Operating the Oven
Your range offers two broil modes:
• Broil
• Convection Broil
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many
foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and
fish.
WARNING
• To avoid burns, keep the oven door completely shut
when using the broil modes.
• To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from
the oven when using either of the broil modes.
Broil
This mode uses a top heat source. It is best for broiling
smaller amounts of food.
Convection Broil
This mode uses a combination of the convection fan and a
top heat source. It is best for items that do not need to be
flipped such as thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic bread.
Broiling Tips
• It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be
present to give the food a broiled flavor.
• Setting the timer is recommended to time the broiling
process.
• Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage
for excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spat-
ter, smoke and flare-ups.
• Start with a room temperature broiler pan for even
cooking.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats.
Never pierce meat with a fork because the natural
juices will escape.
• Broil food on the first side for a little more than half of
the recommended time, then season and turn. Season
the second side just before removing the food from
the oven.
• To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill.
Excess grease will result in heavy smoke. For easier
cleaning, remove the broiler pan and grill when the
food is removed.
