To Broil:

1.

Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.

On some models, set the oven selector and oven temperature 
control knob to BROIL. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn 
on.

2.

After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.

On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven 
temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator 
light will turn off.

To Broil at a Lower Temperature:

If food is cooking too fast, turn the oven temperature control 
knob counterclockwise until the OVEN ON indicator light goes 
off.

To broil food slower from the start of cook time, set the oven 
temperature control knob between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and 
163°C). These temperature settings let the broil elements cycle 
and slow cooking results.

Broiling Chart

For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil 
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted 
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are 
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the 
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: 

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 

the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to 
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds 
to another closed and well ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil 
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to 
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air 
must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent(s)” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The 
door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, 
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, 
damaging the oven.

Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. 
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area 
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to 
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough 
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, 
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this 
area.

Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. 
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, 
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not 
affect cooking performance.
