Broil Notes:
For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for
broiling.
HI is used for most broiling. Use LO broil when broiling
longer cooking foods. The lower temperature allows
food to cook to the well done stage without excessive
browning.
To change the oven temperature during broiling,
press the Broil pad and then press the More+ or Less-
pad to switch between LO and HI broil.
Broil times may be longer when the lower broiling
temperature is selected.
Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling
time.

adding food.
5. Place food in the oven. Leave oven door open about four
inches (the first stop).
6. Turn meat once about halfway through cooking.
7. When food is cooked, press the CANCEL
pad. Remove food and broiler pan from the

Broiling Chart
Preheat oven for 2-3 minutes.
For a browned/seared exterior and rare interior, it may be necessary to decrease cook time on side one and decrease the distance
between the meat and heat source.
Note: This chart is a suggested guide. The times may vary with the food being cooked.

grease from fatty foods may ignite. If a fire should occur, close
the oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire does not
extinquish, DO NOT put water on the fire. Use baking soda,
