Convection Broil
4
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense
heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a
convection fan.
Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick,
tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is
not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and
other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door
closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling,
convection broiling is faster.
Temperature must be set within 450°-550°F to enable
Broil and Convection Broil.
Tips
▯
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
▯
Steaks and chops should be at least 1

“ thick.
▯
Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.

Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
▯
Turn meats (other than fish) once during the
recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be
turned.
▯
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
