Avoid opening the door often.
For even browning, turn food over halfway through cooking.

The turntable humb must be removed to prevent the turntable
from rotating during broiling. See Turntable section for hub
location. Remove the turntable, lift out the hub, and then replace
the turntable on the support. The turntable must be in place
during broiling, but it should not rotate.
