set temperature is reached.

Then “BROIL” will scroll in the upper text area until UPPER
CANCEL is pressed.

4. Preheat oven for 5 minutes, then place food in the oven.

5. Press UPPER CANCEL when finished.

6. Remove food from the oven.

BROILING CHART

Broil times are based on a 5-minute preheat. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual tastes. Turn meat
halfway through cooking time. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

*When broiling fish, spray broil pan with cooking oil. Do not turn fish filets.
