Broiling

Leave the door open 4" (10.2 cm) at the broil stop position to 
ensure proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes 
before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the 
recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the 
center of the oven rack. 

NOTE:

 Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is 

used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise 
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the 
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish 
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 
7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” 
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain 
the proper temperature.

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

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. 
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information. 

Convection Baking and Roasting 

(on some models)

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually 
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a 
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a 
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more 
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding 
crustier breads.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a 
temperature 25°F (15°C) lower than in a standard thermal oven, 
and cooking time can be shortened by up to 30%.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements 
cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while 
the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, 
the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven 
door is closed.
